I Ioannis 5

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 born of God. And everyone who loves God, who provides that birth, also loves him who has been born of God.
2 In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata ejus faciamus.	2 In this way, we know that we love those born of God: when we love God and do his commandments.
3 Hæc est enim caritas Dei, ut mandata ejus custodiamus : et mandata ejus gravia non sunt.	3 For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.
4 Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum : et hæc est victoria, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra.	4 For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.
5 Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Jesus est Filius Dei ?	5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he 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 by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the One who testifies that the Christ is the Truth.
7 Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in cælo : Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus : et hi tres unum sunt.	7 For there are Three who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these Three are One.
8 Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra : spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis : et hi tres unum sunt.	8 And there are three who give testimony on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And these three are one.
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 men, then the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater: that he has testified 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, holds the testimony of God within himself. Whoever does not believe in the Son, makes him a liar, because he does not believe in the testimony which God has testified 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 which God has given to 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. Whoever does not have the Son, does not have Life.
13 Hæc scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis æternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei.	13 I am writing this 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 this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us.
15 Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus : scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.	15 And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request 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 Anyone who realizes that his brother has sinned, with a sin that is not unto death, let him pray, and life shall be given to him who has sinned not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death. I am not saying that anyone should ask on behalf of that sin.
17 Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est : et est peccatum ad mortem.	17 All that is iniquity is sin. But there is a sin unto death.
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 everyone who is born of God does not sin. Instead, rebirth in God preserves him, 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 are of God, and that the entire world is established in wickedness.
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 And we know that the Son of God has arrived, and that he has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God, and so that we may remain in his true Son. This is the true God, and this is Eternal Life.
21 Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.	21 Little sons, keep yourselves from false worship. Amen.
