1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born from God, and whoever loves a father also loves the child born from him.
Omnis 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.
2 Because of this we know that we love God's children, when we love God and do his commandments.
In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata ejus faciamus.
3 For this is love for God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
Hæc est enim caritas Dei, ut mandata ejus custodiamus: et mandata ejus gravia non sunt.
4 For everyone who is born from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et hæc est victoria, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra.
5 Who is the one who overcomes the world? The one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Jesus est Filius Dei?
6 This is the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. He came not only by water, but also by water and blood.
Hic 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.
7 For there are three who bear witness:
Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three are in agreement.
Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For the testimony of God is this, that he has borne witness concerning his Son.
Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei majus est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod majus est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.
10 Anyone who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the witness that God has given concerning 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.
Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam æternam dedit nobis Deus: et hæc vita in Filio ejus est. (aiōnios g166)
12 The one who has the Son has life. The one who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Qui habet Filium, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium, vitam non habet.
13 I have written to you these things so that you will know that you have eternal life—to you who believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
Hæc scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis æternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei. (aiōnios g166)
14 Also, this is the confidence we have before him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
Et hæc est fiducia, quam habemus ad eum: quia quodcumque petierimus, secundum voluntatem ejus, audit nos.
15 Also, if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask of him—we know that we have whatever 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 commit a sin that does not result in death, he must pray, and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not result in death. There is a sin that results in death; I am not saying that he should pray about that.
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, but there is sin that does not result in death.
Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem.
18 We know that whoever is born from God does not sin. But the one who was born from God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm 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 from God, and we know that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est.
20 But we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. Also, we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one 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 ejus. Hic est verus Deus, et vita æterna. (aiōnios g166)
21 Children, keep yourselves from idols.
Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
