1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have contemplated, and our very hands have felt concerning the Word of life,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛⲉⲓⲟⲣϩϥ ⲛⲉⲛϭⲓϫ ⲛⲉⲁⲩϭⲙϭⲱⲙϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ
2 (for this Life was manifested, and we saw it; and we testify and declare unto you that eternal Life, which was with the Father, (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 and was manifested unto us) what we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have communion with us: and our communion is 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 these things we write unto you, that your joy may be complete.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
5 Now this we have heard from Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
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 we say that we have communion with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practise the truth:
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲓⲛⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲛϫⲓ ϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ
7 but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth 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 say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness:
ⲑ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϩⲩⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲧⲃⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϫⲓⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ
10 but if we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
