message
angelia is a communicated declaration heard and passed on, including what is said about God and the call to love one another.
The attested use presents a communicated declaration: in 1 John 1:5 it is heard from him and declared to others concerning God, while in 1 John 3:11 it is what the hearers received and introduces the call to love one another.

A declaration heard and communicated · dominant
In 1 John 1:5, the nominative singular form names what has been heard from him and declared to the readers; the APB renders the clause "this is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you." In 1 John 3:11, the same form introduces what the readers heard and the statement that they should love one another; the APB renders "this is the message that you heard from the beginning."
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across 1 John 1:5 and 1 John 3:11, the APB presents the relevant clause with "message." This reflects the clause-level presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
