1 John Chapter 1

1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with these our eyes, which we have looked upon, and these hands of ours have handled of that word of life,

2(For that life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us.)

3That I say, which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye may also have fellowship with us, and that our fellowship also may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4And these things write I unto you, that your joy may be full.

5This then is the message, which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness.

6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not truly.

7But 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.

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

9If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

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