요한1서 1장 1-2절

이 글은 생명의 말씀에 관한 것입니다. 이 생명의 말씀은 태초부터 계신 것이요, 우리가 들은 것이요, 우리가 눈으로 본 것이요, 우리가 지켜본 것이요, 우리가 손으로 만져본 것입니다. 이 생명이 나타나셨습니다. 우리는 그것을 보았습니다. 그래서 우리는 이 영원한 생명을 여러분에게 증언하고 선포합니다. 이 영원한 생명은 아버지와 함께 계셨는데, 우리에게 나타나셨습니다._ 새번역성경

初めからあったもの、わたしたちが 聞いたもの、目で 見たもの、よく 見て 手でさわったもの、すなわち、いのちの 言について このいのちが 現れたので、この 永遠のいのちをわたしたちは 見て、そのあかしをし、かつ、 あなたがたに 告げ 知らせるのである。この 永遠のいのちは、父と 共にいましたが、今やわたしたちに 現れたものである_ 口語訳

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life--
and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us_ NASB

From the very first day, we were there, taking it all in—we heard it with our own ears, saw it with our own eyes, verified it with our own hands. The Word of Life appeared right before our eyes; we saw it happen! And now we’re telling you in most sober prose that what we witnessed was, incredibly, this: The infinite Life of God himself took shape before us._ The Message
