What was from the beginning,
what we have heard,
what we have seen with our eyes,
what we have looked at
and touched with our hands,
concerning the Word of Life ~
and the life was revealed,
and we have seen and testify
and proclaim to you the eternal life,
which was with the Father
and was revealed to us ~
what we have seen and heard
we proclaim to you also,
so that you too may have
fellowship with us;
and indeed our fellowship
is with the Father,
and with His Son Jesus Christ.
These things we write,
so that your joy
may be made complete.
~ 1 John 1:1-4
