< 1 John 5 >
1 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.
omnis qui credit quoniam Iesus est Christus ex Deo natus est et omnis qui diligit eum qui genuit diligit eum qui natus est ex eo
2 The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.
in hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligimus natos Dei cum Deum diligamus et mandata eius faciamus
3 Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands are not irksome.
haec est enim caritas Dei ut mandata eius custodiamus et mandata eius gravia non sunt
4 For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.
quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo vincit mundum et haec est victoria quae vincit mundum fides nostra
5 Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?
quis est qui vincit mundum nisi qui credit quoniam Iesus est Filius Dei
6 Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who gives testimony-- 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 give testimony-- the Spirit, the water, and the blood;
quia tres sunt qui testimonium dant
8 and there is complete agreement between these three.
Spiritus et aqua et sanguis et tres unum sunt
9 If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.
si testimonium hominum accipimus testimonium Dei maius est quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei quod maius est quia testificatus est de Filio suo
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.
qui credit in Filio Dei habet testimonium Dei in se qui non credit Filio mendacem facit eum quoniam non credidit in testimonio quod testificatus est Deus de Filio suo
11 And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son. (aiōnios )
et hoc est testimonium quoniam vitam aeternam dedit nobis Deus et haec vita in Filio eius est (aiōnios )
12 He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life.
qui habet Filium habet vitam qui non habet Filium Dei vitam non habet
13 I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios )
haec scripsi vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis aeternam qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei (aiōnios )
14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.
et haec est fiducia quam habemus ad eum quia quodcumque petierimus secundum voluntatem eius audit nos
15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
et scimus quoniam audit nos quicquid petierimus scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulavimus ab eo
16 If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life--for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.
qui scit fratrem suum peccare peccatum non ad mortem petet et dabit ei vitam peccantibus non ad mortem est peccatum ad mortem non pro illo dico ut roget
17 Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is not unto death.
omnis iniquitas peccatum est et est peccatum non ad mortem
18 We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.
scimus quoniam omnis qui natus est ex Deo non peccat sed generatio Dei conservat eum et malignus non tangit eum
19 We know that we are children of God, and 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 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One--that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios )
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 )
21 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols.
filioli custodite vos a simulacris
