1 John 1:4

1 John 1:4

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.

We write (grafomen hmeiv). Literary plural present active indicative of grafw, which see in the singular in I John 2:12-14.

May be fulfilled (h peplhrwmenh). Periphrastic perfect passive subjunctive of plhrow, stressing the state of completion in the purpose (ina), remain full, precisely as in John 16:24. See aorist subjunctive in John 15:11 and perfect indicative in John 17:13. The MSS. differ as often between hmwn (our) and umwn (your).
