| 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. |
| 1:6 | If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: |
| 1:6 | 我們若說是與 神相交、卻仍在黑暗裡行、就是說謊話、不行真理了． |
| 1:6 | 我们若说是与神相交，却仍在黑暗里行，就是说谎话，不行真理了。 |
| jhn:12:35 | Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. |
| 1jn:2:11 | But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. |
| jhn:3:21 | But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. |

| 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. |
