1 John 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Most beloved, do not be willing to believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are of God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.	1 Carissimi, nolite omni spiritui credere, sed probate spiritus si ex Deosint, quoniam multi pseudoprophetae prodierunt in mundum.
2 The Spirit of God may be known in this way. Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh is of God;	2 In hoc cognoscitisSpiritum Dei: omnis spiritus, qui confitetur Iesum Christum in carne venisse, exDeo est.
3 and every spirit who contradicts Jesus is not of God. And this one is the Antichrist, the one that you have heard is coming, and even now he is in the world.	3 Et omnis spiritus, qui non confitetur Iesum, ex Deo non est; et hocest antichristi, quod audistis quoniam venit, et nunc iam in mundo est.
4 Little sons, you are of God, and so you have overcome him. For he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.	4 Vos exDeo estis, filioli, et vicistis eos, quoniam maior est, qui in vobis est, quamqui in mundo.
5 They are of the world. Therefore, they speak about the world, and the world listens to them.	5 Ipsi ex mundo sunt; ideo ex mundo loquuntur, et mundus eosaudit.
6 We are of God. Whoever knows God, listens to us. Whoever is not of God, does not listen to us. In this way, we know the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.	6 Nos ex Deo sumus. Qui cognoscit Deum, audit nos; qui non est ex Deo,non audit nos. Ex hoc cognoscimus Spiritum veritatis et spiritum erroris.
7 Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.	7 Carissimi, diligamus invicem, quoniam caritas ex Deo est; et omnis, quidiligit, ex Deo natus est et cognoscit Deum.
8 Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.	8 Qui non diligit, non cognovitDeum, quoniam Deus caritas est.
9 The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.	9 In hoc apparuit caritas Dei in nobis, quoniamFilium suum unigenitum misit Deus in mundum, ut vivamus per eum.
10 In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.	10 In hoc estcaritas, non quasi nos dilexerimus Deum, sed quoniam ipse dilexit nos et misitFilium suum propitiationem pro peccatis nostris.
11 Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.	11 Carissimi, si sic Deus dilexit nos, et nos debemus alterutrum diligere.
12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.	12 Deum nemo vidit umquam; si diligamus invicem, Deus in nobis manet, et caritaseius in nobis consummata est.
13 In this way, we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he has given to us from his Spirit.	13 In hoc cognoscimus quoniam in ipso manemus, etipse in nobis, quoniam de Spiritu suo dedit nobis.
14 And we have seen, and we testify, that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.	14 Et nos vidimus ettestificamur quoniam Pater misit Filium salvatorem mundi.
15 Whoever has confessed that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.	15 Quisque confessusfuerit: “ Iesus est Filius Dei ”, Deus in ipso manet, et ipse in Deo.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. And he who abides in love, abides in God, and God in him.	16 Etnos, qui credidimus, novimus caritatem, quam habet Deus in nobis. Deus caritasest; et, qui manet in caritate, in Deo manet, et Deus in eo manet.
17 In this way, the love of God is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment. For as he is, so also are we, in this world.	17 In hoc consummata est caritas nobiscum, ut fiduciam habeamus in die iudicii;quia sicut ille est, et nos sumus in hoc mundo.
18 Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.	18 Timor non est in caritate,sed perfecta caritas foras mittit timorem, quoniam timor poenam habet; qui autemtimet, non est consummatus in caritate.
19 Therefore, let us love God, for God first loved us.	19 Nos diligimus, quoniam ipse prior dilexit nos.
20 If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?	20 Si quis dixerit: “ DiligoDeum ”, et fratrem suum oderit, mendax est; qui enim non diligit fratrem suum,quem videt, Deum, quem non videt, non potest diligere.
21 And this is the commandment that we have from God, that he who loves God must also love his brother.	21 Et hoc mandatumhabemus ab eo, ut, qui diligit Deum, diligat et fratrem suum.
