Full Translation

So, this is the message which we have heard from him and are announcing to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. If we say that we have fellowship with but we walk in darkness then we are lying and are not practising the truth! But if we walk in the light, just as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of his son, Jesus, cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we do not have sin, then we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just so that he might forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

What was from the beginning: what we have heard, what we our eyes have seen, what we looked at and what our hands touched concerning the Word of Life… Yes! The life was revealed! We have seen it. We bear witness to it. And we are announcing it to you! It is Life Eternal that was with that was with the father. It’s what was revealed to us. What we have seen and what we have heard we are proclaiming also to you so that you may have fellowship with us. Indeed, just as our fellowship is with the father and with his son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this to you so that our joy might be complete.
