Read 1 John 1.1-4 Prologue.
Themes borrowed from Jn 1.1-18 emphasize the humanity of Jesus.
In verse 1 Word of life: both message and person (Jn 1.1, 14).
In verse 2 life was revealed in the Word (see Jn 1.4); the Word dwells in and is the source of eternal life: see 2.25; 3.14-15; 5.11-13, 20; Jn 3.15.
In verse 3 fellowship, among believers, with the Father and the Son (see 1.6, 7; Jn 1.14-18; 3.16).
In verse 4 we are writing (see 2.1, 7, 8, 12-14, 21, 25; 5.13) shows a self-consciously literary work.
