Original text and translations
The text is an amalgamation of phrases from the Gospel of John 11, 25 - 27 and from 1. Timothy 1, 15, which is connected to the previous by the common words "in hunc mundum venisti/venit".
Not to be confused with Ego sum resurrectio II, which uses the unchanged citation from John 11, 25 - 26.
Latin text Ego sum resurrectio et vita. Qui credit in me, non morietur in aeternum. |
German translation Ich bin die Auferstehung und das Leben. Wer an mich glaubt, der wird nimmermehr sterben. |
English translation I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me shall never die. |
