 What is the relationship between H KOINWNIAN and H HMETERA in the phrase 
> "KAI H KOINWNIAN DE H HMETERA" in 1 John 1:3? Would you translate this "but 
> also our fellowship"? 


Response: It's just an attributive adjective.  I don't think there is a contrast going on so I would not translate DE as 'but' but probably 'and' so I would translate as 

and our fellowship is also with the Father and with the his Son Jesus Christ.
