Latin

Idea Dei quæ in nobis est, est adæquata et perfecta (per propositiones 46 et 47 partis II) adeoque quatenus Deum contemplamur eatenus agimus (per propositionem 3 partis III) et consequenter (per propositionem 59 partis III) nulla potest dari tristitia concomitante idea Dei hoc est (per 7 affectuum definitionem) nemo Deum odio habere potest. Q.E.D.

English (Elwes 1883)

The idea of God which is in us is adequate and perfect (II. xlvi. xlvii.); wherefore, in so far as we contemplate God, we are active (III. iii.); consequently (III. lix.) there can be no pain accompanied by the idea of God, in other words (Def. of the Emotions, vii.), no one can hate God. Q.E.D.

Modern English

The idea of God that is in us is adequate and perfect (E2P46); therefore, insofar as we contemplate God, we act (E3P3), and consequently (E3P59) no sadness accompanied by the idea of God can arise, that is, (E3DA7), no one can hate God. Q.E.D.
