Revised Standard Version RSV
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 upon and touched with our hands, 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 was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us--
2
et vita manifestata est et vidimus et testamur et adnuntiamus vobis vitam aeternam quae erat apud Patrem et apparuit nobis
3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you 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 And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.
4
et haec scribimus vobis ut gaudium nostrum sit plenum
5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him 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 say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to 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 cleanses 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 say we have no 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 our sins and cleanse 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 say we have not sinned, we make him 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
