2 HLTTHB Hqingnaak ce dang hy; ningnih ing ni hu unawh ning dyih pyi uhy, nangmih a venawh kumqui hqingnaak awi ce kqawn law u nyng, cawhkaw awi cetaw Pa ing anik awm haih ce ningnih a venawh dang hawh hy. BSB BSB: And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
3 HLTTHB kaimih ing ka mi huh ingkaw ka ming zaak ce nangmih ing kaimih ing pawlnengnaak nami taak naak thai aham nangmih a venawh kqawn law patoe nyng. Kaimih a pawlnengnaak taw Khawsa ingkaw a capa Jesu Khrih awh ni. BSB BSB: We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

6 HLTTHB Amah ing pawlnengnaak ta hawh nyng ni ti hlai hy, than ak khuiawh ni ceh khing awhtaw, qaai ak kqawn na ni awm unawh awitak ing am ni hqing uhy. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

BSB BSB: But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

10 HLTTHB Am thawlh nyng ni ti mantaw, anih ce qaai ak kqawn na ni sai uawh ningnih a hqingnaak awh ak awi ce am awm hy. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
