I Ioannis 5

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
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 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and whoever loves the father loves the son.
2 In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata ejus faciamus.	2 In this way we know that we love God's children, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 Hæc est enim caritas Dei, ut mandata ejus custodiamus : et mandata ejus gravia non sunt.	3 This is what the love of God is: keeping his commandments. Nor are his commandments burdensome,
4 Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum : et hæc est victoria, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra.	4 because every child of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world --our faith.
5 Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Jesus est Filius Dei ?	5 Who can overcome 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 He it is who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with water alone but with water and blood, andit is the Spirit that bears witness, for 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 witnesses,
8 Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra : spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis : et hi tres unum sunt.	8 the Spirit, water and blood; and the three of them coincide.
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 the testimony of human witnesses, God's testimony is greater, for this is God's testimonywhich he gave about 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 him, and whoever does not believe ismaking God a liar, because he has not believed 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 This is the testimony: God has given 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 has the Son has life, and whoever has not the Son of God has not life.
13 Hæc scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis æternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei.	13 I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that youhave eternal life.
14 Et hæc est fiducia, quam habemus ad eum : quia quodcumque petierimus, secundum voluntatem ejus, audit nos.	14 Our fearlessness towards him consists in this, that if we ask anything in accordance with his wil hehears us.
15 Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus : scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.	15 And if we know that he listens to whatever we ask him, we know that we already possess whatever wehave asked of him.
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 commit a sin that is not a deadly sin, he has only to pray, and God wil givelife to this brother -- provided that it is not a deadly sin. There is sin that leads to death and I am not saying youmust pray about that.
17 Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est : et est peccatum ad mortem.	17 Every kind of wickedness is sin, but not al sin leads to death.
18 Scimus quia omnis qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat : sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum.	18 We are wel aware that no one who is a child of God sins, because he who was born from Godprotects him, and the Evil One has no hold over him.
19 Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus : et mundus totus in maligno positus est.	19 We are wel aware that we are from God, and the whole world is in 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 are wel aware also that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that wemay know the One who is true. We are in the One who is true as we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the trueGod and this is eternal life. Children, be on your guard against false gods.
21 Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
