Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and everyone who loves a parent loves his child.
By this we know that we love God’s children – when we love God and carry out his commands.
For to love God is to do what he commands and his commands are not a burden,
for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. What is the victory by which the world is overcome? Our faith!
Who can overcome the world but the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 ⲋ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲙⲉ
Jesus Christ, the one who came by water and blood – not by water only but by water and blood – and the Spirit testifies to this because the Spirit is truth.
Indeed three testify:
the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three agree.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲁⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ
We accept human testimony, surely God’s testimony is even stronger! And God’s testimony is the testimony he has given about his Son.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ϭⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ
The person who believes in the Son of God has that testimony within them. The person who does not believe God has made God a liar, by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲛϩ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ (aiōnios g166)
And this is that testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever who doesn’t have God’s Son does not have life.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ (aiōnios g166)
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
We can approach him with this confidence, that whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will, he listens to us.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲏⲇⲏⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ
And if we know he hears us – whatever we ask – we know also that what we ask for is ours.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉϣⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉϥϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
If anyone sees one of our people committing some sin that is not a sin leading to death, they should ask, and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲉϥⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲁϥϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
We know that those who have been born of God do not keep sinning. God protects his children and the evil one cannot get hold of them.
We know that we are God’s children, though the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōnios g166)
We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God – and we are in him who is true, by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
My children, guard yourselves against false ideas of God.
