CHAPTER 1
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.
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 confess
our
sins,
He is
faithful
and
just
to
forgive
us
our
sins
and
to cleanse
us
from
all
unrighteousness.
