1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
Omnis, qui credit, quoniam Iesus est Christus, ex Deo natus est. Et omnis, qui diligit eum qui genuit, diligit et eum qui natus est ex eo.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata eius faciamus.
3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
Haec est enim charitas Dei, ut mandata eius custodiamus: et mandata eius gravia non sunt.
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
Quoniam omne, quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et haec est victoria, quae vincit mundum, fides nostra.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Iesus est filius Dei?
6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
hic est, qui venit per aquam et sanguinem, Iesus Christus: non in aqua solum, sed in aqua et sanguine. Et spiritus est, qui testificatur, quoniam Christus est veritas.
7 For there are three who testify:
Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in caelo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: Spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei maius est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod maius est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
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.
11 The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam aeternam dedit nobis Deus. Et haec vita in Filio eius est. (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
Qui habet Filium Dei, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium Dei, vitam non habet.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
Haec scribo vobis: ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis aeternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei. (aiōnios g166)
14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
Et haec est fiducia, quam habemus ad Deum: Quia quodcumque petierimus secundum voluntatem eius, audit nos.
15 And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus: scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.
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.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem.
18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.
Scimus quia omnis, qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat: sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est.
20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Et scimus quoniam Filius Dei venit, et dedit nobis sensum ut cognoscamus verum Deum, et simus in vero Filio eius. Hic est verus Deus, et vita aeterna. (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen.
