1:1 The message that is life
13 1-3We are reporting to you and testifying about what existed from the beginning:[ref]Yeshua the messiah and son of God. We heard him, we saw him with our own eyes, and we touched him with our own hands. Concerning the message of life, we can also report and testify to you that that life was revealed[ref]—he is the eternal life that was with the father and was revealed to us. We report what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard so that you all also can have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the father and with his son. 4 We’re writing all this so that our joy may be extended to you also.
1:5 We’re all sinners
5 This is the message that we heard from him and which we are declaring to you all: God is light and there is no darkness in him—none at all. 6 If we say that we and him are relating well together and yet we’re walking in the darkness, then we’re lying and not living the truth. 7 But if we’re walking in the light, just like he walks in the light, then we’ll get along well with each other, and his son Yeshua’s blood is removing the consequences of all our sins.
8 If we say that we don’t have any sin, then we’re just fooling ourselves and haven’t embraced the truth. 9 But if we admit our sins, Yeshua is trustworthy and totally sinless, and he will forgive us for our sins and remove all of our guilt and consequences. 10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, then we’re making a liar out of Yeshua and we haven’t internalised his message.
