1 John

生命之道

1论到从起初原有的生命之道，就是我们所听见、所看见、亲眼看过、亲手摸过的。（

2这生命已经显现出来，我们也看见过，现在又作见证，将原与父同在、且显现与我们那永远的生命传给你们。）

3我们将所看见、所听见的传给你们，使你们与我们相交。我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的。

4我们将这些话写给你们，使你们的喜乐充足。

神就是光

5神就是光，在他毫无黑暗。这是我们从主所听见、又报给你们的信息。

6我们若说是与 神相交，却仍在黑暗里行，就是说谎话，不行真理了。

7我们若在光明中行，如同 神在光明中，就彼此相交，他儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪。

8我们若说自己无罪，便是自欺，真理不在我们心里了。

9我们若认自己的罪， 神是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。

10我们若说自己没有犯过罪，便是以 神为说谎的，他的道也不在我们心里了。

The Word of Life

1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.

2And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

3We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

4We write these things so that ourjoy may be complete.

Walking in the Light

5And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

6If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

7Butif we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus 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.
