1 John 1:1-5 That which was from the beginning, declare we unto you; 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.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ That which was from the beginning, declare we unto you; 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. ² For the life appeared: and we have seen, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the father, and appeared unto us. ³ That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye may have fellowship with us, and that our fellowship may be with the father, and his son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And these things we write unto you, that your joy may be full. ⁵ And this is the tidings which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
