1 ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϭⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲧⲟϣⲥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ

Now concerning the collection for the saints, you must do just as I instructed the congregations in Galatia.

2 ⲃ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲕⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϥⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϭⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ

On the first day of the week, each of you should set something aside, saving up as he is being prospered, that there be no collections when I come.

3 ⲅ̅ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲓⲉϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ

And when I arrive, I will send whomever you approve by letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

4 ⲇ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ

But should it be fitting that I go as well, they will go with me.

5 ⲉ̅ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ

Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am coming through Macedonia).

6 ⲋ̅ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲧⲉⲡⲣⲱ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲑⲡⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ

And perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even winter, that you may send me on my way, wherever I go.

7 ⲍ̅ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ

I do not wish to see you now just in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

8 ⲏ̅ ϯϭⲉⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ⲧⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ

So I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost,

9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ

because a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

10 ⲓ̅ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϫⲛ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϩⲉ

Now if Timothy should come, see to it that he may be with you without fear, because he does the Lord's work just as I do.

11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲥⲟϣϥ ⲙⲁⲑⲡⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ ϯϭⲱϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ

Therefore no one should despise him; but send him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; I am expecting him along with the brothers.

12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ

Now about brother Apollos: I repeatedly urged him to go to you with the brothers, but he just did not want to go at this time; he will go whenever he has an opportunity.

13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲙϭⲟⲙ

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ

Do all you do in love.

15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ

Now brothers, you know that the household of Stephanas is the firstfruits of Achaia and that they have really devoted themselves to ministering to the saints,

16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛϣⲃⲣⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϩⲟⲥⲉ

so I urge you to submit to such people, to all the fellow-workers and laborers.

17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲫⲟⲣⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲁⲭⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲉⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ

I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they have supplied;

18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩϯ ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲁⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲱⲧⲛ ⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ

for they refreshed my spirit and yours; so give recognition to such men.

19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲁⲕⲩⲗⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲣⲓⲥⲕⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲏⲉⲓ

The congregations of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the congregation in their house, greet you warmly in the Lord.

20 ⲕ̅ ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ

All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲁⲥⲡⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲉⲓϥ ⲛⲧⲁϭⲓϫ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ

I, Paul, personally sign this greeting.
