CHAPTER 1

| 1 | ο |  | ην |  | απ |  | αρχης |  | ο |  | ακηκοαμεν |  | ο |  | εωρακαμεν |
|  | That which |  | was |  | from |  | [the] beginning, |  | that which |  | we have heard, |  | that which |  | we have seen |

τοις |  | οφθαλμοις |  | ημων |  | ο |  | εθεασαμεθα |  | και |  | αι |  | χειρες |  | ημων |
with our eyes, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | that which |  | we gazed upon |  | and |  | ♦ |  | hands 2 |  | our 1 |

εψηλαφησαν |  | περι |  | του |  | λογου |  | της |  | ζωης |  |
handled |  | concerning |  | the |  | Word |  | ♦ |  | of life; |  |

| 2 | και |  | η |  | ζωη |  | εφανερωθη |  | και |  | εωρακαμεν |  | και |  | μαρτυρουμεν |  | και |
|  | (and |  | the |  | life |  | was manifested, |  | and |  | we have seen, |  | and |  | bear witness, |  | and |

απαγγελλομεν |  | υμιν |  | την |  | ζωην |  | την |  | αιωνιον |  | ητις |  | ην |  | προς |  | τον |  | πατερα |  | και
report |  | to you |  | the |  | life 2 |  | ♦ |  | eternal, 1 |  | which |  | was |  | with |  | the |  | Father, |  | and

| εφανερωθη |  | ημιν |  |
| was manifested |  | to us:) |  |

| 3 | ο |  | εωρακαμεν |  | και |  | ακηκοαμεν |  | απαγγελλομεν |  | υμιν |  | ινα |  | και |  | υμεις |
|  | that which |  | we have seen |  | and |  | have heard |  | we report |  | to you, |  | that |  | also |  | ye |

κοινωνιαν |  | εχητε |  | μεθ |  | ημων |  | και |  | η |  | κοινωνια |  | δε |  | η |  | ημετερα |  | μετα |  | του |
fellowship |  | may have |  | with |  | us; |  | and |  | ♦ |  | fellowship 2 |  | indeed 3 |  | ♦ |  | our [is] 1 |  | with |  | the |

πατρος |  | και |  | μετα |  | του |  | υιου |  | αυτου |  | ιησου |  | χριστου |  |
Father, |  | and |  | with |  | his Son |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | Jesus |  | Christ. |  |

| 4 | και |  | ταυτα |  | γραφομεν |  | υμιν |  | ινα |  | η |  | χαρα |  | ημων |  | η |  | πεπληρωμενη |  |
|  | And |  | these things |  | we write |  | to you |  | that |  | ♦ |  | joy 2 |  | our 1 |  | may be |  | full. |  |

| 5 | και |  | αυτη |  | εστιν |  | η |  | επαγγελια |  | ην |  | ακηκοαμεν |  | απ |  | αυτου |  | και |
|  | And |  | this |  | is |  | the |  | message |  | which |  | we have heard |  | from |  | him, |  | and |

αναγγελλομεν |  | υμιν |  | οτι |  | ο |  | θεος |  | φως |  | εστιν |  | και |  | σκοτια |  | εν |  | αυτω |
announce |  | to you, |  | that |  | ♦ |  | God |  | light 2 |  | is, 1 |  | and |  | darkness |  | in |  | him |

ουκ |  | εστιν |  | ουδεμια |  |
is not any at all. |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  |

| 6 | εαν |  | ειπωμεν |  | οτι |  | κοινωνιαν |  | εχομεν |  | μετ |  | αυτου |  | και |  | εν |  | τω |  | σκοτει |
|  | If |  | we should say |  | that |  | fellowship |  | we have |  | with |  | him, |  | and |  | in |  | ♦ |  | darkness |

περιπατωμεν |  | ψευδομεθα |  | και |  | ου |  | ποιουμεν |  | την |  | αληθειαν |  |
should walk, |  | we lie, |  | and |  | do not practise |  | ♦ |  | the |  | truth. |  |

| 7 | εαν |  | δε |  | εν |  | τω |  | φωτι |  | περιπατωμεν |  | ως |  | αυτος |  | εστιν |  | εν |  | τω |  | φωτι |
|  | But if |  | ♦ |  | in |  | the |  | light |  | we should walk, |  | as |  | he |  | is |  | in |  | the |  | light, |

κοινωνιαν |  | εχομεν |  | μετ |  | αλληλων |  | και |  | το |  | αιμα |  | ιησου |  | χριστου |  | του |  | υιου |
fellowship |  | we have |  | with |  | one another, |  | and |  | the |  | blood |  | of Jesus |  | Christ |  | ♦ |  | Son 2 |

αυτου |  | καθαριζει |  | ημας |  | απο |  | πασης |  | αμαρτιας |  |
his 1 |  | cleanses |  | us |  | from |  | every |  | sin. |  |

| 8 | εαν |  | ειπωμεν |  | οτι |  | αμαρτιαν |  | ουκ |  | εχομεν |  | εαυτους |  | πλανωμεν |  | και |
|  | If |  | we should say |  | that |  | sin |  | we have not, |  | ♦ |  | ourselves |  | we deceive, |  | and |

η |  | αληθεια |  | ουκ |  | εστιν |  | εν |  | ημιν |  |
the |  | truth |  | is not |  | ♦ |  | in |  | us. |  |

| 9 | εαν |  | ομολογωμεν |  | τας |  | αμαρτιας |  | ημων |  | πιστος |  | εστιν |  | και |  | δικαιος |  | ινα |
|  | If |  | we should confess |  | our sins, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | faithful |  | he is |  | and |  | righteous, |  | that |

αφη |  | ημιν |  | τας |  | αμαρτιας |  | και |  | καθαριση |  | ημας |  | απο |  | πασης |  | αδικιας
he may forgive |  | us |  | the |  | sins, |  | and |  | may cleanse |  | us |  | from |  | all |  | unrighteousness.

| 10 | εαν |  | ειπωμεν |  | οτι |  | ουχ |  | ημαρτηκαμεν |  | ψευστην |  | ποιουμεν |
|  | If |  | we should say |  | that |  | we have not sinned, |  | ♦ |  | a liar |  | we make |

αυτον |  | και |  | ο |  | λογος |  | αυτου |  | ουκ |  | εστιν |  | εν |  | ημιν |  |
him, |  | and |  | ♦ |  | word 2 |  | his 1 |  | is not |  | ♦ |  | in |  | us. |  |
