Book of Common Prayer

2 My egō little children teknion, I am writing graphō these things houtos to you hymeis so that hina you may not mē sin hamartanō. But kai if ean anyone tis does sin hamartanō, we have echō an advocate paraklētos with pros the ho Father patēr, Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos the righteous one dikaios. ² · kai He autos is eimi the propitiation hilasmos for peri · ho our hēmeis sins hamartia, and de not ou for peri · ho ours hēmeteros only monon, but alla also kai for peri those of the ho entire holos world kosmos.

³ Now kai this houtos is how en we can be sure ginōskō that hoti we know ginōskō God autos: if ean we keep tēreō · ho his autos commandments entolē. ⁴ The ho one who says legō, “ I know ginōskō God autos,” yet kai does tēreō not mē keep tēreō · ho his autos commandments entolē, is eimi a liar pseustēs and kai the ho truth alētheia is eimi not ou in en him houtos. ⁵ But de whoever hos keeps tēreō his autos · ho word logos, truly alēthōs in en that person houtos is the ho love agapē of ho God theos brought to fulfillment teleioō. This is how en we can be sure ginōskō that hoti we are eimi in en him autos: ⁶ the ho one who claims legō to abide menō in en God autos ought opheilō to walk peripateō just as kathōs Jesus ekeinos walked peripateō. · kai

⁷ Dear friends agapētos, it is not ou a new kainos commandment entolē that I write graphō to you hymeis, but alla an old palaios commandment entolē—one that hos you have had echō from apo the beginning archē. The ho old palaios commandment entolē · ho is eimi the ho message logos you have already heard akouō. ⁸ Yet palin it is a new kainos commandment entolē that I write graphō to you hymeis, one hos that is eimi true alēthēs in en him autos and kai in en you hymeis, because hoti the ho darkness skotia is passing away paragō and kai the ho true alēthinos light phōs · ho is already ēdē shining phainō. ⁹ The ho one who claims legō to be eimi in en the ho light phōs but kai goes on hating miseō · ho his autos brother adelphos is eimi still heōs in en the ho darkness skotia. ¹⁰ The ho one who loves agapaō · ho his autos brother adelphos is living menō in en the ho light phōs and kai in en him autos there is eimi no ou cause for stumbling skandalon. ¹¹ But de the ho one who hates miseō · ho his autos brother adelphos is eimi in en the ho darkness skotia; · kai he walks peripateō in en the ho darkness skotia and kai does not ou know oida where pou he is going hypagō, because hoti the ho darkness skotia has blinded typhloō · ho his autos eyes ophthalmos.

¹⁸ The ho Jews Ioudaios did not ou believe pisteuō the report about peri him autos, that hoti he had been eimi blind typhlos and kai had received anablepō his sight , until heōs hostis they called phōneō the ho parents goneus of the man autos who ho had received anablepō his sight ¹⁹ and kai asked erōtaō them autos, saying legō, “ Is eimi this houtos · ho your hymeis son hyios, who hos you hymeis say legō was born gennaō blind typhlos? How pōs then oun does he now arti see blepō?” ²⁰ His autos parents goneus answered apokrinomai, · ho · kai saying legō, “ We know oida that hoti this houtos is eimi · ho our hēmeis son hyios and kai that hoti he was born gennaō blind typhlos; ²¹ but de how pōs it is that he now nyn sees blepō we do not ou know oida, nor ē do oida we hēmeis know oida who tis opened anoigō his autos · ho eyes ophthalmos. Ask erōtaō him autos, he is echō an adult hēlikia. He autos will speak laleō for peri himself heautou.” ²² His autos parents goneus said legō this houtos · ho because hoti they were afraid phobeomai of the ho Jews Ioudaios; for gar the ho Jews Ioudaios had already ēdē agreed syntithēmi that hina if ean anyone tis should confess homologeō Jesus autos to be the Christ Christos, he was to be ginomai put out of the synagogue aposynagōgos. ²³ For dia this houtos reason · ho his autos parents goneus said legō, “ He is echō an adult hēlikia, ask eperōtaō him autos.”

²⁴ So oun for ek the second time deuteros they called phōneō the ho man anthrōpos who hos had been eimi blind typhlos and kai said legō to him autos, “ Give didōmi the glory doxa to ho God theos! We hēmeis know oida that hoti this houtos · ho man anthrōpos is eimi a sinner hamartōlos.” ²⁵ He ekeinos replied apokrinomai, “ Whether ei or not he is eimi a sinner hamartōlos, I do not ou know oida. One heis thing I do know oida: whereas I used to be eimi blind typhlos, I now arti see blepō.” ²⁶ Therefore oun they said legō to him autos, “ What tis did he do poieō to you sy? How pōs did he open anoigō your sy · ho eyes ophthalmos?” ²⁷ He answered apokrinomai them autos, “ I told legō you hymeis already ēdē and kai you did not ou listen akouō. Why tis do you want thelō to hear akouō it again palin? You hymeis do thelō not mē want thelō to become ginomai his autos disciples mathētēs too kai, do you?” ²⁸ Then kai they scoffed loidoreō at him autos, · kai saying legō, “ You sy are eimi a disciple mathētēs of that ekeinos man ! But de we hēmeis are eimi disciples mathētēs of ho Moses Mōysēs! ²⁹ We hēmeis know oida that hoti God theos has spoken laleō to Moses Mōysēs, · ho but de as for this houtos fellow , we do not ou even know oida where pothen he comes eimi from.” ³⁰ The ho man anthrōpos responded apokrinomai · kai to them autos, saying legō, “ This houtos is eimi an ho amazing thaumastos thing , that hoti you hymeis do not ou know oida where pothen he comes eimi from, and kai yet he opened anoigō my egō · ho eyes ophthalmos! ³¹ We know oida that hoti God theos does akouō not ou listen akouō to sinners hamartōlos, · ho but alla if ean anyone tis is eimi devout theosebēs and kai does poieō · ho his autos will thelēma, God listens to akouō him houtos. ³² Not ou since ek · ho time aiōn began has it been heard akouō that hoti anyone tis opened anoigō the eyes ophthalmos of a man born gennaō blind typhlos. ³³ If ei this man houtos were eimi not mē from para God theos, he could dynamai do poieō nothing oudeis.” ³⁴ They replied apokrinomai · kai to him autos, saying legō, “ You sy were born gennaō completely holos in en sin hamartia, and kai would you sy lecture didaskō us hēmeis?” So kai they threw ekballō him autos out exō.

³⁵ Jesus Iēsous heard akouō that hoti they had thrown ekballō him autos out exō, and kai when he found heuriskō him autos, he said legō, “ Do you sy believe pisteuō in eis the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos?” ³⁶ The man ekeinos replied apokrinomai, · kai saying legō, “ And kai who tis is eimi he , sir kyrios? Tell me, so that hina I may believe pisteuō in eis him autos.” ³⁷ Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho · kai “ You have seen horaō him autos; in fact kai, he ekeinos is eimi the ho one speaking laleō with meta you sy.” ³⁸ Then de the ho man said phēmi, “ I believe pisteuō, Lord kyrios,” and kai he bowed proskyneō in reverence before him autos. ³⁹ · kai Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho “ For eis judgment krima I egō came erchomai into eis · ho this houtos world kosmos, so hina that those ho who cannot mē see blepō may receive their sight blepō, and kai that those ho who think they see blepō may become ginomai blind typhlos.” ⁴⁰ Some ho of ek the ho Pharisees Pharisaios who were eimi near meta him autos heard akouō this houtos, and kai said legō to him autos, “ Surely we hēmeis are eimi not mē blind typhlos too kai, are we ?” ⁴¹ Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ If ei you were eimi blind typhlos, you would an not ou be guilty echō of sin hamartia; but de now nyn you are saying legō, ‘ We can see blepō,’ so · ho your hymeis guilt hamartia remains menō.
