I Ioannis 5

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Omnis qui credit quoniam Jesus est Christus, ex Deo natus est. Et omnis qui diligit eum qui genuit, diligit et eum qui natus est ex eo.	1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the father loves (also) the one begotten by him.
2 In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata ejus faciamus.	2 In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments.
3 Hæc est enim caritas Dei, ut mandata ejus custodiamus : et mandata ejus gravia non sunt.	3 For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,
4 Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum : et hæc est victoria, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra.	4 for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith.
5 Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Jesus est Filius Dei ?	5 Who (indeed) is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Hic est, qui venit per aquam et sanguinem, Jesus Christus : non in aqua solum, sed in aqua et sanguine. Et Spiritus est, qui testificatur quoniam Christus est veritas.	6 This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth.
7 Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in cælo : Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus : et hi tres unum sunt.	7 So there are three that testify,
8 Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra : spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis : et hi tres unum sunt.	8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord.
9 Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei majus est : quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod majus est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.	9 If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son.
10 Qui credit in Filium Dei, habet testimonium Dei in se. Qui non credit Filio, mendacem facit eum : quia non credit in testimonium quod testificatus est Deus de Filio suo.	10 Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.
11 Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam æternam dedit nobis Deus : et hæc vita in Filio ejus est.	11 And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 Qui habet Filium, habet vitam : qui non habet Filium, vitam non habet.	12 Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.
13 Hæc scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis æternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei.	13 I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
14 Et hæc est fiducia, quam habemus ad eum : quia quodcumque petierimus, secundum voluntatem ejus, audit nos.	14 And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus : scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.	15 And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours.
16 Qui scit fratrem suum peccare peccatum non ad mortem, petat, et dabitur ei vita peccanti non ad mortem. Est peccatum ad mortem : non pro illo dico ut roget quis.	16 If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray.
17 Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est : et est peccatum ad mortem.	17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly.
18 Scimus quia omnis qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat : sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum.	18 We know that no one begotten by God sins; but the one begotten by God he protects, and the evil one cannot touch him.
19 Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus : et mundus totus in maligno positus est.	19 We know that we belong to God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
20 Et scimus quoniam Filius Dei venit, et dedit nobis sensum ut cognoscamus verum Deum, et simus in vero Filio ejus. Hic est verus Deus, et vita æterna.	20 We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment to know the one who is true. And we are in the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
21 Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.	21 Children, be on your guard against idols.
