Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

For even Christ did not please himself. But, as it is written, "The insults of those who insult you fell on me."

For whatever things were written before were written for our instruction, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,
that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
9 ⲑ̅ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲁⲉⲣⲯⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ.
and that the non-Jews might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "therefore I will give praise to you among the non-Jews, and sing to your name."
Again he says, "Rejoice, you nations, with his people."
Again, "Praise the Lord, all you nations. Let all the peoples praise him."
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲏⲥⲁⲏⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲑⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲓⲉⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the peoples; in him will the nations hope."
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϩ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲧⲟⲗⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲑⲣⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲫⲱϣⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏ ⲃ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲫⲱⲣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲥϣⲏⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲥⲧⲟⲩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the non-Jews, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the non-Jews might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϧⲏ ⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲱⲃ.
For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the non-Jews, by word and deed,
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲕⲱϯ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲗⲩⲣⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲙⲁϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲛϯ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ.
And in this way I desire to preach the Good News where Christ was not known, that I might not build on another's foundation.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲏ ⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲕⲁϯ.
But, as it is written, "Those who were not told about him, they will see, and those who have not heard, they will understand."
Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ϯⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲓⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲧⲫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
whenever I journey to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩϯⲙⲁϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲭⲁⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩϯⲙⲁϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲥⲉ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲉⲙϣⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the non-Jewish people have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲕϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲣ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ.
When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30 ⲗ̅ ϯϯϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲁⲅⲱⲛⲓⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲓ ϩⲁ ⲫϯ.
Now I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲁⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲥϣⲏⲡ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ.
that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;
that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
