1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1Čo bolo od počiatku, čo sme počuli, čo sme videli svojimi očami, na čo sme sa dívali, a čoho sa naše ruky dotýkaly, o slove života -
2(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
2a ten život sa zjavil, a videli sme a svedčíme a zvestujeme vám ten večný život, ktorý bol u Otca a zjavil sa nám -,
3That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
3teda čo sme videli a počuli, zvestujeme vám, aby ste aj vy mali obecenstvo s nami. A naše obecenstvo je s Otcom a jeho Synom, Ježišom Kristom.
4And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
4A to vám píšeme nato, aby bola vaša radosť naplnená.
5This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
5A toto je zvesť, ktorú sme počuli od neho a ktorú vám zvestujeme, že Bôh je svetlo, a že niet v ňom nijakej tmy.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
6Keď povieme, že máme obecenstvo s ním a chodíme vo tme, luháme a nečiníme pravdy;
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
7ale keď chodíme vo svetle, jako je on vo svetle, máme obecenstvo jeden s druhým, a krv Ježiša Krista, jeho Syna, očisťuje nás od každého hriechu.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
8Keď povieme, že nemáme hriechu, sami seba zvodíme, a niet v nás pravdy.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9Keď vyznávame svoje hriechy, verný je a spravedlivý, aby nám odpustil hriechy a očistil nás od každej neprávosti.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
10Keď povieme, že sme nehrešili, robíme ho lhárom, a niet v nás jeho slova.
