Prima lettera di Giovanni 2

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Filioli mei, haec scribo vobis, ut non peccetis. Sed si quis pecca verit,advocatum habemus ad Patrem, Iesum Christum iustum;	1 My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
2 et ipse est propitiatiopro peccatis nostris, non pro nostris autem tantum sed etiam pro totius mundi.	2 He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.
3 Et in hoc cognoscimus quoniam novimus eum: si mandata eius servemus.	3 The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his command ments.
4 Quidicit: “ Novi eum ”, et mandata eius non servat, mendax est, et in istoveritas non est;	4 Whoever says, "I know him," but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 qui autem servat verbum eius, vere in hoc caritas Deiconsummata est. In hoc cognoscimus quoniam in ipso sumus.	5 But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him. This is the way we may know that we are in union with him:
6 Qui dicit se in ipsomanere, debet, sicut ille ambulavit, et ipse ambulare.	6 whoever claims to abide in him ought to live (just) as he lived.
7 Carissimi, non mandatum novum scribo vobis sed mandatum vetus, quod habuistisab initio: mandatum vetus est verbum, quod audistis.	7 Beloved, I am writing no new commandment to you but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.
8 Verumtamen mandatum novumscribo vobis, quod est verum in ipso et in vobis, quoniam tenebrae transeunt, etlumen verum iam lucet.	8 And yet I do write a new commandment to you, which holds true in him and among you, for the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 Qui dicit se in luce esse, et fratrem suum odit, intenebris est usque adhuc.	9 Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness.
10 Qui diligit fratrem suum, in lumine manet, etscandalum ei non est;	10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a fall.
11 qui autem odit fratrem suum, in tenebris est et intenebris ambulat et nescit quo vadat, quoniam tenebrae obcaecaverunt oculoseius.	11 Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Scribo vobis, filioli: Remissa sunt vobis peccata propter nomen eius.	12 I am writing to you, children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name's sake.
13 Scribo vobis, patres: Nostis eum, qui ab initio est. Scribo vobis, adulescentes:Vicistis Malignum.	13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the evil one.
14 Scripsi vobis, parvuli: Nostis Patrem. Scripsi vobis,patres: Nostis eum, qui ab initio est. Scripsi vobis, adulescentes: Fortesestis, et verbum Dei in vobis manet, et vicistis Malignum.	14 I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong and the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the evil one.
15 Nolite diligere mundum neque ea, quae in mundo sunt. Si quis diligit mundum,non est caritas Patris in eo;	15 Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 quoniam omne, quod est in mundo, concupiscentiacarnis et concupiscentia oculorum et iactantia divitiarum, non est ex Patre, sedex mundo est.	16 For all that is in the world, sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life, is not from the Father but is from the world.
17 Et mundus transit, et concupiscentia eius; qui autem facitvoluntatem Dei, manet in aeternum.	17 Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever.
18 Filioli, novissima hora est; et sicut audistis quia antichristus venit, itanunc antichristi multi adsunt, unde cognoscimus quoniam novissima hora est.	18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour.
19 Ex nobis prodierunt, sed non erant ex nobis, nam si fuissent ex nobis,permansissent nobiscum; sed ut manifestaretur quoniam illi omnes non sunt exnobis.	19 They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number.
20 Sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto et scitis omnes.	20 But you have the anointing that comes from the holy one, and you all have knowledge.
21 Non scripsivobis quasi nescientibus veritatem sed quasi scientibus eam, et quoniam omnemendacium ex veritate non est.	21 I write to you not because you do not know the truth but because you do, and because every lie is alien to the truth.
22 Quis est mendax, nisi is qui negat quoniamIesus est Christus? Hic est antichristus, qui negat Patrem et Filium.	22 Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist.
23 Omnis,qui negat Filium, nec Patrem habet; qui confitetur Filium, et Patrem habet.	23 No one who denies the Son has the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
24 Vos, quod audistis ab initio, in vobis permaneat; si in vobis permanserit,quod ab initio audistis, et vos in Filio et in Patre manebitis.	24 Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father.
25 Et haec estrepromissio, quam ipse pollicitus est nobis: vitam aeternam.	25 And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life.
26 Haec scripsi vobis de eis, qui seducunt vos.	26 I write you these things about those who would deceive you.
27 Et vos, unctionem, quamaccepistis ab eo, manet in vobis, et non necesse habetis, ut aliquis doceat vos;sed sicut unctio ipsius docet vos de omnibus, et verum est, et non estmendacium, et, sicut docuit vos, manetis in eo.	27 As for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, so that you do not need anyone to teach you. But his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false; just as it taught you, remain in him.
28 Et nunc, filioli, manete in eo, ut, cum apparuerit, habeamus fiduciam et nonconfundamur ab eo in adventu eius.	28 And now, children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be put to shame by him at his coming.
29 Si scitis quoniam iustus est, scitotequoniam et omnis, qui facit iustitiam, ex ipso natus est.	29 If you consider that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who acts in righteousness is begotten by him.
