1:1

Ο ην απ αρχης ο ακηκοαμεν ο εωρακαμεν τοις οφθαλμοις ημων ο εθεασαμεθα και αι χειρες ημων εψηλαφησαν περι του Λογου της ζωης

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life

1:2

και η ζωη εφανερωθη και εωρακαμεν και μαρτυρουμεν και απαγγελλομεν υμιν την ζωην την αιωνιον ητις ην προς τον Πατερα και εφανερωθη ημιν

(and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us);

1:3

ο εωρακαμεν και ακηκοαμεν απαγγελλομεν και υμιν ινα και υμεις κοινωνιαν εχητε μεθ ημων και η κοινωνια δε η ημετερα μετα του Πατρος και μετα του Υιου αυτου Ιησου Χριστου

that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:

1:4

και ταυτα γραφομεν ημεις ινα η χαρα ημων η πεπληρωμενη

and these things we write, that our joy may be made full.

1:5

Και εστιν αυτη η αγγελια ην ακηκοαμεν απ αυτου και αναγγελλομεν υμιν οτι ο Θεος φως εστιν και σκοτια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν ουδεμια

And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

1:6

Εαν ειπωμεν οτι κοινωνιαν εχομεν μετ αυτου και εν τω σκοτει περιπατωμεν ψευδομεθα και ου ποιουμεν την αληθειαν

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

1:7

εαν εν τω φωτι περιπατωμεν ως αυτος εστιν εν τω φωτι κοινωνιαν εχομεν μετ αλληλων και το αιμα Ιησου του Υιου αυτου καθαριζει ημας απο πασης αμαρτιας

but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1:8

Εαν ειπωμεν οτι αμαρτιαν ουκ εχομεν εαυτους πλανωμεν και η αληθεια ουκ εστιν εν ημιν

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1:9

εαν ομολογωμεν τας αμαρτιας ημων πιστος εστιν και δικαιος ινα αφη ημιν τας αμαρτιας και καθαριση ημας απο πασης αδικιας

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1:10

εαν ειπωμεν οτι ουχ ημαρτηκαμεν ψευστην ποιουμεν αυτον και ο λογος αυτου ουκ εστιν εν ημιν

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
