Conservative Friends Bible Study of 1 John #02 Chapter 1 Verses 5-10

Ohio Yearly Meeting's Podcast

#02 1 John 1:5-10

In 1John 1:5-10, Henry makes specific mention of foundational vocabulary.
These words are also foundational concepts in Quaker understanding. While
some nuances are explored in the podcast, there are too many to mention here.
Below are a few of the words/concepts that are discussed:

• “Message” (v. 5) “angelion” in Greek.
• “Light” (v. 5) is “phōs” in Greek which is the same root as in the English words photo, and photograph. God is Light, God is the spiritual illuminator, spiritual illumination.
• “Fellowship” (v. 6) in Greek is “koinōnia” - a sharing in something.
• “Walk” (v. 6) in Greek “peripateō” - to walk; also to behave, to conduct yourself.
• “Son” (v. 7): in Greek is “huios”.
• “Truth” (v. 8): in Greek is alētheia which also means “reality”.

The quote in our introduction is from George Fox’s sermon on Firbank Fell in 1652 as reported in Chapter six of his Journal.
