Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Quod fuit ab initio, quod audivimus, quod vidimus oculis nostris, quod perspeximus, et manus nostræ contrectaverunt de verbo vitæ:
1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life:
2et vita manifestata est, et vidimus, et testamur, et annuntiamus vobis vitam æternam, quæ erat apud Patrem, et apparuit nobis:
2For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us:
3quod vidimus et audivimus, annuntiamus vobis, ut et vos societatem habeatis nobiscum, et societas nostra sit cum Patre, et cum Filio ejus Jesu Christo.
3That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4Et hæc scribimus vobis ut gaudeatis, et gaudium vestrum sit plenum.
4And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
5Et hæc est annuntiatio, quam audivimus ab eo, et annuntiamus vobis: quoniam Deus lux est, et tenebræ in eo non sunt ullæ.
5And this is the declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6Si dixerimus quoniam societatem habemus cum eo, et in tenebris ambulamus, mentimur, et veritatem non facimus.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
7Si autem in luce ambulamus sicut et ipse est in luce, societatem habemus ad invicem, et sanguis Jesu Christi, Filii ejus, emundat nos ab omni peccato.
7But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8Si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus, ipsi nos seducimus, et veritas in nobis non est.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9Si confiteamur peccata nostra: fidelis est, et justus, ut remittat nobis peccata nostra, et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
10Si dixerimus quoniam non peccavimus, mendacem facimus eum, et verbum ejus non est in nobis.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
