Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.
1Omnis qui credit quoniam Jesus est Christus, ex Deo natus est. Et omnis qui diligit eum qui genuit, diligit et eum qui natus est ex eo.
2In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.
2In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata ejus faciamus.
3For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.
3Hæc est enim caritas Dei, ut mandata ejus custodiamus: et mandata ejus gravia non sunt.
4For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.
4Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et hæc est victoria, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra.
5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
5Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Jesus est Filius Dei?
6This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth.
6Hic est, qui venit per aquam et sanguinem, Jesus Christus: non in aqua solum, sed in aqua et sanguine. Et Spiritus est, qui testificatur quoniam Christus est veritas.
7And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.
7Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
8And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.
8Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt.
9If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.
9Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei majus est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod majus est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.
10He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
10Qui credit in Filium Dei, habet testimonium Dei in se. Qui non credit Filio, mendacem facit eum: quia non credit in testimonium quod testificatus est Deus de Filio suo.
11And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son.
11Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam æternam dedit nobis Deus: et hæc vita in Filio ejus est.
12He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life.
12Qui habet Filium, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium, vitam non habet.
13These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
13Hæc scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis æternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei.
14And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us.
14Et hæc est fiducia, quam habemus ad eum: quia quodcumque petierimus, secundum voluntatem ejus, audit nos.
15And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.
15Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus: scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.
16He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
16Qui scit fratrem suum peccare peccatum non ad mortem, petat, et dabitur ei vita peccanti non ad mortem. Est peccatum ad mortem: non pro illo dico ut roget quis.
17All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.
17Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem.
18We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
18Scimus quia omnis qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat: sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum.
19We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness.
19Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est.
20And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal.
20Et scimus quoniam Filius Dei venit, et dedit nobis sensum ut cognoscamus verum Deum, et simus in vero Filio ejus. Hic est verus Deus, et vita æterna.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
21Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
