I Ioannis 1

VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Quod fuit ab initio, quod audivimus, quod vidimus oculis nostris, quod perspeximus, et manus nostræ contrectaverunt de verbo vitæ :	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 vita manifestata est, et vidimus, et testamur, et annuntiamus vobis vitam æternam, quæ erat apud Patrem, 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 vobis, ut et vos societatem habeatis nobiscum, et societas nostra sit cum Patre, et cum Filio ejus Jesu 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 hæc scribimus vobis ut gaudeatis, et gaudium vestrum sit plenum.	4 And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.
5 Et hæc est annuntiatio, quam audivimus ab eo, et annuntiamus vobis : quoniam Deus lux est, et tenebræ in eo non sunt ullæ.	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 societatem habemus cum eo, et in tenebris ambulamus, mentimur, et veritatem non facimus.	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 ambulamus sicut et ipse est in luce, societatem habemus ad invicem, et sanguis Jesu Christi, Filii ejus, emundat nos ab 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, ipsi nos seducimus, et veritas in 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 justus, ut remittat nobis peccata nostra, et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate.	9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Si dixerimus quoniam non peccavimus, mendacem facimus eum, et verbum ejus non est in nobis.	10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
