Comparison
1 John 5
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him. | Omnis qui credit quoniam Iesus est Christus, ex Deo natus est. Et omnis qui diligit eum qui genuit, diligit et eum qui natus est ex eo. |
| 2 | In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments. | In hoc cognoscimus quoniam diligamus natos Dei, cum Deum diligamus, et mandata eius faciamus. |
| 3 | For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy. | Haec est enim caritas Dei, ut mandata eius custodiamus: et mandata eius gravia non sunt. |
| 4 | For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. | Quoniam omne quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et haec est victoria, quae vincit mundum, fides nostra. |
| 5 | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? | Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quoniam Iesus est Filius Dei? |
| 6 | This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth. | 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. |
| 7 | And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one. | Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in caelo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt. |
| 8 | And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one. | Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt. |
| 9 | If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son. | Si testimonium hominum accipimus, testimonium Dei maius est: quoniam hoc est testimonium Dei, quod maius est, quoniam testificatus est de Filio suo. |
| 10 | He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. | Qui credit in Filium Dei, habet testimonium Dei in se. Qui non credit Filio, mendacem facit eum: quia non credit in testimonium quod testificatus est Deus de Filio suo. |
| 11 | And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. | Et hoc est testimonium, quoniam vitam aeternam dedit nobis Deus: et haec vita in Filio eius est. |
| 12 | He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life. | Qui habet Filium, habet vitam: qui non habet Filium, vitam non habet. |
| 13 | These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. | Haec scribo vobis ut sciatis quoniam vitam habetis aeternam, qui creditis in nomine Filii Dei. |
| 14 | And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us. | Et haec est fiducia, quam habemus ad eum: quia quodcumque petierimus, secundum voluntatem eius, audit nos. |
| 15 | And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him. | Et scimus quia audit nos quidquid petierimus: scimus quoniam habemus petitiones quas postulamus ab eo. |
| 16 | He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask. | Qui scit fratrem suum peccare peccatum non ad mortem, petat, et dabitur ei vita peccanti non ad mortem. Est peccatum ad mortem: non pro illo dico ut roget quis. |
| 17 | All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death. | Omnis iniquitas, peccatum est: et est peccatum ad mortem. |
| 18 | We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not. | Scimus quia omnis qui natus est ex Deo, non peccat: sed generatio Dei conservat eum, et malignus non tangit eum. |
| 19 | We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness. | Scimus quoniam ex Deo sumus: et mundus totus in maligno positus est. |
| 20 | And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. | 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. |
| 21 | Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. | Filioli, custodite vos a simulacris. Amen. |
