1 John 1:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us:

³ That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁴ And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
