Book of Common Prayer

3 See what great potapos love agapē the ho Father patēr has given didōmi to us hēmeis, that hina we should be called kaleō children teknon of God theos— and kai so we are eimi! The reason dia houtos the ho world kosmos does not ou know ginōskō us hēmeis is that hoti it did not ou know ginōskō him autos. ² Dear friends agapētos, at the present time nyn we are eimi children teknon of God theos, and kai it has not yet oupō been revealed phaneroō what tis we will be eimi. But we do know oida that hoti when ean he is revealed phaneroō we will be eimi like homoios him autos, because hoti we will see horaō him autos just as kathōs he is eimi. ³ And kai everyone pas who ho has echō · ho this houtos hope elpis in epi him autos purifies hagnizō himself heautou, just as kathōs he ekeinos is eimi pure hagnos.

⁴ Everyone pas who ho makes poieō a practice of · ho sinning hamartia is poieō also kai breaking poieō the ho law anomia; indeed kai, · ho sin hamartia is eimi · ho lawlessness anomia. ⁵ And kai you know oida that hoti he ekeinos appeared phaneroō to hina take away airō our ho sins hamartia, and kai that there is eimi no ou sin hamartia in en him autos. ⁶ No ou one pas who ho abides menō in en him autos keeps on sinning hamartanō; no ou one pas who ho continues to sin hamartanō has either seen horaō him autos or oude known ginōskō him autos. ⁷ Little children teknion, let no one mēdeis deceive planaō you hymeis. Whoever ho makes poieō it a practice to do what ho is right dikaiosynē is eimi righteous dikaios, just as kathōs he ekeinos is eimi righteous dikaios. ⁸ The ho one who continues poieō to · ho sin hamartia is eimi of ek the ho devil diabolos, because hoti the ho devil diabolos has been sinning hamartanō from apo the beginning archē. The ho Son hyios of ho God theos appeared phaneroō for eis this houtos purpose — that hina he might destroy lyō the ho works ergon of the ho devil diabolos. ⁹ No ou one pas · ho born gennaō of ek · ho God theos makes a practice of poieō sinning hamartia, because hoti God’ s autos seed sperma abides menō in en him autos. · kai He cannot ou keep on sinning hamartanō, because hoti he has been born gennaō of ek · ho God theos. ¹⁰ By en this houtos the ho children teknon of ho God theos and kai the ho children teknon of the ho devil diabolos are eimi revealed phaneros: whoever pas · ho does not mē practice poieō righteousness dikaiosynē is eimi not ou of ek · ho God theos, nor kai is the ho one who does not mē love agapaō · ho his autos brother adelphos.

³¹ The ho Jews Ioudaios again palin brought bastazō stones lithos to hina stone lithazō him autos. ³² Jesus Iēsous said apokrinomai to them autos, · ho “ I have shown deiknymi you hymeis many polys noble kalos works ergon from ek the ho Father patēr; for dia which poios one ergon of them autos do you intend to stone lithazō me egō?” ³³ The ho Jews Ioudaios answered apokrinomai him autos, “It is not ou for peri a noble kalos work ergon that we intend to stone lithazō you sy but alla for peri blasphemy blasphēmia; · kai it is because hoti you sy, a mere man anthrōpos, are making poieō yourself seautou God theos.” ³⁴ Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai them autos, · ho “ Is it eimi not ou written graphō in en · ho your hymeis law nomos, ‘ I egō said legō, you are eimi gods theos’? ³⁵ If ei the scripture called legō them ekeinos ‘ gods theos’ to pros whom hos the ho word logos of ho God theos came ginomai— and kai scripture graphē cannot ou dynamai be annulled lyō · ho— ³⁶ do legō you hymeis say legō regarding the one whom hos the ho Father patēr consecrated hagiazō and kai sent apostellō into eis the ho world kosmos, ‘ You are blaspheming blasphēmeō,’ because hoti I said legō, ‘ I am eimi the Son hyios of ho God theos’? ³⁷ If ei I am not ou doing poieō the ho works ergon of ho my egō Father patēr, then do not mē believe pisteuō me egō; ³⁸ but de if ei I am doing poieō them, even kan if you do pisteuō not mē believe pisteuō me egō, believe pisteuō the ho works ergon, that hina you may come to know ginōskō and kai be certain ginōskō that hoti the ho Father patēr is in en me egō and kagō that I am in en the ho Father patēr.” ³⁹ So oun once again palin they tried zēteō to arrest piazō him autos, but kai he escaped exerchomai out ek of · ho their autos grasp cheir.

⁴⁰ · kai He went aperchomai away again palin across peran the ho Jordan Iordanēs to eis the ho place topos where hopou John Iōannēs had been eimi baptizing baptizō at an · ho earlier prōton time , and kai there ekei he remained menō. ⁴¹ · kai Many polys people came erchomai to pros him autos and kai were saying legō, “ John Iōannēs performed poieō no oudeis miraculous sēmeion sign , but de everything pas he Iōannēs said legō about peri this houtos man was eimi true alēthēs!” ⁴² And kai many polys in that place ekei came to believe pisteuō in eis Jesus autos.
