Introduction

1 That which was from the beginning, 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], 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 you2f also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].

4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Walk in the Light

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God-The Father 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 Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Confession of Sin

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the tis 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.
