1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life--
Quod fuit ab initio, quod audivimus, quod vidimus oculis nostris, quod perspeximus, et manus nostræ contrectaverunt de verbo vitæ:
2 the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
et vita manifestata est, et vidimus, et testamur, et annunciamus vobis vitam æternam, quæ erat apud Patrem, et apparuit nobis: (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
quod vidimus et audivimus, annunciamus vobis, ut et vos societatem habeatis nobiscum, et societas nostra sit cum Patre, et cum Filio eius Iesu Christo.
4 And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
Et hæc scribimus vobis ut gaudeatis, et gaudium vestrum sit plenum.
5 This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.
Et hæc est annunciatio, quam audivimus ab eo, et annunciamus vobis: Quoniam Deus lux est, et tenebræ in eo non sunt ullæ.
6 If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
Si dixerimus quoniam societatem habemus cum eo, et in tenebris ambulamus, mentimur, et veritatem non facimus.
7 But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Si autem in luce ambulamus sicut et ipse est in luce, societatem habemus ad invicem, et sanguis Iesu Christi, Filii eius, emundat nos ab omni peccato.
8 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
Si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus, ipsi nos seducimus, et veritas in nobis non est.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Si confiteamur peccata nostra: fidelis est, et iustus, ut remittat nobis peccata nostra, et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate.
10 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
Si dixerimus quoniam non peccavimus: mendacem facimus eum, et verbum eius non est in nobis.
