The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Most dear brethren, do not ye believe to each spirit, but prove ye the spirits, if they be of God; for many false prophets went out into the world.
1
carissimi nolite omni spiritui credere sed probate spiritus si ex Deo sint quoniam multi pseudoprophetae exierunt in mundum
2 In this thing the Spirit of God is known; each spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in flesh, is of God;
2
in hoc cognoscitur Spiritus Dei omnis spiritus qui confitetur Iesum Christum in carne venisse ex Deo est
3 and each spirit that undoeth Jesus, is not of God. And this is antichrist, of whom ye have heard, that he cometh; and right now he is in the world.
3
et omnis spiritus qui solvit Iesum ex Deo non est et hoc est antichristi quod audistis quoniam venit et nunc iam in mundo est
4 Ye, little sons, be of God, and ye have overcome him; for he that is in you is more, than he that is in the world.
4
vos ex Deo estis filioli et vicistis eos quoniam maior est qui in vobis est quam qui in mundo
5 They be of the world, therefore they speak of the world, and the world heareth them.
5
ipsi de mundo sunt ideo de mundo loquuntur et mundus eos audit
6 We be of God; he that knoweth God, heareth us; he that is not of God, heareth not us. In this thing we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
6
nos ex Deo sumus qui novit Deum audit nos qui non est ex Deo non audit nos in hoc cognoscimus Spiritum veritatis et spiritum erroris
7 Most dear brethren, love we together, for charity is of God; and each that loveth his brother, is born of God, and knoweth God.
7
carissimi diligamus invicem quoniam caritas ex Deo est et omnis qui diligit ex Deo natus est et cognoscit Deum
8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is charity.
8
qui non diligit non novit Deum quoniam Deus caritas est
9 In this thing the charity of God appeared in us, for God sent his one begotten Son into the world, that we live by him.
9
in hoc apparuit caritas Dei in nobis quoniam Filium suum unigenitum misit Deus in mundum ut vivamus per eum
10 In this thing is charity, not as we had loved God, but for he first loved us, and sent his Son forgiveness for our sins [and sent his Son helping for our sins].
10
in hoc est caritas non quasi nos dilexerimus Deum sed quoniam ipse dilexit nos et misit Filium suum propitiationem pro peccatis nostris
11 Ye most dear brethren, if God loved us, [and] we owe to love each other.
11
carissimi si sic Deus dilexit nos et nos debemus alterutrum diligere
12 No man saw ever God; if we love together, God dwelleth in us, and the charity of him is perfect in us.
12
Deum nemo vidit umquam si diligamus invicem Deus in nobis manet et caritas eius in nobis perfecta est
13 In this thing we know, that we dwell in him, and he in us; for of his Spirit he gave to us.
13
in hoc intellegimus quoniam in eo manemus et ipse in nobis quoniam de Spiritu suo dedit nobis
14 And we saw, and witness, that the Father sent his Son Saviour of the world.
14
et nos vidimus et testificamur quoniam Pater misit Filium salvatorem mundi
15 Whoever acknowledgeth [Whoever shall acknowledge], that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
15
quisque confessus fuerit quoniam Iesus est Filius Dei Deus in eo manet et ipse in Deo
16 And we have known, and believe to the charity, that God hath in us. God is charity, and he that dwelleth in charity, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
16
et nos cognovimus et credidimus caritati quam habet Deus in nobis Deus caritas est et qui manet in caritate in Deo manet et Deus in eo
17 In this thing is the perfect charity of God with us [In this thing is the perfect charity of God in us], that we have trust in the day of doom; for as he is, also we be in this world.
17
in hoc perfecta est caritas nobiscum ut fiduciam habeamus in die iudicii quia sicut ille est et nos sumus in hoc mundo
18 Dread is not in charity, but perfect charity putteth out dread [but perfect charity sendeth out dread]; for dread hath pain. But he that dreadeth, is not perfect in charity.
18
timor non est in caritate sed perfecta caritas foras mittit timorem quoniam timor poenam habet qui autem timet non est perfectus in caritate
19 Therefore love we God, for he loved us before. [+Therefore love we God, for he before loved us/for he former loved us.]
19
nos ergo diligamus quoniam Deus prior dilexit nos
20 If any man saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how may he love God, whom he seeth not?
20
si quis dixerit quoniam diligo Deum et fratrem suum oderit mendax est qui enim non diligit fratrem suum quem vidit Deum quem non vidit quomodo potest diligere
21 And we have this commandment of God, that he that loveth God, love also his brother.
21
et hoc mandatum habemus ab eo ut qui diligit Deum diligat et fratrem suum
