1 John 1:1-5 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have contemplated, and our very hands have felt concerning the Word of life,

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have contemplated, and our very hands have felt concerning the Word of life, ² (for this Life was manifested, and we saw it; and we testify and declare unto you that eternal Life, which was with the Father, ³ and was manifested unto us) what we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have communion with us: and our communion is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And these things we write unto you, that your joy may be complete. ⁵ Now this we have heard from Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
