< 1 John 2 >

1 My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲉⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲉϥⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ̅ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ̅. ⲉⲛϥϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ. ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ.
5 But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϯⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
7 Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲧⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥ ⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥ̅ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
8 Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲧⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϯϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ. ϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϫⲣⲟⲡ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
11 The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲛ̅ϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲱⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲧⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
13 Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϩⲣ̅ϣⲓⲣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ.
14 Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ. ϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϩⲣ̅ϣⲓⲣⲉ. ϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲟⲣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ.
15 Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ.
16 For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲃⲓⲟⲥ. ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲏ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ.
19 These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ. ⲉⲛⲉϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉ. ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
ⲕ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲱϩⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
21 I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ϭⲟⲗ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲡⲉⲧϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
24 As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ.
25 And this is what he himself promised us – eternal life! (aiōnios g166)

26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉⲧⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲧⲱϩⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥⲧⲱϩⲥ̅ ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲙⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲗ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ϭⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
28 Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ. ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ. ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
