New International Version NIV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
1
quod fuit ab initio quod audivimus quod vidimus oculis nostris quod perspeximus et manus nostrae temptaverunt de verbo vitae
2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.
2
et vita manifestata est et vidimus et testamur et adnuntiamus vobis vitam aeternam quae erat apud Patrem et apparuit nobis
3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
3
quod vidimus et audivimus adnuntiamus et vobis ut et vos societatem habeatis nobiscum et societas nostra sit cum Patre et cum Filio eius Iesu Christo
4 We write this to make our joy complete.
4
et haec scribimus vobis ut gaudium nostrum sit plenum
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
5
et haec est adnuntiatio quam audivimus ab eo et adnuntiamus vobis quoniam Deus lux est et tenebrae in eo non sunt ullae
6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
6
si dixerimus quoniam societatem habemus cum eo et in tenebris ambulamus mentimur et non facimus veritatem
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, purifies us from all sin.
7
si autem in luce ambulemus sicut et ipse est in luce societatem habemus ad invicem et sanguis Iesu Filii eius mundat nos ab omni peccato
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
8
si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus ipsi nos seducimus et veritas in nobis non est
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
9
si confiteamur peccata nostra fidelis est et iustus ut remittat nobis peccata et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate
10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
10
si dixerimus quoniam non peccavimus mendacem facimus eum et verbum eius non est in nobis
