1 John 1 - Evangelical Heritage Version - 2021（EHV）

The Word of Life

1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have observed and our hands have touched regarding the Word of Life—

2the life appeared, and we have seen it. We testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.

3We are proclaiming what we have seen and heard also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ.

4We write these things to you so that our joy may be complete.

Walking in the Light

5This is the message we heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light. In him there is no darkness at all.

6If we say we have fellowship with him but still walk in darkness, we are lying and do not put the truth into practice.

7But if we walk in the light, just as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

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

9If we confess 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 out to be a liar, and his Word is not in us.
