1 John 1

1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled, of the word of life.

1That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life--

2For the life was manifested: and we have seen and do bear witness and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father and hath appeared to us.

2and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us--

3That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you: that you also may have fellowship with us and our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

3that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship <FI>is<Fi> with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;

4And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice and your joy may be full.

4and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

5And this is the declaration which we have heard from him and declare unto you: That God is light and in him there is no darkness.

5And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all;

6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth.

6if we may say--`we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk--we lie, and do not the truth;

7But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another: And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

7and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light--we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

8if we may say--`we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

9if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar: and his word is not in us.

10if we may say--`we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
