what we have seen and heard, we declare unto you, that ye also may be of the same society with us: and truly associated with the father, and with his son Jesus Christ.

And we write the same things to you, in order that our joy may be full.

And the same message which we have heard from him, we also proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness.
