1 John 1
1 John chapter 1 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 If we seien, that we han felawschip with hym, and we wandren in derknessis, we lien, and don not treuthe. 2 But if we walken in liyt, as also he is in liyt, we han felawschip togidere; and the blood of Jhesu Crist, his sone, clensith vs fro al synne. 3 If we seien, that we han no synne, we disseyuen vs silf, and treuthe is not in vs. 4 If we knowlechen oure synnes, he is feithful and iust, that he foryyue to vs oure synnes, and clense vs from al wickidnesse. 5 And if we seien, we han not synned, we maken hym a liere, and his word is not in vs. 7 Mi litle sones, Y write to you these thingis, that ye synnen not. But if ony man synneth, we han an aduocat anentis the fadir, 8 Jhesu Crist, and he is the foryyuenes for oure synnes; and not oneli for oure synnes, but also for the synnes of al the world. 9 And in this thing we witen, that we knowen hym, if we kepen hise comaundementis. 10 He that seith that he knowith God, and kepith not hise comaundementis, is a liere, and trewthe is not in hym.
