1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

2 (and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us),

3 what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4 And we write these things to you, so that our joy may be made full.

5 And this is the message that we have heard from him and declare 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 do not the truth.

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from every unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1 That which was fro the begynninge concerninge which we have hearde which we have sene with oure eyes which we have loked vpon and oure hondes have hadled of the worde of life.

2 For the lyfe appered and we have sene and beare witnes and shewe vnto you that eternall lyfe which was with the father and appered vnto vs.

3 That which we have sene and herde declare we vnto you that ye maye have felloushippe with vs and that oure fellishippe maye be with the father and his sonne Iesus Christ.

4 And this write we vnto you that oure ioye maye be full.

5 And this is the tydynges which we have hearde of him and declare vnto you that god is lyght and in him is no darknes at all

6 yf we saye that we have fellishippe with him and yet walke in darknes we lye and do not the truth:

7 but and yf we walke in (lyght) even as he is in lyght then have we fellishippe with him and the bloud of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.

8 Yf we saye that we have no synne we deceave oure selves and trueth is not in vs.

9 Yf we knowledge oure synnes he is faythfull and iust to forgeve vs oure synnes and to clense vs from all vnrightewesnes.

10 Yf we saye we have not sinned we make him a lyar and his worde is not in vs.
