1 John - Prima lettera di Giovanni 1

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Εκεινο, το οποιον ητο απ' αρχης, το οποιον ηκουσαμεν, το οποιον ειδομεν με τους οφθαλμους ημων, το οποιον εθεωρησαμεν και αι χειρες ημων εψηλαφησαν, περι του Λογου της ζωης?	1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life--
2 και η ζωη εφανερωθη, και ειδομεν και μαρτυρουμεν και απαγγελλομεν προς εσας την ζωην την αιωνιον, ητις ητο παρα τω Πατρι και εφανερωθη εις ημας	2 for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us--
3 εκεινο, το οποιον ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν, απαγγελλομεν προς εσας? δια να εχητε και σεις κοινωνιαν μεθ' ημων? και η κοινωνια δε ημων ειναι μετα του Πατρος και μετα του Υιου αυτου Ιησου Χριστου.	3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Και ταυτα γραφομεν προς εσας, δια να ηναι πληρης η χαρα σας.	4 We are writing this so that our joy may be complete.
5 Και αυτη ειναι η επαγγελια, την οποιαν ηκουσαμεν απ' αυτου και αναγγελλομεν προς εσας, οτι ο Θεος ειναι φως και σκοτια εν αυτω δεν υπαρχει ουδεμια.	5 Now this is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
6 Εαν ειπωμεν οτι κοινωνιαν εχομεν μετ' αυτου και περιπατωμεν εν τω σκοτει, ψευδομεθα και δεν πραττομεν την αληθειαν?	6 If we say, "We have fellowship with him," while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth.
7 εαν ομως περιπατωμεν εν τω φωτι, καθως αυτος ειναι εν τω φωτι, εχομεν κοινωνιαν μετ' αλληλων, και το αιμα του Ιησου Χριστου του Υιου αυτου καθαριζει ημας απο πασης αμαρτιας.	7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
8 Εαν ειπωμεν οτι αμαρτιαν δεν εχομεν, εαυτους πλανωμεν και η αληθεια δεν ειναι εν ημιν.	8 If we say, "We are without sin," we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Εαν ομολογωμεν τας αμαρτιας ημων, ειναι πιστος και δικαιος, ωστε να συγχωρηση εις ημας τας αμαρτιας και καθαριση ημας απο πασης αδικιας.	9 If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing.
10 Εαν ειπωμεν οτι δεν ημαρτησαμεν, ψευστην καμνομεν αυτον, και ο λογος αυτου δεν υπαρχει εν ημιν.	10 If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
