Here is the exact code:

\documentclass[00-main.tex]{subfiles}
\begin{document}

% Actually, the following two lines are in the 00-main.tex file.
\newif\ifepub
\epubtrue

\ifepub
\let\footnoteA\footnote
\let\footnoteB\footnote
\else
\fancyhf{} % delete current header and footer
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyhead[CE,CO]{\bfseries YOHANES}
\headsep = 0pt
\setcounter{chapter}{1}
\chapter*{\begin{center}\textbf{YOHANES}\end{center}}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Yohanes}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\fi

%The following line is an example of the footnotes that must be converted.
Dan dari kepenuhan-Nya kita semua sudah menerima, dan rahmat demi 
rahmat.\footnoteA{Rahmat adalah pemberian yang diberikan kepada seseorang 
yang tidak layak menerimanya.}

\ifepub
\else
\end{multicols}
\fi
\end{document}
