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—

and the Life appeared, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the continuous Life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to 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
we declare to you that which we have seen and heard, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness is not in Him at all;

if we may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] 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
and if we may walk in the light, as He is in the light—we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son Jesus Christ cleanses us from every sin;
8 ⲏ̅ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ
if we may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, 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 may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
10 ⲓ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ
if we may say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
