The Word of Life
1 We write to you about the Word
of life, which has existed from
the very beginning. We have heard
it, and we have seen it with our eyes;
yes, we have seen it, and our hands
have touched it. note
2 When this life became
visible, we saw it; so we speak
of it and tell you about the eternal
life which was with the Father and
was made known to us. note
3 What we
have seen and heard we announce to
you also, so that you will join with
us in the fellowship that we have
with the Father and with his Son
Jesus Christ.
4 We write this in order
that our note joy may be complete.
God Is Light
5 Now the message that we have
heard from his Son and announce is
this: God is light, and there is no
darkness at all in him.
6 If, then, we
say that we have fellowship with
him, yet at the same time live in the
darkness, we are lying both in our
words and in our actions.
7 But if
we live in the light—just as he is in
the light—then we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of
Jesus, his Son, purifies us from
every sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and there is no
truth in us.
9 But if we confess our
-- --
sins to God, he will keep his promise
and do what is right: he will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all
our wrongdoing.
10 If we say that
we have not sinned, we make a
liar out of God, and his word is not
in us.
