Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
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.
1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him.
2In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata ejus faciamus.
2By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.
3Hæc est enim caritas Dei, ut mandata ejus custodiamus: et mandata ejus gravia non sunt.
3For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,
4Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et hæc est victoria, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra.
4because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
5Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Jesus est Filius Dei?
5Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
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.
6This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.
7Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
7For there are three that testify:
8Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt.
8the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.
9Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei majus est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod majus est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.
9Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about 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.
10Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.
11Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam æternam dedit nobis Deus: et hæc vita in Filio ejus est.
11And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12Qui habet Filium, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium, vitam non habet.
12Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13Hæc scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis æternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei.
13I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
14Et hæc est fiducia, quam habemus ad eum: quia quodcumque petierimus, secundum voluntatem ejus, audit nos.
14And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus: scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.
15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.
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.
16If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.
17Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem.
17All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.
18Scimus quia omnis qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat: sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum.
18We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him.
19Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est.
19We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
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.
20And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
21Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
