I Ioannis 1

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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 touched with our hands, concerning the word of life--
2 — et vitaapparuit, et vidimus et testamur et annuntiamus vobis vitam aeternam, quae eratcoram Patre et apparuit nobis —	2 the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest 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 heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Et haec scribimus nos, ut gaudiumnostrum sit plenum.	4 And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.
5 Et haec est annuntiatio, quam audivimus ab eo etannuntiamus vobis, quoniam Deus lux est, et tenebrae in eo non sunt ullae.	5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Si dixerimus quoniam communionem habemus cum eo, et in tenebris ambulamus,mentimur et non facimus veritatem;	6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to 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 is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus, nosmetipsos seducimus, et veritasin nobis non est.	8 If we say 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, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Si dixerimusquoniam non peccavimus, mendacem facimus eum, et verbum eius non est in nobis.	10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
