Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English 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.
1Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is 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 loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
4Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et hæc est victoria, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra.
4For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
5Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Jesus est Filius Dei?
5Who is he who overcomes the world, but 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 he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, 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 who 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 the three agree as one.
9Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei majus est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod majus est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.
9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning 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.
10He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
11Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam æternam dedit nobis Deus: et hæc vita in Filio ejus est.
11The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12Qui habet Filium, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium, vitam non habet.
12He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
13Hæc scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis æternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei.
13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
14Et hæc est fiducia, quam habemus ad eum: quia quodcumque petierimus, secundum voluntatem ejus, audit nos.
14This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
15Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus: scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.
15And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which 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 sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.
17Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem.
17All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading 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 whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.
19Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est.
19We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in 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.
20We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
21Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
