| 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: |
| 1:7 | 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. |
| 1:8 | 我們若說自己無罪、便是自欺、真理不在我們心裡了。 |
| 1:8 | 我们若说自己无罪，便是自欺，真里不在我们心里了。 |
| 1ki:8:46 | If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near; |
| pro:20:9 | Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? |
| jer:2:35 | Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. |
| job:9:2 | I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? |
| job:15:14 | What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? |
| job:25:4 | How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? |
| 1jn:2:4 | He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. |

| 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. |
