The Word of Life

1 ^aThat which was from the beginning, ^bwhich we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning ^cthe word¹ of life— 2 the ^dlife was made ^emanifest, and we have seen it, and ^ftestify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was ^gwith the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our ^hfellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come ^oin the flesh is from God,

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may ^jknow him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. ^kHe is the ^ltrue God and eternal life.
