1 John 1

Common English Bible CEB

1 We announce to you what existed from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have seen and our hands handled, about the word of life.

2 The life was revealed, and we have seen, and we testify and announce to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

3 What we have seen and heard, we also announce it to you so that you can have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

4 We are writing these things so that our joy can be complete.

5 This is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you: "God is light and there is no darkness in him at all."

6 If we claim, "We have fellowship with him," and live in the darkness, we are lying and do not act truthfully.

7 But if we live in the light in the same way as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin.

8 If we claim, "We don't have any sin," we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from everything we've done wrong.

10 If we claim, "We have never sinned," we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

English Standard Version ESV

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life—

2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—

3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

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

7 But if 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.

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

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
