1 John 1:1

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.

7 But if we ^awalk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^bthe 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.
