What Was Heard, Seen, and Touched

1 That awhich was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have bseen with our eyes, cwhich we have looked upon, and dour hands have handled, concerning the eWord of life—  
2 athe life bwas manifested, and we have seen, cand bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was dwith the Father and was manifested to us—  
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is awith the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.  
4 And these things we write to you athat your joy may be full.  

Fellowship with Him and One Another

5 aThis is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that bGod is light and in Him is no darkness at all.  
6 aIf we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

1 John 1:3

That which we have seen and heard - We deliver nothing by hearsay, nothing by tradition, nothing from conjecture; we have had the fullest certainty of all that we write and preach.

That ye also may have fellowship with us - That ye may be preserved from all false doctrine, and have a real participation with us apostles of the grace, peace, love, and life of God, which communion we have with God the Father, who hath loved us, and given his Son Jesus Christ to redeem us; and with his Son Jesus Christ, who laid down his life for the life of the world and through whom, being God manifested in the flesh, we have union with God, are made partakers of the Divine nature and dwell in God, and God in us.
