KJ3 Literal Translation
1 John 1
He describes the person of Christ, in whom we have eternal life by a communion with God.
1That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and that which our hands touched, as regards the Word of Life.
2And the Life was revealed, and we have seen, and we bear witness, and we announce to you the everlasting Life which was with the Father, and was revealed to us.
3We announce to you that which we have seen, and that which we have heard, that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4And we write these things to you, that your joy may be full.
5And this is the message which we have heard from Him, and we announce to you: God is light, and no darkness is in Him, none!
6If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and we walk in darkness, we lie and are not practicing the truth.
7But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.
