When it comes to the original way of life from the beginning, it is what we hear, see, see, and touch with our own hands.

(This life has already been revealed, and we have seen it before, and now we bear witness to proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and revealed to us.).

We will convey to you what we see and hear, so that you may have fellowship with us. We have fellowship with the Father and his son Jesus Christ.

We will write these words to you, so that your joy may be abundant.

God is light, in whom there is no darkness. This is the information we have heard from the Lord and have reported to you.

If we claim to have fellowship with God but still walk in darkness, we are lying and do not practice the truth.

If we walk in the light, just as God is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of his son Jesus cleanses us from all our sins.

If we say we are innocent, it is self deception, and the truth is not in our hearts.

If we confess our sins, God is faithful and righteous, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we claim that we have not committed any sin, we consider God to be a liar. His way is no longer in our hearts.
