1 John 1
The Word of
Life |
1 |
That which was from the beginning, Joh.
1.1 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 was manifested, and we have
seen it, Joh. 1.14 and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which
was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
|
3 |
that which we have seen and heard declare
we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our
fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus
Christ.
|
4 |
And these things write we unto you, that
your joy may be full.
|
God Is
Light |
5 |
This then is the message which we have
heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is
no darkness at all.
|
6 |
If we say that we have fellowship with
him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
|
7 |
but if we walk in the light, as he is in
the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of
Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
|
Sin, Its Reality and
Remedy |
8 |
If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
|
9 |
If we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
|
10 |
If we say that we have not sinned, we
make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
