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. 4We’re writing all this so that our joy may be extended to you also.

1What was from the_beginning, what we_have_heard, what we_have_seen with_the eyes of_us, what we_saw, and the hands of_us touched, concerning the message of_ the _life, 2and the life was_revealed, and we_have_seen, and we_are_testifying, and we_are_reporting to_you_all, the life the eternal, which was with the father, and was_revealed to_us, 3what we_have_seen, and we_have_heard, we_are_reporting also to_you_all, in_order_that also you_all may_be_having fellowship with us, and also the the our_ fellowship _is with the father, and with the son of_him, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah.
4And we are_writing these things, in_order_that the joy of_us may_be having_been_fulfilled.

1:5 We’re all sinners

5This 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. 6If 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. 7But 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.

8If we say that we don’t have any sin, then we’re just fooling ourselves and haven’t embraced the truth. 9But 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. 10If we say that we haven’t sinned, then we’re making a liar out of Yeshua and we haven’t internalised his message.


5And this is the message which we_have_heard from him and we_are_declaring to_you_all, that the god is light, and darkness is not in him, not_one.
6If we_may_say that we_are_having fellowship with him, and_yet we_may_be_walking in the darkness, we_are_lying and we_are_ not _practicing the truth.
7But if we_may_be_walking in the light as he is in the light, we_are_having fellowship with one_another, and the blood of_Yaʸsous the son of_him, is_cleansing us from all sin.
8If we_may_say that we_are_ not _having sin, we_are_deceiving ourselves and the truth is not.
in us.
9If we_may_be_confessing the sins of_us, he_is faithful and righteous, in_order_that he_may_forgive our sins to_us, and may_cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we_may_say that we_have_ not _sinned, we_are_making him a_liar, and the message of_him is not in us.
