1 John 1:1-3

New Matthew Bible

True witness of the everlasting word of God. The blood of Christ is the purgation from sin. No man is without sin.

1 That 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 – ² for the life appeared, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you that eternal life, which was with the Father and appeared to us – ³ that which we have seen and heard, we declare to you so that you may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ.
