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. Ego credidi quia tu es Christus, Filius Dei vivi, qui in hunc mundum venisti peccatores salvos facere.

German translation Ich bin die Auferstehung und das Leben. Wer an mich glaubt, der wird nimmermehr sterben. Ich glaube, dass du der Christus bist, der Sohn Gottes, der du in die Welt kommst, die Sünder selig zu machen.

English translation I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me shall never die. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world to save sinners.
