isv 1John:1 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
What existed from the beginning ,
what we have heard ,
what we have seen with our eyes ,
what we observed and touched with our own hands —
this is the Word of life !
*
This life was revealed to us ,
and we have seen it and testify about it .
We declare to you this eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us .
*
What we have seen and heard we declare to you so that you ,
too ,
can have fellowship with us .
Now this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with his Son ,
Jesus Christ .
*
We are writing these things so that our joy may be full .
*
This is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you :
God is light ,
and in him there is no darkness —
none at all !
*
If we claim that we have fellowship with him but keep living in the darkness ,
we are lying and the truth is not in us .
*
But if we keep living in the light as he himself is in the light ,
we have fellowship with one another ,
and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin .
*
If we say that we do not have any sin ,
we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us .
*
If we make it our habit to confess our sins ,
he is faithful and righteous to forgive us those sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness .
*
If we say that we have never sinned ,
we make him a liar and his word is not in us .
