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;
1Kar je bilo od začetka, kar smo slišali, kar smo videli na svoje oči, kar smo gledali in so tipale naše roke, o Besedi življenja
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;)
2(in življenje se je razodelo, in videli smo in pričamo in oznanjujemo vam večno življenje, ki je bilo pri Očetu in se je razodelo nam);
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.
3kar smo videli in slišali, oznanjamo vam, da imate tudi vi deleštvo z nami; deleštvo naše pa je z Očetom in Sinom njegovim Jezusom Kristusom.
4And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
4In to pišemo, da bode veselje vaše popolno.
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.
5In to je oznanilo, ki smo ga slišali od njega in ga vam oznanjamo: da je Bog luč, in teme v njem ni nobene.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
6Ako pravimo, da imamo deleštvo ž njim, pa živimo v temi, lažemo in ne delamo resnice;
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.
7če pa živimo v luči, kakor je on v luči, imamo deleštvo [Ali: družbo, zvezo.] med seboj in kri Jezusa Kristusa, Sina njegovega, nas očiščuje slehernega greha.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
8Ako pravimo, da nimamo greha, sami sebe slepimo, in resnice ni v nas.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9Če pripoznavamo grehe svoje, je zvest in pravičen, da nam odpusti grehe in nas očisti sleherne krivice.Ako pravimo, da nismo grešili, ga delamo za lažnika, in besede njegove ni v nas.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
10Ako pravimo, da nismo grešili, ga delamo za lažnika, in besede njegove ni v nas.
