1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life--
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛⲉⲓⲟⲣϩϥ ⲛⲉⲛϭⲓϫ ⲛⲉⲁⲩϭⲙϭⲱⲙϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ
2 the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ 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
4 And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
5 This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
6 If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲓⲛⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲛϫⲓ ϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ
7 But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
ⲍ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ 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
8 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
