1 John 1:2-4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 And the Life [[a]an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest, demonstrated), and we saw [as eyewitnesses] and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life [[b]in Him] Who already existed with the Father and Who [actually] was made visible (was revealed) to us [His followers].
3 What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may [c]realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a [d]distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
4 And we are now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing you included] may be full [and [e]your joy may be complete].
