1 John 5
1 Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲡⲟϥ ϣⲁϥⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
2 In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.
ⲃ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ.
3 For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲟⲣϣ̅ ⲁⲛ.
4 Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.
ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲁϥϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
5 Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?
ⲉ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲣⲁⲉⲓⲧ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
6 This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ. ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲙⲉ.
7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.
ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ.
8 There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲉ.
9 If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.
ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲁⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ.
10 He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ.
11 And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ. (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅.
13 I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. (aiōnios g166)
14 And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
15 And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲁⲓⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅.
16 If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then.

17 All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

18 We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.

19 We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.

20 And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
