1 John 1:1-10 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— ² and the life was made manifest, and we have seen and bear witness, and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us— ³ that which we have seen and have heard, we proclaim to you also, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. ⁴ And these things we write, so that our joy might be complete. ⁵ And this is the message that we have heard from Him and we preach to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we should say that we have fellowship with Him, and yet should walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. ⁷ But if we should walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we should say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we should confess our sins, He is faithful and just, that He may forgive us our sins and might cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we should say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
