ⲄⲀⲖⲀⲦⲎⲤ 3
1 ⲁ̅ ⲱ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟϭϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ
O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth — before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?
2 ⲃ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲏ ⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
this only do I wish to learn from you — by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?
so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?
so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you — by works of law or by the hearing of faith [is it]?
according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;
know ye, then, that those of faith — these are sons of Abraham,
8 ⲏ̅ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲕ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham —
'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,
10 ⲓ̅ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ
for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed [is] every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law — to do them,'
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'
and the law is not by faith, but — 'The man who did them shall live in them.'
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϣⲟⲡⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲉ
Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'
that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
Brethren, as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉ
and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲧⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲥϥⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
for if by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant [it].
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟϣϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ
Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator —
and the mediator is not of one, and God is one —
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
the law, then, [is] against the promises of God? — let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲩϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.
And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,
so that the law became our child-conductor — to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,
and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,
for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϩⲓ ϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲙⲛ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓ ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;
and if ye [are] of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise — heirs.
