That which{G3739} was{G2258}{(G5713)} from{G575} the beginning{G746}, which{G3739} we have heard{G191}{(G5754)}, which{G3739} we have seen{G3708}{(G5758)} with our{G2257} eyes{G3788}, which{G3739} we have looked upon{G2300}{(G5662)}, and{G2532} our{G2257} hands{G5495} have handled{G5584}{(G5656)}, of{G4012} the Word{G3056} of life{G2222};

(For{G2532} the life{G2222} was manifested{G5319}{(G5681)}, and{G2532} we have seen{G3708}{(G5758)} it, and{G2532} bear witness{G3140}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} shew{G518}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213} that eternal{G166} life{G2222}, which{G3748} was{G2258}{(G5713)} with{G4314} the Father{G3962}, and{G2532} was manifested{G5319}{(G5681)} unto us{G2254};)

That which{G3739} we have seen{G3708}{(G5758)} and{G2532} heard{G191}{(G5754)} declare we{G518}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, that{G2443} ye{G5210} also{G2532} may have{G2192}{(G5725)} fellowship{G2842} with{G3326} us{G2257}: and{G2532} truly our{G2251} fellowship{G2842}{G1161} is with{G3326} the Father{G3962}, and{G2532} with{G3326} his{G846} Son{G5207} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}.

And{G2532} these things{G5023} write we{G1125}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, that{G2443} your{G5216} joy{G5479} may be{G5600}{(G5753)} full{G4137}{(G5772)}.

This{G3778} then{G2532} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the message{G1860} which{G3739} we have heard{G191}{(G5754)} of{G575} him{G846}, and{G2532} declare{G312}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, that{G3754} God{G2316} is{G2076}{(G5748)} light{G5457}, and{G2532} in{G1722} him{G846} is{G2076}{(G5748)} no{G3756} darkness{G4653} at all{G3762}.

If{G1437} we say{G2036}{(G5632)} that{G3754} we have{G2192}{(G5719)} fellowship{G2842} with{G3326} him{G846}, and{G2532} walk{G4043}{(G5725)} in{G1722} darkness{G4655}, we lie{G5574}{(G5727)}, and{G2532} do{G4160}{(G5719)} not{G3756} the truth{G225}:

But{G1161} if{G1437} we walk{G4043}{(G5725)} in{G1722} the light{G5457}, as{G5613} he{G846} is{G2076}{(G5748)} in{G1722} the light{G5457}, we have{G2192}{(G5719)} fellowship{G2842} one with another{G3326}{G240}, and{G2532} the blood{G129} of Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} his{G846} Son{G5207} cleanseth{G2511}{(G5719)} us{G2248} from{G575} all{G3956} sin{G266}.

If{G1437} we say{G2036}{(G5632)} that{G3754} we have{G2192}{(G5719)} no{G3756} sin{G266}, we deceive{G4105}{(G5719)} ourselves{G1438}, and{G2532} the truth{G225} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} in{G1722} us{G2254}.

If{G1437} we confess{G3670}{(G5725)} our{G2257} sins{G266}, he is{G2076}{(G5748)} faithful{G4103} and{G2532} just{G1342} to{G2443} forgive{G863}{(G5632)} us{G2254} our sins{G266}, and{G2532} to cleanse{G2511}{(G5661)} us{G2248} from{G575} all{G3956} unrighteousness{G93}.

If{G1437} we say{G2036}{(G5632)} that{G3754} we have{G264} not{G3756} sinned{G264}{(G5758)}, we make{G4160}{(G5719)} him{G846} a liar{G5583}, and{G2532} his{G846} word{G3056} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} in{G1722} us{G2254}.
