1 Šta beše ispočetka, šta čusmo, šta videsmo očima svojim, šta razmotrismo i ruke naše opipaše, o reči života: 2 I život se javi, i videsmo, i svedočimo, i javljamo vam život večni, koji beše u Oca, i javi se nama; 3 šta videsmo i čusmo to javljamo vama da i vi s nama imate zajednicu; a naša je zajednica s Ocem i sa Sinom Njegovim Isusom Hristom. 4 I ovo vam pišemo da radost vaša bude ispunjena. 5 I ovo je obećanje koje čusmo od Njega i javljamo vama, da je Bog videlo, i tame u Njemu nema nikakve. 6 Ako kažemo da imamo zajednicu s Njim a u tami hodimo, lažemo i ne tvorimo istine. 7 Ako li u videlu hodimo, kao što je On sam u videlu, imamo zajednicu jedan s drugim, i krv Isusa Hrista, Sina Njegovog, očišćava nas od svakog greha. 8 Ako kažemo da greha nemamo, sebe varamo, i istine nema u nama. 9 Ako priznajemo grehe svoje, veran je i pravedan da nam oprosti grehe naše, i očisti nas od svake nepravde. 10 Ako kažemo da ne sagrešismo, gradimo Ga lažom, i reč Njegova nije u nama.

For the words of the apostle are the confession, not of the common herd, but of the eminently pious, just, and holy men: "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." When there shall be no sin in a man, then there shall be this apatheia.
