The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 See ye what manner charity the Father gave to us, that we be named the sons of God, and be his sons. For this thing the world knew not us, for it knew not him [For this thing the world knoweth not us, for it knoweth not him].
1
videte qualem caritatem dedit nobis Pater ut filii Dei nominemur et sumus propter hoc mundus non novit nos quia non novit eum
2 Most dear brethren, now we be the sons of God, and yet it appeared not, what we shall be. We know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
2
carissimi nunc filii Dei sumus et nondum apparuit quid erimus scimus quoniam cum apparuerit similes ei erimus quoniam videbimus eum sicuti est
3 And each man that hath this hope in him, maketh himself holy, as [and] he is holy.
3
et omnis qui habet spem hanc in eo sanctificat se sicut et ille sanctus est
4 Each man that doeth sin, doeth also wickedness, and sin is wickedness.
4
omnis qui facit peccatum et iniquitatem facit et peccatum est iniquitas
5 And ye know, that he appeared to do away sins, and sin is not in him.
5
et scitis quoniam ille apparuit ut peccata tolleret et peccatum in eo non est
6 Each man that dwelleth in him, sinneth not; and each that sinneth, seeth not him, neither knew him.
6
omnis qui in eo manet non peccat omnis qui peccat non vidit eum nec cognovit eum
7 Little sons, no man deceive you; he that doeth rightwiseness, is just, as also he is just.
7
filioli nemo vos seducat qui facit iustitiam iustus est sicut et ille iustus est
8 He that doeth sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. In this thing the Son of God appeared, that he undo the works of the devil.
8
qui facit peccatum ex diabolo est quoniam ab initio diabolus peccat in hoc apparuit Filius Dei ut dissolvat opera diaboli
9 Each man that is born of God, doeth not sin; for the seed of God dwelleth in him, and he may not do sin [and he may not sin], for he is born of God.
9
omnis qui natus est ex Deo peccatum non facit quoniam semen ipsius in eo manet et non potest peccare quoniam ex Deo natus est
10 In this thing the sons of God be known, and the sons of the fiend. Each man that is not just, is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother [and he that loveth not his brother, is not of God].
10
in hoc manifesti sunt filii Dei et filii diaboli omnis qui non est iustus non est de Deo et qui non diligit fratrem suum
11 For this is the telling, that ye heard at the beginning, that ye love each other;
11
quoniam haec est adnuntiatio quam audistis ab initio ut diligamus alterutrum
12 not as Cain, that was of the devil, and slew his brother. And for what thing slew he him? for his works were evil, and his brother's just.
12
non sicut Cain ex maligno erat et occidit fratrem suum et propter quid occidit eum quoniam opera eius maligna erant fratris autem eius iusta
13 Brethren, do not ye wonder, if the world hateth you.
13
nolite mirari fratres si odit vos mundus
14 We know, that we be translated from death to life, for we love brethren. He that loveth not, dwelleth in death.
14
nos scimus quoniam translati sumus de morte in vitam quoniam diligimus fratres qui non diligit manet in morte
15 Each man that hateth his brother, is a manslayer; and ye know, that each manslayer hath not everlasting life dwelling in him.
15
omnis qui odit fratrem suum homicida est et scitis quoniam omnis homicida non habet vitam aeternam in se manentem
16 In this thing we have known the charity of God, for he put his life for us, and we owe to put our lives for our brethren.
16
in hoc cognovimus caritatem quoniam ille pro nobis animam suam posuit et nos debemus pro fratribus animas ponere
17 He that hath the chattel of this world, and seeth that his brother hath need [He that shall have the substance of this world, and shall see his brother have need], and closeth his entrails from him, how dwelleth the charity of God in him?
17
qui habuerit substantiam mundi et viderit fratrem suum necesse habere et clauserit viscera sua ab eo quomodo caritas Dei manet in eo
18 My little sons, love we not in word, neither in tongue, but in work and truth.
18
filioli non diligamus verbo nec lingua sed opere et veritate
19 In this thing we know, that we be of truth, and in his sight we admonish our hearts.
19
in hoc cognoscimus quoniam ex veritate sumus et in conspectu eius suadeamus corda nostra
20 For if our heart reprove us, God is more than our heart, and knoweth all things.
20
quoniam si reprehenderit nos cor maior est Deus corde nostro et novit omnia
21 Most dear brethren, if our heart reproveth not us, we have trust to God;
21
carissimi si cor non reprehenderit nos fiduciam habemus ad Deum
22 and whatever we shall ask, we shall receive of him, for we keep his commandments, and we do those things that be pleasant before him.
22
et quodcumque petierimus accipiemus ab eo quoniam mandata eius custodimus et ea quae sunt placita coram eo facimus
23 And this is the commandment of God, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love each other [And this is the commandment of him, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other], as he gave behest to us.
23
et hoc est mandatum eius ut credamus in nomine Filii eius Iesu Christi et diligamus alterutrum sicut dedit mandatum nobis
24 And he that keepeth his commandments, dwelleth in him, and he in him. And in this thing we know, that he dwelleth in us, by the Spirit, whom he gave to us.
24
et qui servat mandata eius in illo manet et ipse in eo et in hoc scimus quoniam manet in nobis de Spiritu quem nobis dedit
