Book of Common Prayer

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 I am writing graphō to you hymeis, my children teknion, because hoti your hymeis sins hamartia are forgiven aphiēmi · ho on account of dia · ho his autos name onoma. ¹³ I am writing graphō to you hymeis, fathers patēr, because hoti you know ginōskō him ho who is from apo the beginning archē. I am writing graphō to you hymeis, young men neaniskos, because hoti you have overcome nikaō the ho evil one ponēros. ¹⁴ I have written graphō to you hymeis, my children paidion, because hoti you know ginōskō the ho Father patēr. I have written graphō to you hymeis, fathers patēr, because hoti you know ginōskō him ho who is from apo the beginning archē.

¹⁵ Do not mē love agapaō the ho world kosmos or mēde the ho things in en the ho world kosmos. If ean anyone tis loves agapaō the ho world kosmos, the ho love agapē of the ho Father patēr is eimi not ou in en him autos. ¹⁶ For hoti all pas that ho is in en the ho world kosmos— the ho desire epithumia of the ho flesh sarx, · kai the ho desire epithumia of the ho eyes ophthalmos, · kai the ho pride alazoneia of ho possession bios— is eimi not ou from ek the ho Father patēr but alla from ek the ho world kosmos. ¹⁷ · kai The ho world kosmos is passing away paragō with kai all ho its autos desires epithumia, but de the ho one who does poieō the ho will thelēma of ho God theos remains menō for eis all ho time aiōn.

⁹ Now de when Jesus arose anistēmi early prōi on the first prōtos day of the week sabbaton, he appeared phainō first prōton to Mary Maria · ho Magdalene Magdalēnē, from para whom hos he had cast ekballō out seven hepta demons daimonion. ¹⁰ She ekeinos went poreuō out and reported apangellō to those ho who had been ginomai with meta him autos, as they were mourning pentheō and kai weeping klaiō. ¹¹ And kakeinos when they heard akouō that hoti he was alive zaō and kai had been seen theaomai by hypo her autos, they refused apisteō to believe it.

¹² After meta · de this houtos, he appeared phaneroō in en another heteros form morphē to two dyo of ek them autos as they were walking peripateō along , going poreuō into eis the country agros. ¹³ And kakeinos when they returned aperchomai, they reported apangellō it to the ho others loipos; but oude they pisteuō refused to believe pisteuō them ekeinos.

¹⁴ Later hysteros · de he appeared phaneroō to the ho eleven hendeka themselves autos as they were reclining at table anakeimai; and kai he reproached oneidizō · ho their autos unbelief apistia and kai hardness sklērokardia of heart , because hoti they had pisteuō refused ou to believe pisteuō those ho who had seen theaomai him autos resurrected egeirō. ¹⁵ And kai he said legō to them autos, “ Go poreuō into eis all hapas the ho world kosmos and proclaim kēryssō the ho gospel euangelion to every pas · ho creature ktisis. ¹⁶ The ho one who believes pisteuō and kai is baptized baptizō will be saved sōzō, but de the ho one who refuses to believe apisteō will be condemned katakrinō. ¹⁷ And de these houtos signs sēmeion will accompany parakoloutheō those ho who believe pisteuō: in en · ho my egō name onoma they will cast out ekballō demons daimonion; they will speak laleō in new kainos tongues glōssa; ¹⁸ · kai with en their ho hands cheir they will pick up airō snakes ophis; and kan if they drink pinō any tis deadly thanasimos poison it will blaptō in no way ou harm blaptō them autos; they will lay epitithēmi hands cheir on epi the sick arrōstos, and kai they will recover kalōs.” ¹⁹ Then oun the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous, after meta · ho he had spoken laleō to them autos, was taken analambanō up into eis · ho heaven ouranos, and kai sat kathizō down at ek the right dexios hand of ho God theos. ²⁰ And de going out exerchomai, they ekeinos proclaimed kēryssō everywhere pantachou, while the ho Lord kyrios worked synergeō alongside and kai confirmed bebaioō the ho message logos through dia the ho accompanying epakoloutheō signs sēmeion.
