| 1:1 | 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; |
| 1:2 | (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;) |
| 1:3 | That 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. |
| 1:4 | And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. |
| 1:5 | This 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. |
| 1:5 | 神就是光、在他亳無黑暗．這是我們從主所聽見、又報給你們的信息。 |
| 1:5 | 神就是光，在他毫无黑暗。这是我们从主所听见，又报给你们的信息。 |
| jhn:1:4 | In him was life; and the life was the light of men. |
| jhn:1:9 | That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. |
| jhn:8:12 | Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. |
| 1ti:6:16 | Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. |
| jas:1:17 | Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. |
| heb:2:3 | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; |
| 1jn:3:11 | For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. |

| 1:6 | If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: |
| 1:7 | But 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. |
| 1:8 | If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. |
| 1:9 | If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. |
| 1:10 | If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. |
