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 LYN Esi tu na mono nesi tu na yupu so kame eso tu myambela, mi cwale naanyi muku wane naaci. Mi okuwana kwetu ni Sitetu kame tuli ni ku mwanaye Jesu Kilesite. 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.
