1 John 1:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

1 We want to tell you about the Word^[a] that gives life—the one who existed before the world began. This is the one we have heard and have seen with our own eyes. We saw what he did, and our hands touched him. ² Yes, the one who is life was shown to us. We saw him, and so we can tell others about him. We now tell you about him. He is the eternal life that was with God the Father and was shown to us. ³ We are telling you about what we have seen and heard because we want you to have fellowship^[b] with us. The fellowship we share together is with God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ.
