ⲚⲒⲢⲰⳘⲈⲞⲤ 4
What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N(K)O*) of us according to [the] flesh?
If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward (*k*) God.
What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to (*k*) debt;
To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.
just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;
blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N(k)O*) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.

[Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k*) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.
How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲑⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϫⲓⲛⲧⲟⲩⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ϩⲓ ⲛⲓϣⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ.
and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k*) uncircumcision (of the *k*) faith of the father of us Abraham.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k*) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ.
If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;
For law wrath brings; where (now *N(k)O*) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ.
Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲭⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲡ.
even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲱⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϯⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϥ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲣ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲕⲉⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲧⲣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲣⲁ.
And not having become weak in the faith (not *K*) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,
About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God
and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;
Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.
Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,
who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
