Prima lettera di Giovanni 1

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Quod fuit ab initio, quod audi vimus, quod vidimus oculis no stris, quodperspeximus, et manus nostrae contrectaverunt de verbo vitae	1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life:
2 — et vitaapparuit, et vidimus et testamur et annuntiamus vobis vitam aeternam, quae eratcoram Patre et apparuit nobis —	2 For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us:
3 quod vidimus et audivimus, annuntiamus etvobis, ut et vos communionem habeatis nobiscum. Communio autem nostra est cumPatre et cum Filio eius Iesu Christo.	3 That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Et haec scribimus nos, ut gaudiumnostrum sit plenum.	4 And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
5 Et haec est annuntiatio, quam audivimus ab eo etannuntiamus vobis, quoniam Deus lux est, et tenebrae in eo non sunt ullae.	5 And this is the declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6 Si dixerimus quoniam communionem habemus cum eo, et in tenebris ambulamus,mentimur et non facimus veritatem;	6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
7 si autem in luce ambulemus, sicut ipse estin luce, communionem habemus ad invicem, et sanguis Iesu Filii eius mundat nosab omni peccato.	7 But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus, nosmetipsos seducimus, et veritasin nobis non est.	8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Si confiteamur peccata nostra, fidelis est et iustus, utremittat nobis peccata et emundet nos ab omni iniustitia.	9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
10 Si dixerimusquoniam non peccavimus, mendacem facimus eum, et verbum eius non est in nobis.	10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
