1 John 1:4

Read in context

1 John 1:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

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.

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

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.

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