1 Juan 1:1

Kung ano ang nangyari sa simula pa, kung ano ang aming narinig, kung ano ang nakita ng aming mga mata, kung ano ang aming nakita at hinawakan ng aming mga kamay, tungkol sa Salita ng Buhay—

(a) Mula sa simula. John was with Jesus from the beginning of his ministry (Matt. 4:21). He was one of the Lord’s closest friends.

The “from the beginning” phrase appears seven times in John’s first epistle and twice in his second epistle. John has at least three beginnings in mind. Here in 1 John 1:1 “the beginning” refers to the beginning of John’s experience with Jesus. Elsewhere “the beginning” refers to the first time you heard about Jesus or his message (1 John 2:7, 24, 3:11, 2 John 1:5, 6). And sometimes “the beginning” refers to the beginning of time (1 John 2:13–14, 3:8).

(b) Kung ano ang aming narinig, kung ano ang aming nakita... kung ano ang aming tiningnan. John is establishing his bona fides as a witness of what he is about to discuss, namely the good news of Jesus Christ. John heard and saw the Lord’s ministry. He witnessed his death, resurrection, and glorious ascension. Unlike the many false prophets who have gone out preaching a false message (1 John 4:1), John is a credible witness. He was there.

(c) Kung ano ang nahawakan natin. John was part of a small group of people who physically touched the Risen Lord (Luke 24:39). John is refuting the Gnostic view that the material world was evil and a spiritual God would have nothing to do with it. Jesus was fully human. He had a physical body. Anyone who said Jesus was not from God or had not come in the flesh was a deceiver and an antichrist (1 John 4:3, 2 John 1:7).

(d) Ang Salita ng Buhay is the Word of God and the Word made flesh (John 1:1, 14). Jesus is the Word or the Message or the Revelation of God (Rev. 19:13). Just as we reveal ourselves by what we say, God reveals himself in Jesus (Heb. 1:3).

1 Juan 1:2

at ang buhay ay nahayag, at aming nakita at pinatotohanan at ipinahayag sa inyo ang buhay na walang hanggan, na kasama ng Ama at nahayag sa amin—

(a) Naipakita. Si Jesus, na dati nang kasama ng Diyos sa langit, ay “nahayag sa atin” sa lupa. Sa madaling salita, "Si Hesus, ang Salita ng Buhay ay nagpakita, at narinig namin siya (mga apostol) at nakita namin siya ng aming sariling mga tainga at mata."

(b) Buhay na walang hanggan is not merely endless life; eternal life is divine life. It is Christ’s glorious life as opposed to the broken short-lived disease-ridden life we inherited from Adam. Eternal life is not something we receive in the future, but something we can have now (1 John 5:13). And where do we find this life? “This life is in the Son” (1 John 5:11). He who has the Son has life (1 John 5:12). Throughout John’s writings, Jesus is synonymous with eternal life (1 John 5:20). You can’t have one without the other.

Tingnan mo pagpasok para sa Bagong Buhay.

(c) Ang tatay. God is not just the Maker of heaven and earth; he is the Father of the Son and all who believe (1 John 2:1). “God is our Father.” This was a stunning revelation when Jesus first said it, but John bought into it completely. More than a dozen times in this short epistle he reminds us that the Almighty is our Father.

1 Juan 1:3

ang aming nakita at narinig ay ipinahahayag din namin sa inyo, upang kayo rin ay magkaroon ng pakikisama sa amin; at tunay na ang ating pakikisama ay sa Ama, at sa Kanyang Anak na si Jesucristo.

(a) Ang aming nakita at narinig ay ipinahahayag namin sa iyo. Hindi mo kailangan ng degree o taon ng pag-aaral para maging saksi para kay Jesus. Ang kailangan mo lang ay sabihin sa iba ang iyong nakita at narinig. Sabihin sa kanila kung ano ang ginawa ng Panginoon para sa iyo.

(b) Upang kayo rin ay magkaroon ng pakikisama. In these opening verses, John is addressing a general audience that includes unbelievers who are walking in darkness (1 John 1:6) and who do not have the truth in them (1 John 1:8). He writes so that they may come to the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. He is saying, “Get plugged into Jesus because that’s where the life is” (1 John 4:9).

(c) pakikisama (koinonia) literal na nangangahulugang pakikipagtulungan o pakikilahok. Ito ay isang salita na naglalarawan sa buhay na namuhay sa espirituwal na pagkakaisa sa Panginoon at sa isa't isa. Hindi ka ginawa para mag-isa. Idinisenyo ka upang mamuhay sa labas ng iyong koneksyon sa May-akda ng Buhay. Sa pamamagitan ng mga taong tulad ni Juan, inaanyayahan tayong lahat ng Diyos na lumapit sa kanya upang maging buo at makibahagi sa kanyang pinagpalang buhay.

When Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches,” he was giving us the secret for abundant life (John 15:5). Real life is found in living out of our connection with the Author of Life. In union with the Lord we experience the freedom to know and be known, to give and receive, to love and be loved.

(d) Samahan tayo higit pa sa pagpunta sa simbahan. Koinonia-fellowship is about living fully out of our connection with Christ and his body. It’s the authentic sense of community that comes from having our hearts knitted together in love (Col. 2:2).

(e) Pakikipagkapwa sa Ama at Anak nagdudulot ng pagtanggap, pagpapalagayang-loob, katuwiran, kabanalan ng buhay na walang hanggan, at lahat ng mga pagpapala at mga pribilehiyo ng langit. Ang mga kaisa ng Panginoon ay hindi nagkukulang ng mabuting bagay.

Karagdagang pagbabasa: "Ang daming benepisyo ng unyon.”

1 Juan 1:4

Ang mga bagay na ito ay isinusulat namin, upang ang aming kagalakan ay maging ganap.

(a) Ang mga bagay na ito ay isinusulat namin. Sumulat si Juan ng hindi bababa sa tatlong sulat, isang Ebanghelyo, at Aklat ng Pahayag.

(b) Ang aming kagalakan. Noong unang panahon, si John ay isang mangingisda. Pagkatapos ay nakilala niya si Jesus at naging mangingisda ng mga tao. Kung paanong ang kagalakan ng mangingisda ay makahuli ng isda, ang kagalakan ni Juan ay ang makakuha ng mga kaluluwa para kay Jesus.

But John was not just a catcher of fish; he was also a mender of nets, and this is what he was doing when Jesus first met him (Matt. 4:21). John’s joy was to mend the church nets, so to speak, to ensure that those who heard the gospel would not be lured away by false prophets and deceivers (1 John 4:1). This is why he rejoiced to see his spiritual children walking in the truth (3 John 1:4).

1 Juan 1:5

Ito ang mensaheng aming narinig mula sa Kanya at ipinapahayag namin sa inyo, na ang Diyos ay Liwanag, at sa Kanya ay walang anumang kadiliman.

(a) Ang mensahe narinig namin mula sa kanya. Ang mensahe ni Juan ay galing mismo kay Hesus. Hindi ito isang bagay na inimbento niya o narinig ng pangalawang kamay.

(b) Ipahayag sa iyo. Ang ebanghelyo ay hindi isang patalastas sa trabaho kundi isang anunsyo.

(c) Ang Diyos ay Liwanag. The shadowless God is good to you all the time. His face is always shining upon you in love. He loves you so much that he sent his Son to rescue you (1 John 4:10).

(d) Sa kanya ay walang kadiliman. God does not bring darkness into your life for a season. He will never take your job or your kids or give you sickness. Everything he does and gives is good and perfect (Jas. 1:17).

(e) Kadiliman ay isang metapora para sa kasamaan at kasalanan at anumang bagay na hindi ginalaw ng Liwanag ng Mundo. Saanmang lugar na hindi naririnig ang mabuting balita ni Jesus ay nananatili sa kadiliman.

1 Juan 1:6

Kung sinasabi natin na tayo'y may pakikisama sa Kanya at gayon ma'y lumalakad sa kadiliman, tayo'y nagsisinungaling at hindi nagsisigawa ng katotohanan;

(a) Kung sasabihin natin. We may tell ourselves all sorts of things, but the beliefs and intentions of our hearts are revealed by what we do (1 John 2:4, 9).

(b) May fellowship tayo; tingnan mo pagpasok for 1 John 1:3.

(c) Upang lumakad sa dilim is to reject the light and love of God. It’s refusing to trust in the Savior. It’s pretending we are fine and have no need of grace (1 John 1:8). It’s living for yourself and having no love for others (1 John 2:9).

(d) Nagsisinungaling kami. Ang mga lumalakad sa kadiliman habang sinasabing kilala nila ang Isa na liwanag ay dinadaya ang kanilang sarili. Maaaring isipin nila na sila ay mabubuting tao, ngunit kung hindi nila alam ang pag-ibig ng Ama ay nawala sila.

(e) Huwag isagawa ang katotohanan. They do not abide in the grace of Jesus. John is not talking about believers who know the truth (1 John 2:21), but those who do not know Jesus.

---

1 Juan 1:7

Ngunit kung tayo'y lumalakad sa Liwanag na gaya Niya na nasa Liwanag, tayo ay may pakikisama sa isa't isa, at nililinis tayo ng dugo ni Jesus na Kanyang Anak sa lahat ng kasalanan.

(a) Kung tayo ay lalakad sa liwanag. Only those who know the Light of the world can walk in the light. “Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness” (John 8:12). Just as the sun does not shine at night, the believer cannot walk in darkness.

Hindi sinasabi ni John na maaari tayong gumawa ng ilaw. Sinasabi niya na mayroong dalawang uri ng tao; yaong lumalakad sa liwanag (sapagkat mayroon silang liwanag ng buhay) at yaong wala (dahil wala silang pakikisama sa Diyos na liwanag; tingnan ang talata 5).

(b) Mayroon kaming pakikisama sa isa't isa. Ang ilan ay nagsasabi na kailangan nating lumakad nang tama upang mapanatili ang pakikisama sa Panginoon, ngunit si Juan ay nagsasalita tungkol sa ating pagsasama o relasyon sa isa't isa. Ang tunay na koneksyon ay posible lamang kapag mahal natin ang isa't isa ng walang kondisyong pag-ibig na ipinakita sa atin ni Kristo.

(c) Ang dugo ni Hesus. Hindi ka pinatawad o nilinis dahil tama ang lakad mo o sinusuri ang iyong mga kasalanan at pagkukulang. Malinis ka dahil nililinis ka ng dugo ni Hesus at patuloy kang nililinis.

(d) Nililinis tayo sa lahat ng kasalanan. Walang pananampalatayang isipin na nililinis tayo ng dugo ni Jesus mula sa ilang kasalanan lamang. "Iniligtas ako ni Jesus, ngunit ngayon ay nasa akin na ang aking kaligtasan." Ang ibig sabihin ng lahat ng kasalanan lahat ng kasalanan, nakaraan, kasalukuyan, at hinaharap. Walang kasalanang hindi dinala ni Hesus.

When you sin, don’t heed the voice of condemnation; listen to Jesus who speaks for you (1 John 2:1). When you are reminded of something you did, remember what Jesus did. When the accuser points to your faults, point to Jesus by whose blood you have been washed whiter than snow (Rev. 12:11). His blood has secured your eternal redemption (Heb. 9:12).

---

1 Juan 1:8

Kung sinasabi nating wala tayong kasalanan, dinadaya natin ang ating sarili at wala sa atin ang katotohanan.

(a) Kung sasabihin nating wala tayong kasalanan. Self-righteous people have convinced themselves they have no sin. “I’m basically a good person.” They are deceiving themselves, for the truth is we all fall short and none of us is righteous (Rom. 3:10, 23). We all need God’s grace.

Bagaman ang mga turo ng unang-siglong Gnosticism ay isang usapin ng haka-haka, malamang na ang mga Gnostic ay kabilang sa mga nag-aangking walang kasalanan.

(b) Ang katotohanan is another name for Jesus (John 14:6). It’s also a name for God the Father (1 John 5:20) and God the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:6) Truth is not a manmade construct but is defined by the One who is truth personified. Both grace and truth are fully realized in Jesus (John 1:17).

(c) Ang katotohanan ay wala sa atin. Unbelievers are living in a false reality for their lives are disconnected from the One called Truth. John is not talking about Christians going through a bad patch, for the truth abides in us forever (2 John 1:2).

Kapag nagbabasa ng Bibliya, mahalagang kilalanin ang mga tagapakinig. Ang liham ni John ay kumalat na sana. Narinig sana ito ng lahat ng uri ng tao. Dito sa unang kabanata, si Juan ay nagsasalita sa mga taong nahiwalay kay Kristo (talata 3), lumalakad sa kadiliman (talata 6) at walang katotohanan sa kanila (talata 8). Kahit na gumagamit siya ng mga salitang tulad natin at tayo, inaanyayahan niya ang mga hindi mananampalataya na manampalataya sa Diyos. Sa simula ng susunod na kabanata, ililipat niya ang kanyang atensyon sa mga mananampalataya o sa mga anak ng Diyos.

1 Juan 1:9

Kung ipinahahayag natin ang ating mga kasalanan, Siya ay tapat at matuwid na patawarin tayo sa ating mga kasalanan at lilinisin tayo sa lahat ng kalikuan.

(a) Kung ipagtatapat natin ang ating mga kasalanan does not mean going to confession or reviewing our sins one by one in the hope of meriting forgiveness, for that would be tantamount to preaching salvation by works, and dead works at that. We are not saved by confessing sins but by confessing Jesus is Lord (Rom. 10:9).

Ang ibig sabihin ng salitang umamin ay sumang-ayon o sabihin ang parehong bagay sa iba. Sa konteksto ito ay upang tanggapin na "Ako ay isang makasalanan," na siyang kabaligtaran sa "Wala akong kasalanan" ng naunang talata. Ang tanging kondisyon para sa pagtanggap ng kapatawaran at biyaya ng Diyos ay ang aminin ang iyong pangangailangan para dito. Humingi ka at ikaw ay makakatanggap.

Remember, John is speaking about people who are disconnected from God. They have no fellowship with the Father or the Son (1 John 1:3). They have not received the free gift of forgiveness because they don’t believe they need it (1 John 1:8). Having told them the bad news—“you are deceiving yourselves”—he now tells them the good news: “Admit your need for forgiveness and you shall have it!” And how many times do we need to do this? Once is enough. The moment we confess our need for Jesus we are cleansed from all unrighteousness.

Ang pagpapatawad ay hindi isang bagay na kikitain natin sa pamamagitan ng ating mga gawa ng pagtatapat; ito ay isang kaloob na natatanggap natin sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya (tingnan pagpasok for Acts 13:38). In Christ, we have the forgiveness of sins (Col. 1:14). In him, you are completely and eternally forgiven according to the riches of his grace (Eph. 1:7).

Nakalulungkot, inaagaw ng ilan ang talatang ito para hatulan ang mga tinubos ni Kristo. Sinasabi nila ang mga bagay tulad ng "Kailangan mong aminin ang iyong mga kasalanan upang manatiling pinatawad o mapanatili ang pakikisama sa Panginoon." Ito ang dahilan kung bakit kailangan nating basahin ang lahat ng sinasabi ni Juan. Ikaw ay nalinis mula sa lahat ng kasalanan by the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7). You have been 100% forgiven on “account of his name” (1 John 2:12). Jesus has done it all!

Tingnan mo pagpasok para sa Kumpisal.

(b) Siya ay tapat at matuwid na patawarin tayo sa ating mga kasalanan. God does not forgive us because we are good, but because he is good. He is the faithful and righteous One who loves us in our sin (1 John 2:2) and sends his Son to save us (1 John 4:14). Forgiveness is a done deal—Jesus will never return to the cross—but you will never experience God’s forgiveness unless you receive it by faith.

(c) At upang linisin tayo sa lahat ng kalikuan. Ang ibig sabihin ng lahat ay lahat. Ang mensahe ni Juan ay isa ng ganap at ganap na pagpapatawad.

Some use the words of 1 John 1:9 to preach dead works, as in we must confess to make ourselves righteous. That is not what John is saying. Jesus is the Righteous One (1 John 2:1) and it is his righteousness that God freely offers us by grace (Rom. 1:17). The good news of 1 John 1:9 is that God’s grace is greater than your worst sin. The blood of Jesus cleanses you from lahat kalikuan.

Some also say that we must confess our sins and keep short accounts to maintain fellowship with the Lord. John says nothing of the kind here (or anywhere). While being open and honest about our mistakes is healthy in any relationship, God’s love is not for sale, and his fellowship is not purchased through confession. God has promised to never leave you or forsake you (Heb. 13:5). His Spirit or truth abides with you forever (John 14:16, 2 John 1:2).

1 Juan 1:10

Kung sinasabi nating hindi tayo nagkasala, ginagawa nating sinungaling Siya at wala sa atin ang Kanyang salita.

(a) Kung sasabihin natin. Si Juan ay hindi nagsasalita tungkol sa mga Kristiyano kundi mga makasarili na hindi mananampalataya na nag-iisip na sila ay walang kasalanan. "Ako ay karaniwang isang mabuting tao." Inuulit niya ang sinabi niya sa bersikulo 8, ngunit may isang mahalagang karagdagan…

(b) Ginagawa namin siyang sinungaling. Someone who says, “I have no need of grace” is essentially calling God a liar (1 John 5:10). They are blaspheming or slandering the Holy Spirit who seeks to convince them of their need for Jesus (Matt. 12:32). They put themselves beyond help because they don’t want help.

(c) Ang Kanyang salita ay wala sa atin. Jesus is the Word of God and the Word of Life who gives meaning to life (1 John 1:1, 2:14). Jesus is the word (verse 10), the truth (verse 8), the light (verse 5) and the life (verse 1) that unbelievers lack.
