The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 quod fuit ab initio quod audivimus quod vidimus oculis nostris quod perspeximus et manus nostrae temptaverunt de verbo vitae
1
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--
2 et vita manifestata est et vidimus et testamur et adnuntiamus vobis vitam aeternam quae erat apud Patrem et apparuit nobis
2
the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--
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
3
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 et haec scribimus vobis ut gaudium nostrum sit plenum
4
And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
5 et haec est adnuntiatio quam audivimus ab eo et adnuntiamus vobis quoniam Deus lux est et tenebrae in eo non sunt ullae
5
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 si dixerimus quoniam societatem habemus cum eo et in tenebris ambulamus mentimur et non facimus veritatem
6
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
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
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 Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus ipsi nos seducimus et veritas in nobis non est
8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 si confiteamur peccata nostra fidelis est et iustus ut remittat nobis peccata et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate
9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 si dixerimus quoniam non peccavimus mendacem facimus eum et verbum eius non est in nobis
10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
