The Bible
1 John Chapter 1
1What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life 2and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); 3what we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus AnointedOne
4And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
5This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell 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 Jesus AnointedOne
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 to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
