A Fresh Translation of 1 John 1

     What was from the start, what we had heard, what we had seen with our own eyes, what we gazed at and our own hands groped about for about the Message of the Life—and the Life was made visible, and we had seen and we are testifying and we are proclaiming to you the life of the Eternal One which was facing the Father and was made visible to us—what we had seen and had heard, we are proclaiming to you, so that you also would hold communion with us. And the communion which is ours is with the Father and with His Son, Yeshua the Christ. And we are writing these things, so that our joy might be having been filled to the brim.

     And this is the report which we had heard from Him and re-tell to you, that God is light and there is not one bit of darkness in Him at all. If we should say that we hold communion with Him and should walk within the darkness, we are lying and aren’t practicing the Truth; yet if we should walk within the light like He is within the light, we hold communion with one another and the blood of Yeshua His Son makes us clean from every malfunction. If we should say the we don’t possess a malfunction, we are leading ourselves astray and the Truth is not within us. If we should agree about our malfunctioning behaviors, He is trusted and right, so that He would let those malfunctioning behaviors go for us and make us clean from every wrong. If we should say that we hadn’t malfunctioned, we make Him a liar and His Message isn’t within us.
