1 Videte qualem caritatem dedit nobis Pater, ut filii Dei nominemur et simus. "See" or "Behold"|"what great"|"love"|||Father||||"be called"||"we may be" 1 Behold what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called and be the children of God. Propter hoc mundus non novit nos : quia non novit eum. ||world||"knows" or "recognizes"|us|because||knows| For this reason, the world does not know us: because it did not know Him. 2 Carissimi, nunc filii Dei sumus : et nondum apparuit quid erimus. Beloved ones||||||not yet|"has appeared"||we will be 2 Beloved, now we are the children of God: and it has not yet appeared what we shall be. Scimus quoniam cum apparuerit, similes ei erimus : quoniam videbimus eum sicuti est. "We know"|||"has appeared"|we shall be like|"to him"|"we will be"|"because"|we will see||"as he is"|"he is" We know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 Et omnis qui habet hanc spem in eo, sanctificat se, sicut et ille sanctus est. ||||this||||"purifies"|||||holy| And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. 4 Omnis qui facit peccatum, et iniquitatem facit : et peccatum est iniquitas. |||||iniquity|||||lawlessness Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 Et scitis quia ille apparuit ut peccata nostra tolleret : et peccatum in eo non est. ||||||||"might take away"|||||| 5 And you know that he appeared to take away our sins: and there is no sin in him. 6 Omnis qui in eo manet, non peccat : et omnis qui peccat, non vidit eum, nec cognovit eum. ||||||sins||||sins||has seen|||"has known"| 6 Everyone who abides in him does not sin: and everyone who sins has not seen him, nor known him. 7 Filioli, nemo vos seducat. |||deceive 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Qui facit justitiam, justus est, sicut et ille justus est. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 Qui facit peccatum, ex diabolo est : quoniam ab initio diabolus peccat. ||||the devil|||||the devil| 8 Whoever commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. In hoc apparuit Filius Dei, ut dissolvat opera diaboli. |||Son|||"might destroy"||"of the devil" The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 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. |||||God|||||seed|"of him"|||remains in him|||||||God|| 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.

10 In hoc manifesti sunt filii Dei, et filii diaboli. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Omnis qui non est justus, non est ex Deo, et qui non diligit fratrem suum :11 quoniam hæc est annuntiatio, quam audistis ab initio, ut diligatis alterutrum.12 Non sicut Cain, qui ex maligno erat, et occidit fratrem suum. |||"is"|||||||||||||||proclamation||||||"you love"|"one another"|||"like Cain"|||"the evil one"|||kills|| Everyone who is not righteous is not of God, and whoever does not love his brother: 11 because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that you should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and killed his brother. Et propter quid occidit eum ? And why did he kill him? Quoniam opera ejus maligna erant : fratris autem ejus, justa.13 Nolite mirari, fratres, si odit vos mundus.14 Nos scimus quoniam translati sumus de morte ad vitam, quoniam diligimus fratres. |||"evil"||"of the brother"|||"Just" or "righteous"||marvel|brothers|||you|||"We know"||"transferred" or "passed over"|||death||||"we love"|brothers Because his works were evil: but his brother's were just. Do not marvel, brothers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. Qui non diligit, manet in morte :15 omnis qui odit fratrem suum, homicida est. |||||||||||murderer| Whoever does not love abides in death: everyone who hates his brother is a murderer. Et scitis quoniam omnis homicida non habet vitam æternam in semetipso manentem.16 In hoc cognovimus caritatem Dei, quoniam ille animam suam pro nobis posuit : et nos debemus pro fratribus animas ponere.17 Qui habuerit substantiam hujus mundi, et viderit fratrem suum necessitatem habere, et clauserit viscera sua ab eo : quomodo caritas Dei manet in eo ?18 Filioli mei, non diligamus verbo neque lingua, sed opere et veritate :19 in hoc cognoscimus quoniam ex veritate sumus : et in conspectu ejus suadebimus corda nostra.20 Quoniam si reprehenderit nos cor nostrum : major est Deus corde nostro, et novit omnia.21 Carissimi, si cor nostrum non reprehenderit nos, fiduciam habemus ad Deum :22 et quidquid petierimus, accipiemus ab eo : quoniam mandata ejus custodimus, et ea, quæ sunt placita coram eo, facimus.23 Et hoc est mandatum ejus : ut credamus in nomine Filii ejus Jesu Christi : et diligamus alterutrum, sicut dedit mandatum nobis.24 Et qui servat mandata ejus, in illo manet, et ipse in eo : et in hoc scimus quoniam manet in nobis, de Spiritu quem dedit nobis. |"You know"|||||||||himself|"Remaining" or "abiding"||||charity||||"soul" or "life"|his|||"Posuit" in this context translates to "laid down."|||"we ought"||"for the brothers"|"souls"|"To lay down"||has|"Substance" or "wealth"|of this|||he will have seen|||"Need" or "necessity"|has||"shuts up"|"Compassion" or "affection"||||how|||||||||"Let us love"|||tongue||"Deed" or "action"||truth|||We know|since||truth||||"Conspectu" in this context translates to "in his sight."||"we shall persuade"|souls|Our|for||"Condemns" or "reproaches"||soul|||||soul|our||knows||"Beloved"||soul||not|reprehend||trust|||God||"Whatever"|"we ask"|"We will receive"||||mandate||We keep|||||"pleasing things"|"in his presence"|"in him"|We do.|||||||"we believe"||"In the name"||||||we should love|"One another"|as|"gave"|mandate||||||||he|||||||||||||||Spirit||| And you know that every murderer does not have eternal life abiding in himself. By this we know love of God, that he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Whoever has the goods of this world and sees his brother in need, and shuts his heart from him: how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth: by this we know that we are of the truth: and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemns us: God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God: and whatever we ask, we receive from him: because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment: that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ: and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him: and by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
