My little children, these things write I to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoever keeps his word, in him truly is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
He that says he stays in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲧⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥ ⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥ̅ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲧⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ.
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
He that loves his brother stays in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲛ̅ϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲱⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲧⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ.
But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϩⲣ̅ϣⲓⲣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ.
I write to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ. ϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϩⲣ̅ϣⲓⲣⲉ. ϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲟⲣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ.
I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God stays in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲃⲓⲟⲥ. ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲏ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōn g165)
And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God stays for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ.
Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ. ⲉⲛⲉϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉ. ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
But you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ϭⲟⲗ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ.
Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲡⲉⲧϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ.
Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you.

But the anointing which you have received of him stays in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ. ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ. ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.
