That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

(and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Mother, and was revealed to us);

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Mother, and with her Daughter, Jesus Christ.

And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.

This is the message which we have heard from her and announce to you, that God is light, and in her is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with her and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell the truth.

But if we walk in the light, as she is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, her Daughter, cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, she is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say that we haven't sinned, we make her a liar, and her word is not in us.
