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.

¹² While hote I was eimi with meta them autos, I egō protected tēreō them autos in en · ho your sy name onoma, which hos you have given didōmi me egō. · kai I guarded phylassō them, and kai not oudeis one of ek them autos has been lost apollymi except ei mē the ho son hyios of ho destruction apōleia, that hina the ho scripture graphē might be fulfilled plēroō. ¹³ But de now nyn I am on my way erchomai to pros you sy, and kai I am saying laleō these houtos things while still in en the ho world kosmos that hina they may have echō · ho my emos joy chara · ho made complete plēroō in en themselves heautou. ¹⁴ I egō have given didōmi them autos · ho your sy word logos, and kai the ho world kosmos has hated miseō them autos because hoti they do not ou belong eimi to ek the ho world kosmos, just kathōs as I egō do not ou belong eimi to ek the ho world kosmos. ¹⁵ I am not ou asking erōtaō that hina you take airō them autos out ek of the ho world kosmos, but alla that hina you protect tēreō them autos from ek the ho evil ponēros one . ¹⁶ They do eimi not ou belong eimi to ek the ho world kosmos, just kathōs as I egō do not ou belong eimi to ek the ho world kosmos. ¹⁷ Consecrate hagiazō them autos by en the ho truth alētheia; · ho your sos word logos · ho is eimi truth alētheia. ¹⁸ As kathōs you sent apostellō me egō into eis the ho world kosmos, I kagō also have sent apostellō them autos into eis the ho world kosmos. ¹⁹ And kai for hyper their autos sake I egō consecrate hagiazō myself emautou, that hina they autos also kai may be eimi consecrated hagiazō by en the truth alētheia.
