1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲡⲟϥ ϣⲁϥⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
ⲃ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ.
3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲟⲣϣ̅ ⲁⲛ.
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲁϥϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes 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 blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ. ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲙⲉ.
7 For there are three who testify:
ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ.
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲉ.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲁⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning 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 The testimony is this: that God gave to 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 doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. (aiōnios g166)
14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
15 And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲁⲓⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉϥϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
