But we covet that, each one of you, be shewing forth the same diligence, unto the full assurance of the hope throughout:

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life, - And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age-abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said - It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: - The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, - whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: - Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, - to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins. read more.

Ye yourselves, know what hath come to pass throughout the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion which John proclaimed, respecting Jesus who was of Nazareth: - How God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the adversary, because, God, was with him. We also, are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the country of the Jews and Jerusalem; whom they even slew by suspending upon a tree; - read more.
The same, God raised up on the third day, and gave him to become, manifest, Not unto all the people, but unto witnesses who had been fore-appointed by God, unto us, who, indeed, did eat and drink with him after his rising from among the dead. And he charged us to proclaim unto the people, and bear full witness, that - This, is he that hath been marked out by God to be judge of living and dead. Unto the same, do all the prophets bear witness, That, remission of sins, is to be received through his name, by every one that believeth on him.

There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John: The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him. He, was not the light, - but, that he might bear witness concerning the light, read more.
It, was - The real light that enlighteneth every man - Coming into the world. In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not. Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home. But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, - unto them who were believing on his name: Who - not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but - of God, were born. And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, - a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth. (John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying - the same, was he that said - He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)

That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that heareth, my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath life age-abiding, and, into judgment, cometh not, but hath passed over, out of death into life.

For, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself; And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment, - because, Son of Man, is he!

And so, the Father who sent me, he, hath borne witness concerning me; Neither, a sound of him, at any time, have ye heard, nor, a form of him, have ye seen; And, his word, ye have not, within you abiding - because, as touching him whom, he, sent, in him, ye, believe not. Ye search the Scriptures, because, ye, think, by them, to have, life age-abiding; and, those Scriptures , are they which bear witness concerning me: And yet ye choose not to come unto me, that, life, ye may have.

How can, ye, believe, - Glory from one another, receiving; and, the glory which is from the only God, are not seeking? Do not think that, I, will accuse you unto the Father: There, is, who accuseth you, even, Moses, - on whom, ye, have set your hope.

These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; For, he to whom these things are not present, is, blind, seeing only what is near, having come, to forget, his purification from his old sins. Wherefore, all the more, brethren, give diligence to be making, firm, your calling and election; for, these things, doing, in nowise shall ye stumble at any time, For, thus, shall richly be further supplied unto you - the entrance into the age-abiding kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things, - although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth; Right, nevertheless, I account it - as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance, Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent - even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me: Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very things. For, not as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, of his majesty.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed, - and he shewed them by signs, sending through his messenger, unto his servant John; who bare witness as to the word of God, and the witness of Jesus Christ, - whatsoever things he saw.
