That which was from (the) beginning , which we have heard , which we have seen with our own eyes , which we have gazed upon and touched (with) our (own) hands — (this is ) the Word - of life.
And (this is) the life that was revealed ; - we have seen (it) and testified (to it) , and we proclaim to you the eternal - life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
We proclaim to you - what we have seen and heard , so that you also may have fellowship with us. And - (this) fellowship - of ours (is) with the Father and with His - Son , Jesus Christ.
- We write these things so that our - joy may be complete.
And this is the message - we have heard from Him and announce to you - : - God is light , and in Him there is no darkness (at all).
If we say - we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness , we lie and {do} not practice the tRuth -.
But if we 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.
If we say - we have no sin , we deceive ourselves , and the tRuth - is not in us.
If we confess our - sins , He is faithful and just to forgive us (our) sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say - vvv we have not sinned , we make Him out to be ... a liar , and His - word is not in us.
