1
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched concerning the Word of life—
2
and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify and announce to you the everlasting life that was with the Father and was revealed to us—
3
what we have seen and heard we also announce to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Yahushua the Anointed.
4
And we write these things so that our joy may be made complete.
5
And this is the message we heard from him and announce to you: Elohim is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all.
6
If we say that we have fellowship with Him while walking in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yahushua His Son cleanses us from every sin.
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 righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from every unrighteousness.
10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.
