1 John 5
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him.
Omnis, qui credit, quoniam Iesus est Christus, ex Deo natus est. Et omnis, qui diligit eum qui genuit, diligit et eum qui natus est ex eo.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.
In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata eius faciamus.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,
Haec est enim charitas Dei, ut mandata eius custodiamus: et mandata eius gravia non sunt.
4 because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
Quoniam omne, quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et haec est victoria, quae vincit mundum, fides nostra.
5 Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Iesus est filius Dei?
6 This 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.
hic est, qui venit per aquam et sanguinem, Iesus Christus: non in aqua solum, sed in aqua et sanguine. Et spiritus est, qui testificatur, quoniam Christus est veritas.
7 For there are three that testify:
Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in caelo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.
Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: Spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt.
9 Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.
Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei maius est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod maius est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.
10 Whoever 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.
Qui 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.
11 And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. (aiōnios g166)
Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam aeternam dedit nobis Deus. Et haec vita in Filio eius est. (aiōnios g166)
12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Qui habet Filium Dei, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium Dei, vitam non habet.
13 I 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. (aiōnios g166)
Haec scribo vobis: ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis aeternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei. (aiōnios g166)
14 And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
Et haec est fiducia, quam habemus ad Deum: Quia quodcumque petierimus secundum voluntatem eius, audit nos.
15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.
Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus: scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.
16 If 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.
Qui 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.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.
Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem.
18 We 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.
Scimus quia omnis, qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat: sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum.
19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est.
20 And 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. (aiōnios g166)
Et scimus quoniam Filius Dei venit, et dedit nobis sensum ut cognoscamus verum Deum, et simus in vero Filio eius. Hic est verus Deus, et vita aeterna. (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
