1 John 1

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.

1 Les anunciamos a ustedes la Palabra de vida que desde el principio ya existía. ¡Nosotros mismos la oímos, la vimos con nuestros propios ojos y la palpamos con nuestras manos!

2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

2 Esa vida, que estaba con el Padre, se ha dado a conocer; y nosotros, que la experimentamos, hemos testificado de ella.

3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

3 La predicamos a ustedes para que junto con nosotros participen también de la comunión que disfrutamos con el Padre y con Jesucristo, su Hijo.

4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete.

4 Les escribimos esto para que nuestra alegría sea completa.

5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

5 Este es el mensaje que Dios nos ha dado para ustedes: Dios es luz y en él no hay tinieblas.

6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

6 Por lo tanto, si afirmamos que somos amigos suyos y seguimos viviendo en las tinieblas, mentimos y no estamos poniendo en práctica la verdad.

7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

7 Pero si, al igual que Cristo, vivimos en la luz, entre nosotros habrá compañerismo, y la sangre de Jesucristo el Hijo de Dios nos limpiará de todo pecado.

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

8 Si decimos que no tenemos pecado, estamos engañándonos a nosotros mismos y no tenemos la verdad.

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

9 Pero si confesamos a Dios nuestros pecados, él, que es fiel y justo, nos perdonará y nos limpiará de toda maldad.

10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

10 Si afirmamos que no hemos pecado, estamos diciendo que Dios es mentiroso, y eso muestra que su palabra no habita en nosotros.
