That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life
2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ (aiōnios g166)
(and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal [life], which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us); (aiōnios g166)
3 ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲱ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲟⲛⲓⲁ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:
and these things we write, that our joy may be made full.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 ⲍ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲑⲉⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲧϥϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲓⲛⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲃⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϩⲩⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲧⲃⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϫⲓⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
