Introduction,
The Incarnate Word |
|
|
 |
|
1 John 1:1
|
|
What was from the beginning, what we have heard,
what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands,
concerning the Word of Life-- |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 1:2
|
|
and the life was manifested, and we have seen
and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and
was manifested to us-- |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 1:3
|
|
what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you
also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is
with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 1:4
|
|
These things we write, so that our joy may be
made complete. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
God Is Light |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 1:5
|
|
This is the message we have heard from Him and
announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 1:6
|
|
If we say that we have fellowship with Him and
yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 1:7
|
|
but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is
in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His
Son cleanses us from all sin. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 1:8
|
|
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving
ourselves and the truth is not in us. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 1:9
|
|
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 1:10
|
|
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him
a liar and His word is not in us. |
