1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it , and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto 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 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 one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 Quod fuit ab initio quod audivimus quod vidimus oculis
nostris
quod perspeximus et manus nostrae temptaverunt
de verbo vitae
2 et vita manifestata est et vidimus et testamur
et adnuntiamus vobis vitam aeternam quae erat apud Patrem
et apparuit nobis
3 quod vidimus et audivimus adnuntiamus et vobis
ut et vos societatem habeatis nobiscum
et societas nostra sit cum Patre
et cum Filio eius Iesu Christo
4 et haec scribimus vobis
ut gaudium nostrum sit plenum
5 et haec est adnuntiatio quam audivimus ab eo
et adnuntiamus vobis
quoniam Deus lux est et tenebrae in eo non sunt ullae
6 si dixerimus quoniam societatem habemus cum eo
et in tenebris ambulamus
mentimur et non facimus veritatem
7 si autem in luce ambulemus
sicut et ipse est in luce
societatem habemus ad invicem
et sanguis Iesu Filii eius
mundat nos ab omni peccato
8 si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus
ipsi nos seducimus et veritas in nobis non est
9 si confiteamur peccata nostra
fidelis est et iustus ut remittat nobis peccata
et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate
10 si dixerimus quoniam non peccavimus
mendacem facimus eum
et verbum eius non est in nobis
