Iohannis I 1
1 quod fuit ab initio quod audivimus quod vidimus oculis nostris quod perspeximus et manus nostrae temptaverunt de verbo vitae
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life —
2 et vita manifestata est et vidimus et testamur et adnuntiamus vobis vitam aeternam quae erat apud Patrem et apparuit nobis (aiōnios g166)
and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us — (aiōnios g166)
3 quod vidimus et audivimus adnuntiamus et vobis ut et vos societatem habeatis nobiscum et societas nostra sit cum Patre et cum Filio eius Iesu Christo
that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;
4 et haec scribimus vobis ut gaudium nostrum sit plenum
and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
5 et haec est adnuntiatio quam audivimus ab eo et adnuntiamus vobis quoniam Deus lux est et tenebrae in eo non sunt ullae
And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all;
6 si dixerimus quoniam societatem habemus cum eo et in tenebris ambulamus mentimur et non facimus veritatem
if we may say — 'we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk — we lie, and do not the truth;
7 si autem in luce ambulemus sicut et ipse est in luce societatem habemus ad invicem et sanguis Iesu Filii eius mundat nos ab omni peccato
and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light — we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;
8 si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus ipsi nos seducimus et veritas in nobis non est
if we may say — 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;
9 si confiteamur peccata nostra fidelis est et iustus ut remittat nobis peccata et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate
if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
10 si dixerimus quoniam non peccavimus mendacem facimus eum et verbum eius non est in nobis
if we may say — 'we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
