Ngôi Lời Sự Sống

Điều vẫn có từ ban đầu, điều chúng tôi đã nghe, điều mắt chúng tôi đã thấy, điều chúng tôi đã chiêm ngưỡng và tay chúng tôi đã sờ về Ngôi Lời sự sống. Vì sự sống đã xuất hiện, chúng tôi đã thấy và làm chứng về sự sống ấy. Chúng tôi loan báo cho anh chị em sự sống vĩnh phúc vốn ở với Chúa Cha và đã xuất hiện cho chúng tôi thấy. Điều chúng tôi đã thấy và nghe, chúng tôi loan báo cho anh chị em để anh chị em cũng được thông công với chúng tôi. Và sự thông công của chúng tôi là với Đức Cha và với Con Ngài, Chúa Cứu Thế Giê-su. Chúng tôi viết điều này để niềm vui của chúng ta được trọn vẹn.

Đức Chúa Trời Là Sự Sáng

Đây là lời chúng tôi đã nghe từ Ngài và chúng tôi loan truyền cho anh chị em rằng: Đức Chúa Trời là sự sáng; trong Ngài không hề có một chút tối tăm nào. Nếu chúng ta nói mình được thông công với Ngài mà vẫn sống trong tối tăm, chúng ta nói dối và không làm theo chân lý. Nhưng nếu chúng ta sống trong ánh sáng cũng như Ngài vẫn hằng ở trong ánh sáng thì chúng ta được thông công với nhau và huyết Đức Giê-su, Con Ngài, thanh tẩy mọi tội lỗi chúng ta.

Nếu chúng ta nói rằng mình không có tội thì chúng ta tự lừa dối mình và chân lý không ở trong chúng ta. Nếu chúng ta xưng tội lỗi mình thì Ngài là Đấng thành tín và công chính sẽ tha thứ tội lỗi chúng ta và thanh tẩy chúng ta sạch mọi điều bất chính. 10 Nếu chúng ta nói rằng mình đã không phạm tội, chúng ta làm cho Ngài trở thành kẻ nói dối và lời Ngài không ở trong chúng ta.

The Incarnation of the Word of Life

That which was from the beginning,(A) which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,(B) which we have looked at and our hands have touched(C)—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared;(D) we have seen it and testify to it,(E) and we proclaim to you the eternal life,(F) which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,(G) so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.(H) We write this(I) to make our[a] joy complete.(J)

Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness

This is the message we have heard(K) from him and declare to you: God is light;(L) in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness,(M) we lie and do not live out the truth.(N) But if we walk in the light,(O) as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin.(P)

If we claim to be without sin,(Q) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.(R) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins(S) and purify us from all unrighteousness.(T) 10 If we claim we have not sinned,(U) we make him out to be a liar(V) and his word is not in us.(W)

What Was Heard, Seen, and Touched(A)

That (B)which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have (C)seen with our eyes, (D)which we have looked upon, and (E)our hands have handled, concerning the (F)Word of life— (G)the life (H)was manifested, and we have seen, (I)and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was (J)with the Father and was manifested to us— that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is (K)with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you (L)that [a]your joy may be full.

Fellowship with Him and One Another

(M)This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that (N)God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. (O)If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we (P)walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and (Q)the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we (R)confess our sins, He is (S)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to (T)cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we (U)make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

The Word of Life

(A)That which was (B)from the beginning, (C)which we have heard, (D)which we have seen with our eyes, (E)which we looked upon and (F)have touched with our hands, concerning the word[a] of life— (G)the life (H)was made manifest, and we have seen it, and (I)testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, (J)which was with the Father and (K)was made manifest to us— (L)that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed (M)our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so (N)that our[b] joy may be complete.

Walking in the Light

(O)This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that (P)God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (Q)If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and (R)do not practice the truth. But (S)if we walk in the light, (T)as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and (U)the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (V)If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and (W)the truth is not in us. (X)If we confess our sins, he is (Y)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and (Z)to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, (AA)we make him a liar, and (AB)his word is not in us.
