1
That which was from [the] beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life;
2
(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which [a] was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:)
3
that which we have seen and heard we report [b] to you, that *ye* also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship [c] [is] indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4
And these things write we to you that your joy may be full.
