[1 He declareth what he had seen and known of the Word of life. 5 The necessity of holiness, in order to fellowship with God.
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 shew 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.
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 cleanest us from all
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 just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make
him a liar, and his word is not in us.
