約翰一書 1

Study

1 論到從起初原有的生命之道,就是我們所見、所看見、親眼看過、親手摸過的。

2 這生命已經顯現出來,我們也看見過,現在又作見證,將原與父同在、且顯現與我們那永遠的生命、傳給你們。

3 我們將所看見、所見的傳給你們,使你們與我們相交。我們乃是與父並他兒子耶穌基督相交的。

4 我們將這些話給你們,使你們(有古卷作:我們)的喜樂充足。

5 神就是光,在他毫無黑暗。這是我們從主所見、又報給你們的信息。

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。

7 我們若在光明中行,如同神在光明中,就彼此相交,他兒子耶穌的血也洗淨我們一切的罪。

8 我們若說自己無罪,便是自欺,真理不在我們心裡了。

9 我們若認自己的罪,神是信實的,是公的,必要赦免我們的罪,洗淨我們一切的不

10 我們若說自己沒有犯過罪,便是以神為說謊的,他的道也不在我們心裡了。

10. 8. He is called Father and Son (1 John 1:3; 2:1; 2 John 1:3; 1 John 2:22-23; Jude 1:4).

The Lord is life revealed and made manifest, and God is light (1 John 1:2, 5).

He is a propitiation for our sins (1 John 2:2; 4:10). For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8; 4:10).

That we shall abide in Christ (1 John 2:5, 6, 24; 3:6). He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son: whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father (1 John 2:22-23).

He that keepeth His commands dwelleth in Him, and He in him. Hereby we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him; and he in God (1 John 3:24; 4:13, 15, 16).

He who confesseth Jesus Christ, who lived in the flesh, is of God; he who confesseth not is not of God (1 John 4:2-3). Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) is born of God (1 John 5:1).

Who hath overcome the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 5:5).

This is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life. He who believeth in the name of the Son of God hath eternal life (1 John 5:10-13).

We know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know [Him that is] true, and we are in [Him that is] true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (1 John 5:20-21).

To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and power (Jude 1:25).
