1 John

I.	1. What was from the beginning,

A.	what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands

1.	concerning the Word of Life

(just mentions their observation/fellowship)

II.	2. and the Life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you

1.	The Eternal Life

(mentions now both observation/fellowship and their proclamation)

summary

III.	which was with the Father

A.	and was manifested to us

(mentions the beginning and the manifestation)

IV.	What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also,

A.	so that indeed you may have fellowship with us

1.	and indeed our fellowship is with the Father

B.	and with His Son Jesus Christ

(purpose of the proclamation)

A lot of "I am writing"s

V.	4. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

A.	5. This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

1.	6. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and yet walk in the darkness, we (both) lie and do not practice the truth

a.	7. If we walk in light, as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin

(1)	8. If we say we have no sin we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us

(a)	9. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

i)	If we say we have not sinned we make Him a liar

VI.	I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin

A.	But if anyone does, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous

1.	He is the propitiation for our sins and those of whole world

2.
