요한일서 1

1태초부터 있는 생명의 말씀에 관하여는 우리가 들은 바요 눈으로 본 바요 주목하고 우리 손으로 만진 바라 2이 생명이 나타내신 바 된지라 이 영원한 생명을 우리가 보았고 증거하여 너희에게 전하노니 이는 아버지와 함께 계시다가 우리에게 나타내신 바 된 자니라 3우리가 보고 들은 바를 너희에게도 전함은 너희로 우리와 사귐이 있게 하려 함이니 우리의 사귐은 아버지와 그 아들 예수 그리스도와 함께 함이라 4우리가 이것을 씀은 우리의 기쁨이 충만케 하려 함이로라 5우리가 저에게서 듣고 너희에게 전하는 소식이 이것이니 곧 하나님은 빛이시라 그에게는 어두움이 조금도 없으시니라 6만일 우리가 하나님과 사귐이 있다 하고 어두운 가운데 행하면 거짓말을 하고 진리를 행치 아니함이거니와 7저가 빛 가운데 계신 것 같이 우리도 빛 가운데 행하면 우리가 서로 사귐이 있고 그 아들 예수의 피가 우리를 모든 죄에서 깨끗하게 하실 것이요 8만일 우리가 죄 없다 하면 스스로 속이고 또 진리가 우리 속에 있지 아니할 것이요 9만일 우리가 우리 죄를 자백하면 저는 미쁘시고 의로우사 우리 죄를 사하시며 모든 불의에서 우리를 깨끗케 하실 것이요 10만일 우리가 범죄하지 아니하였다 하면 하나님을 거짓말하는 자로 만드는 것이니 또한 그의 말씀이 우리 속에 있지 아니하니라

1That 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 2(and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); 3that 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 Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled. 5This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1Hetgeen van den beginne was, hetgeen wij gehoord hebben, hetgeen wij gezien hebben met onze ogen, hetgeen wij aanschouwd hebben, en onze handen getast hebben, van het Woord des levens; 2(Want het Leven is geopenbaard, en wij hebben het gezien, en wij getuigen, en verkondigen ulieden dat eeuwige Leven, Hetwelk bij den Vader was, en ons is geopenbaard.) 3Hetgeen wij dan gezien en gehoord hebben, dat verkondigen wij u, opdat ook gij met ons gemeenschap zoudt hebben, en deze onze gemeenschap ook zij met den Vader, en met Zijn Zoon Jezus Christus. 4En deze dingen schrijven wij u, opdat uw blijdschap vervuld zij. 5En dit is de verkondiging, die wij van Hem gehoord hebben, en wij u verkondigen, dat God een Licht is, en gans geen duisternis in Hem is. 6Indien wij zeggen, dat wij gemeenschap met Hem hebben, en wij in de duisternis wandelen, zo liegen wij, en doen de waarheid niet. 7Maar indien wij in het licht wandelen, gelijk Hij in het licht is, zo hebben wij gemeenschap met elkander, en het bloed van Jezus Christus, Zijn Zoon, reinigt ons van alle zonde. 8Indien wij zeggen, dat wij geen zonde hebben, zo verleiden wij ons zelven, en de waarheid is in ons niet. 9Indien wij onze zonden belijden, Hij is getrouw en rechtvaardig, dat Hij ons de zonden vergeve, en ons reinige van alle ongerechtigheid. 10Indien wij zeggen, dat wij niet gezondigd hebben, zo maken wij Hem tot een leugenaar, en Zijn woord is niet in ons.
