\v 1 That which was from the beginning—which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have handled—concerning the Word of life.
\v 2 And the life was made known, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was made known to us.
\v 3 That which we have seen and heard we declare also to you, so you may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
