< Romans 6 >
1 What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ ⲧⲁⲣⲛϭⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ
2 Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
ⲃ̅ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲛϩ ϫⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?
ⲅ̅ⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ
4 We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲙⲥⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲛⲱⲛϩ
5 For if we are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of [his] resurrection;
ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϣⲃⲣⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲕⲉⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ
6 knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉϣⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲣⲙⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲛⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ
7 For he that has died is justified from sin.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,
ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
9 knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲥⲟⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
10 For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϥⲟⲛϩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.

13 Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under law but under grace.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲣϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ
15 What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϩⲣⲟϥ ϭⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲛⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ
16 Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲏ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ
17 But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲏⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
18 Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.

19 I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ
20 For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness.

21 What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them [is] death.

22 But now, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios )
