1 John 1 BSB
The Word of Life
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life. See the Greek order
2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. See the Greek order
3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. See the Greek order
4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete. See the Greek order
Walking in the Light
5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. See the Greek order
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. See the Greek order
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 His Son cleanses us from all sin. See the Greek order
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. See the Greek order
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. See the Greek order
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us. See the Greek order
