ⲄⲀⲖⲀⲦⲎⲤ 5

1 ⲁ̅ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁϥⲁⲁⲛ ⲛⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁ ⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲁϩⲃⲉϥ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧϩⲙϩⲁⲗ

Christ has set you free with freedom, Therefore stand, and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage.

2 ⲃ̅ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ

Behold I Paul say unto you, that, if you may be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 ⲅ̅ ϯⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲃⲃⲏⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ

And again I witness to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ

You have been divorced from Christ, whosoever are justified by law: you have fallen from grace.

5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ

For we through the Spirit do await the hope of righteousness through faith.

6 ⲋ̅ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛⲥⲃⲃⲉ ϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails anything; but faith working through divine love.

7 ⲍ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲉ

You were running well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?

8 ⲏ̅ ⲡⲉⲓⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ

The persuasion is not of the one calling you.

9 ⲑ̅ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲑⲁⲃ ⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣⲙ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϥⲓ

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲧⲏⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉϭⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁϥⲓ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲓⲙⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ

I have confidence in reference to you in the Lord, that you shall be none otherwise minded: but the one troubling you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he may be.

11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲉⲓⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲉⲓ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ

But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? then the offence of the cross would be done away.

12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ϩⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϭⲱϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ

I would that those troubling you shall indeed cut themselves off.

13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ

For you were called unto liberty, brethren; only use not the liberty unto an occasion to the flesh, but through divine love serve one another.

14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲕϩⲉ

For the whole law has been fulfilled in one word, in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor with divine love as thyself.

15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲗⲱⲕⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϭⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲱϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ

But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you may not be consumed one of another.

16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲕⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ

And I say, Walk about in the Spirit, and do not perfect the lust of carnality.

17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲥⲉϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲩ

For carnality wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against carnality; for these are antagonistical to one another; so that you may not do the things which you may wish.

18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲓⲁ ⲛϫⲱϩⲙ ⲛⲥⲱⲱϥ

But the works of carnality are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, debauchery,

20 ⲕ̅ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥⲣⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲛⲕⲱϩ ⲛϭⲱⲛⲧ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲱⲣϫ ⲛϩⲁⲓⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ

idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, divisions, heresies,

21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲗⲁ ⲛϯϩⲉ ⲛϫⲏⲣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉϯϣⲣⲡ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϣⲣⲡ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲧⲙⲛⲧϩⲁⲣϣϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ

But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲣⲁϣ ⲧⲉⲅⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϯⲟⲩⲃⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ

meekness, holiness; against such things there is no law.

24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ

But those belonging to Christ Jesus have crucified carnality with the passions and lusts.

25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲟⲛϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲛⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ

Let us not be fond of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
