That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have observed and our hands have touched, concerning the Word of life—

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;

the life was made visible, and we have seen it, and we testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us—

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;)

what we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

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.

We write these things to you so that your joy may be fully complete.

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

This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

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.

If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.

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.

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
