2. And that Life has been made manifest. And we have seen, and we testify, and we announce to you: the Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who appeared to us.
3. He whom we have seen and heard, we announce to you, so that you, too, may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4. And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full.
5. And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6. If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth.
