ⲚⲒⲢⲰⳘⲈⲞⲤ 10
BRETHREN, the kind wish of my heart indeed, and the prayer which I offer to God for Israel, is for their salvation.
For I am a witness for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and seeking to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, “That the man who doeth these things shall live by them.”
6 ⲋ̅ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣϫⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ
But the righteousness that is by faith speaketh thus, “Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
or, Who shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up again from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
But what saith it? “The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart:” that is, the word of faith which we preach;
9 ⲑ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲕⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, “Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded.”
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲱⲣϫ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.
“For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord.”
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ
How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲩⲧⲙϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
and how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!”
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed our report?”
Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁ ⲁⲣⲏϫⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ
But I say, Have they not heard? Yea verily, “the sound of their voice is gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.”
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϯⲕⲱϩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϯⲛⲁϯⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ
But I say, Did not Israel know? Moses first saith, “I will excite your jealousy by what is no nation, and by an ignorant people will I provoke you to wrath.”
20 ⲕ̅ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲛϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ
But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, “I have been found by those who sought me not; I have become manifest to those who inquired not after me.”
But unto Israel he saith, “All the day long have I stretched out my hands unto a people disobedient and contradicting.”
