< Philippians 4 >

1 So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in [the] Lord, beloved.
ⲁ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ. ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲕⲗⲟⲙ. ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ.
2 I exhort Euodia, and exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in [the] Lord;
ⲃ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲉⲩϩⲟⲇⲓⲁ. ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲧⲩⲭⲏ. ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
3 yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names [are] in [the] book of life.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲥⲩⲍⲩⲅⲉ ⲡϩⲁⲕ ϯⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲕⲗⲏⲙⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅·
4 Rejoice in [the] Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
ⲇ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϯϫⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁϣⲉ.
5 Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord [is] near.
ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲕ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ
6 Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅. ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲓⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲉⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅·
8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲛ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
9 What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲃⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧⲟⲩ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅·
10 But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think [of me], but lacked opportunity.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ.
11 Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me I have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϯⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲱϣⲉ.
12 I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟ. ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϯϫⲟⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲉⲥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲕⲟ. ⲉⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϣⲱⲱⲧ.
13 I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϯϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲁⲓ̈.
14 But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲁⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ.
15 And know also ye, O Philippians, that in [the] beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated [anything] to me in [the] way of giving and receiving save ye alone;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲏⲥⲓⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱ(ⲛⲉⲓ) ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯ ϩⲓϫⲓ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
16 for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲏ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲁⲭⲣⲓⲁ.
17 Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡϯ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟϣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ.
18 But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϯⲙⲉϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲣⲟⲇⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲥϯⲛⲟⲩϥⲉ. ⲟⲩⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲥϣⲏⲡ ⲉⲥⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
19 But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
20 But to our God and Father [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ· (aiōn g165)
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who [are] with me salute you.

22 All the saints salute you, and specially those of the household of Caesar.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
