Now we that are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves:
but let every one of us please our neighbor for his good, to his edification.

For Christ also pleased not himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me."

For whatever things were written heretofore, were written for our instruction; that we through patience and the consolation of the scriptures might have hope.
And may the God of patience and consolation grant you the like mutual affection to each other, according to the example of Christ Jesus:
that with one mind and one mouth ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ hath received us, to the glory of God.
8 ⲏ̅ ϯϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϫⲉⲭⲁⲥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟϯ.
Now Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the manifestation of the truth of God, to confirm the promises made 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 Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this cause will I celebrate Thee among the Gentiles, and sing praises unto thy name."
And again he saith, "Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people."
And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye nations, praise Him, all ye people."
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲏⲥⲁⲏⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲑⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲓⲉⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
And again Esaias saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and one that shall rise to rule over the Gentiles: in Him shall the Gentiles trust."
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 the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope through the power of the holy Spirit.

And I myself am indeed persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that ye are full of goodness, being filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲧⲟⲗⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
However, I have written to you, brethren, somewhat the more freely, in reminding you of your duty; because of the favor bestowed upon 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 the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, administring the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Spirit.
I have therefore matter of glorying in Christ Jesus, as to the things of 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 shall not go about to speak of any thing, but what Christ hath wrought by me, (to gain the obedience of the Gentiles, ) both in 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.
through the efficacy of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round as far as to Illyricum, I have fully declared the gospel of Christ:
20 ⲕ̅ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲛϯ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ.
being studious however so to preach the gospel, not where Christ had been named, least I should build upon another man'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, They, to whom nothing was said concerning Him, shall see, and they who have not heard, shall understand.
And thus I have been much hindered from coming to you:
but now having no more to detain me in these parts, and having had a great desire for many years to come to you, when I take my journey into Spain, I will 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.
for I hope to see you as I pass by, and to be brought forward by you on my way thither, after I have first had some enjoyment of you.
But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩϯⲙⲁϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲭⲁⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
For the Macedonians and Achaians have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor saints at Jerusalem.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩϯⲙⲁϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲥⲉ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲉⲙϣⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
It pleased them, I say, and they are indeed their debtors; for if the Gentiles have partook of their spiritual things, they ought also to be helpful to them in carnal ones.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲕϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲣ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ.
Therefore when I have dispatched this, and sealed this fruit of love to them, I will come by you into Spain.
And I know that when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel 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 beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye earnestly strive together with me in prayers to God for me;

that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea; and that this my service at Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints:
that I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
