1 John 1: Y'all listen up! This is about a guy named John who saw something that was totally real. He saw the Word of Life, which was there from the beginning. He saw it, and he's telling y'all about it so that y'all can experience joy and share it with others. He wants y'all to receive and share the message of life. The darkness can't stop it. Y'all gotta keep that in mind and be sure to keep on walking in the light. Don't be ashamed of the stuff y'all do, because if y'all confess it, God will forgive and cleanse y'all.
