Iohannis I 5
1 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
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one, that loveth Him that begat, loveth Him also that is begotten of Him:
2 in hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligimus natos Dei cum Deum diligamus et mandata eius faciamus
and in this we know that we love the children of God, since we love God and keep his commandments.
3 haec est enim caritas Dei ut mandata eius custodiamus et mandata eius gravia non sunt
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo vincit mundum et haec est victoria quae vincit mundum fides nostra
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that vanquisheth the world, even our faith.
5 quis est qui vincit mundum nisi qui credit quoniam Iesus est Filius Dei
Who then is he that overcometh the world, but he who believeth 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
This is He that came by water and by blood, even Jesus the Messiah; not with water only, but with water and blood: and of this the Spirit beareth witness, for the Spirit is truth.
7 quia tres sunt qui testimonium dant
Yea there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
8 Spiritus et aqua et sanguis et tres unum sunt
and these three agree in one.
9 si testimonium hominum accipimus testimonium Dei maius est quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei quod maius est quia testificatus est de Filio suo
Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: and this is the testimony of God, which He hath testified concerning his Son.
10 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
He, that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness in himself: he, that believeth not God, hath in effect made Him a liar, because he believed not the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
11 et hoc est testimonium quoniam vitam aeternam dedit nobis Deus et haec vita in Filio eius est (aiōnios g166)
And the testimony is this, that God hath given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 qui habet Filium habet vitam qui non habet Filium Dei vitam non habet
He that hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 haec scripsi vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis aeternam qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written to you, who believe on the name of the son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may the more firmly believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 et haec est fiducia quam habemus ad eum quia quodcumque petierimus secundum voluntatem eius audit nos
And this is the confidence, which we have towards Him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, He heareth us:
15 et scimus quoniam audit nos quicquid petierimus scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulavimus ab eo
and if we know that He heareth us in whatsoever we ask; we know that we shall have the petitions, which we have requested of Him.
16 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
If any one see his brother commit a sin which is not unto death, let him pray for him, and God will give him life, that is for them that do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death: and for that I do not say that he should pray.
17 omnis iniquitas peccatum est et est peccatum non ad mortem
All unrighteousness indeed is sin, and yet there is a sin not unto death.
18 scimus quoniam omnis qui natus est ex Deo non peccat sed generatio Dei conservat eum et malignus non tangit eum
We know that whosoever is born of God, doth not practise sin: but keepeth himself from it, and the wicked one doth 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 lieth under the wicked 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 is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and in his son Jesus Christ: He is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 filioli custodite vos a simulacris
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
