Sahidic Coptic Translation of John 1:1

According to John

1 In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was a god.

John 1:1

 

Sahidic Coptic Translation of John 1:1

The manuscript shown here (dating from about 600 C.E.) contains a translation of the Gospel of John into the Sahidic dialect of the Coptic language.

Coptic was spoken in Egypt in the centuries immediately following Jesus’ earthly ministry.

Along with Syriac and Latin, Coptic was one of the first languages into which the Christian Greek Scriptures were translated.

Translations into Coptic were available by the third century C.E., so they can give us insight into how the Greek text was understood at that time.

This may be of special interest when it comes to the much debated second part of John 1:1, which in many translations reads:

“And the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Unlike Koine Greek, Syriac, and Latin, the Sahidic Coptic dialect does have an indefinite article (in some ways corresponding to “a” and “an” in English).

As shown here, the two occurrences of the Coptic word for “God” (highlighted) look slightly different—the first one (1) with the definite article (circled in red) and the second one (2) with the indefinite article (circled in red). Thus, when rendered literally into English, the translation would read: “And the Word was with the God, and the Word was a god.”

—See study note on Joh 1:1 for more information regarding the rendering “and the Word was a god.”

1. “the” (circled in red) God

2. “a” (circled in red) god

1 Samuel Chapter 8
Verses 4 thru 18

1 Samuel Chapter 8:4-18

4 In time all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Raʹmah.

5 They said to him: “Look! You have grown old, but your sons are not walking in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the other nations.”

6 But it displeased Samuel when they said: “Give us a king to judge us.” Then Samuel prayed to Jehovah,

7 and Jehovah said to Samuel: “Listen to everything the people say to you; for it is not you whom they have rejected, but it is I whom they have rejected as their king.

8 They are doing just as they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day; they keep forsaking me and serving other gods, and that is what they are doing to you.

9 Now listen to them. However, you should solemnly warn them; tell them what the king who rules over them will have the right to demand.”

10 So Samuel told the people who were asking him for a king all the words of Jehovah.

11 He said: “This is what the king who rules over you will have the right to demand: He will take your sons and put them in his chariots and make them his horsemen, and some will have to run before his chariots.

12 And he will appoint for himself chiefs over thousands and chiefs over fifties, and some will do his plowing, reap his harvest, and make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

13 He will take your daughters to be ointment mixers, cooks, and bakers.

14 He will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and he will give them to his servants.

15 He will take the tenth of your grainfields and your vineyards, and he will give it to his court officials and his servants.

16 And he will take your male and female servants, your best herds, and your donkeys, and he will use them for his work.

17 He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you will become his servants.

18 The day will come when you will cry out because of the king you have chosen for yourselves, but Jehovah will not answer you in that day.”

Who Made God ?
Psalm 90:1, 2 From everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

WHO MADE GOD ?

Psalm 90:1,2

O Jehovah, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

Before the mountains were born Or you brought forth the earth and the productive land,

From everlasting to everlasting, you are God (from eternity to eternity).

 

Isaiah 40:28

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, is a God for all eternity.

He never tires out or grows weary.

His understanding is unsearchable (it cannot be fathomed). the King of eternity,

 

1 Timothy 1:17

Those scriptures show us that God is “the King of eternity,” as the apostle Paul describes him. (1 Timothy 1:17)

This means that God has always existed. (Revelation 1:8)

Thus, his eternal existence is a fundamental attribute of the Almighty. “I am the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty."

Although the concept of an eternal God may be hard to grasp, we can see that it makes sense.

If someone else had created God, that person would be the Creator.

Furthermore, we know that the universe at one time did not exist. (Genesis 1:1, 2)

Where did it come from?

 

Job 38:4

Where were you when I founded the earth?

Tell me, if you think you understand.

Its Creator had to exist first. He also existed before there were any other intelligent beings, such as his only-begotten Son and the angels.

 

Colossians 1:13-20

He rescued us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, by means of whom we have our release by ransom, the forgiveness of our sins.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth,

the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities.

All other things have been created through him and for him.

Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist, and he is the head of the body, the congregation.

He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become the one who is first in all things; because God was pleased to have all fullness to dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all other things by making peace through the blood he shed on the torture stake, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.

Clearly, then, he (God Almighty) existed alone first.

He could not have been created; nothing was in existence that could have created him.

 

Isaiah 40:22

There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth,

Our own existence and that of the entire universe testifies to the existence of an eternal God.

 

Jeremiah 10:23

I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.

Correct me, O Jehovah, with judgment, But not in your anger, that you may not reduce me to nothing.

Pour out your wrath on the nations who ignore you And on the families who do not call on your name.

For they have devoured Jacob,

Yes, they have devoured him to the point of extermination,

And they have desolated his homeland.
