Here is the early 5th Century Vulgate version in Latin by the great scholar St. Jerome:
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
7 quia tres sunt qui testimonium dant
8 Spiritus et aqua et sanguis et tres unum sunt
Please, will some Latin scholar translate for us?
I would thinkt that Jerome knew about the Peshitta text. It looks like he quoted the Peshitta to me (except for the verse numbering)!!!!
