The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 omnis qui credit quoniam Iesus est Christus ex Deo natus est et omnis qui diligit eum qui genuit diligit eum qui natus est ex eo
1
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.
2 in hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligimus natos Dei cum Deum diligamus et mandata eius faciamus
2
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.
3 haec est enim caritas Dei ut mandata eius custodiamus et mandata eius gravia non sunt
3
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
4 quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo vincit mundum et haec est victoria quae vincit mundum fides nostra
4
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
5 quis est qui vincit mundum nisi qui credit quoniam Iesus est Filius Dei
5
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 hic est qui venit per aquam et sanguinem Iesus Christus non in aqua solum sed in aqua et sanguine et Spiritus est qui testificatur quoniam Christus est veritas
6
This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 quia tres sunt qui testimonium dant
7
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
8 Spiritus et aqua et sanguis et tres unum sunt
8
And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
9 si testimonium hominum accipimus testimonium Dei maius est quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei quod maius est quia testificatus est de Filio suo
9
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.
10 qui credit in Filio Dei habet testimonium Dei in se qui non credit Filio mendacem facit eum quoniam non credidit in testimonio quod testificatus est Deus de Filio suo
10
He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.
11 et hoc est testimonium quoniam vitam aeternam dedit nobis Deus et haec vita in Filio eius est
11
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 qui habet Filium habet vitam qui non habet Filium Dei vitam non habet
12
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 haec scripsi vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis aeternam qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei
13
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
14 et haec est fiducia quam habemus ad eum quia quodcumque petierimus secundum voluntatem eius audit nos
14
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 et scimus quoniam audit nos quicquid petierimus scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulavimus ab eo
15
And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
16 qui scit fratrem suum peccare peccatum non ad mortem petet et dabit ei vitam peccantibus non ad mortem est peccatum ad mortem non pro illo dico ut roget
16
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.
17 omnis iniquitas peccatum est et est peccatum non ad mortem
17
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
18 scimus quoniam omnis qui natus est ex Deo non peccat sed generatio Dei conservat eum et malignus non tangit eum
18
We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
19 scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus et mundus totus in maligno positus est
19
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
20 et scimus quoniam Filius Dei venit et dedit nobis sensum ut cognoscamus verum Deum et simus in vero Filio eius hic est verus Deus et vita aeterna
20
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
21 filioli custodite vos a simulacris
21
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
