"And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full. "
— 1 John 1:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.”
“and these things we write, that our joy may be made full. ”
“And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.”
“Thus we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.”
“And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice and your joy may be full.”
“And we are writing these things to you so that our joy may be made complete.”
“And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.”
He who was from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have seen with our eyes, upon whom we have gazed, and whom our hands have certainly touched: He is the Word of Life.
And that Life has been made manifest. And we have seen, and we testify, and we announce to you: the Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who appeared to us.
He whom we have seen and heard, we announce to you, so that you, too, may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full.
And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth.
But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
