< 1 John 1 >

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
ⲁ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲛⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ϫⲉⲙϫⲱⲙϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ.
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ) (aiōnios g166)
ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
ⲅ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲥⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ ⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲉⲛϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
ⲍ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
ⲏ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
ⲑ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲭⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
ⲓ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ
