(and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us);

(And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us);

και η ζωη εφανερωθη, και ειδομεν και μαρτυρουμεν και απαγγελλομεν προς εσας την ζωην την αιωνιον, ητις ητο παρα τω Πατρι και εφανερωθη εις ημας

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
