[1] That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life [2] (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); [3] that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.ⓘ [4] And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled. [5] This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to 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 the darkness, we lie and don’t tell 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 Jesus Christ his Son cleanses 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 righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

King James Version
[1] That which G3739 was G2258 from G575 the beginning, G746 which G3739 we have heard, G191 which G3739 we have seen G3708 with our G2257 eyes, G3788 which G3739 we have looked upon, G2300 and G2532 our G2257 hands G5495 have handled, G5584 of G4012 the G3588 Word G3056 of life; G2222 [2] (for G2532 the G3588 life G2222 was manifested, G5319 and G2532 we have seen G3708 it, and G2532 bear witness, G3140 and G2532 shew G518 unto you G5213 that G3588 eternal G166 life, G2222 which G3748 was G2258 with G4314 the G3588 Father, G3962 and G2532 was manifested G5319 unto us;) G2254 [3] that which G3739 we have seen G3708 and G2532 heard G191 declare we G518 unto you, G5213 that G2443 ye G5210 also G2532 may have G2192 fellowship G2842 with G3326 us: G2257 and G2532 truly G1161 our G2251 fellowship G2842 is with G3326 the G3588 Father, G3962 and G2532 with G3326 his G846 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 [4] And G2532 these things G5023 write we G1125 unto you, G5213 that G2443 your G5216 joy G5479 may be G5600 full. G4137 [5] This G3778 then G2532 is G2076 the G3588 message G31 which G3739 we have heard G191 of G575 him, G846 and G2532 declare G312 unto you, G5213 that G3754 God G2316 is G2076 light, G5457 and G2532 in G1722 him G846 is G2076 no G3756 darkness G4653 at all. G3762 [6] If G1437 we say G2036 that G3754 we have G2192 fellowship G2842 with G3326 him, G846 and G2532 walk G4043 in G1722 darkness, G4655 we lie, G5574 and G2532 do G4160 not G3756 the G3588 truth: G225 [7] but G1161 if G1437 we walk G4043 in G1722 the G3588 light, G5457 as G5613 he G846 is G2076 in G1722 the G3588 light, G5457 we have G2192 fellowship G2842 one G240 with G3326 another, G240 and G2532 the G3588 blood G129 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 his G846 Son G5207 cleanseth G2511 us G2248 from G575 all G3956 sin. G266 [8] If G1437 we say G2036 that G3754 we have G2192 no G3756 sin, G266 we deceive G4105 ourselves, G1438 and G2532 the G3588 truth G225 is G2076 not G3756 in G1722 us. G2254 [9] If G1437 we confess G3670 our G2257 sins, G266 he is G2076 faithful G4103 and G2532 just G1342 to G2443 forgive G863 us G2254 our sins, G266 and G2532 to cleanse G2511 us G2248 from G575 all G3956 unrighteousness. G93 [10] If G1437 we say G2036 that G3754 we have G264 not G3756 sinned, G264 we make G4160 him G846 a liar, G5583 and G2532 his G846 word G3056 is G2076 not G3756 in G1722 us. G2254
