1 JOHN 1:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all — the theological axiom equates God with light (phōs) and denies any admixture of darkness (skotos). The message (apaggellian) from Jesus and proclaimed by John constitutes the entire epistle's foundation. The absolute negation (ouk estin . . . oudemia skotos) permits no moral or ontological dualism.
