< Romans 12 >
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your intelligent service.
ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϣⲁⲛϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲥⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲥⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn )
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙϫⲓϩⲣⲃ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡϩⲣⲃ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ (aiōn )
3 For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.
ⲅ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲙϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲉ ⲉⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲱϣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
4 For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲙⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
5 thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
ⲉ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
6 But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether [it be] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
ⲋ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡϣⲓ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
7 or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;

8 or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:

10 as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:

11 as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.

12 As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:

13 distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲡⲏⲧ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲛ ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲣⲥϩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲟⲩ
15 Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲓⲙⲉ
16 Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:

17 recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:

18 if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;

19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.

20 If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
