Iohannis I 5
1 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.
Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.
2 In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata eius faciamus.
In this we know that we love the children of God with divine love, when we love God with divine love and keep his commandments.
3 Haec est enim charitas Dei, ut mandata eius custodiamus: et mandata eius gravia non sunt.
For this is the divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:
4 Quoniam omne, quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et haec est victoria, quae vincit mundum, fides nostra.
because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.
5 Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Iesus est filius Dei?
Who is the one conquering the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 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.
He is the one having come through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood; the Spirit is the one who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in caelo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
Because there are three who are bearing witness,
8 Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: Spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt.
the Spirit and the water, and blood: and these three are one.
9 Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei maius est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod maius est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son.
10 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.
The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son.
11 Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam aeternam dedit nobis Deus. Et haec vita in Filio eius est. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the testimony, that God has given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Qui habet Filium Dei, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium Dei, vitam non habet.
The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.
13 Haec scribo vobis: ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis aeternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei. (aiōnios g166)
I have written these things unto you, in order that you may know that you have eternal life; to those who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Et haec est fiducia, quam habemus ad Deum: Quia quodcumque petierimus secundum voluntatem eius, audit nos.
And this is the assurance which we have toward him, that, if we may ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus: scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.
And if we know that he hears us as to whatsoever we may ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked from him.
16 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.
If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.
17 Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is sin not unto death.
18 Scimus quia omnis, qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat: sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum.
We know that every one who has been born of God, sins not; but the one having been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
19 Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.
20 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)
But we know that the Son of God has come and has given unto us intelligence, that we know the truth. And we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ; he is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
Little children, keep yourselves from the idols.
