1:5光照在黑暗里,黑暗却不接受光。
1:6有一个人,是从 神那里差来的,名叫约翰。
1:7这人来,为要作见证,就是为光作见证,叫众人因他可以信。
1:8他不是那光,乃是要为光作见证。
1:9那光是真光,照亮一切生在世上的人。
1:10他在世界,世界也是藉著他造的,世界却不认识他。
5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
