4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)

5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,

7 To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ ϩⲣⲱⲙⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.

9 For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you

10 Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you.

11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲟⲩⲉϣⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲓⲉϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.

13 Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲕⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲁⲉⲓⲁⲧ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲓⲉϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲉϣⲱϫⲡ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲃⲁⲣⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ ϩⲣⲱⲙⲏ
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛϯϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ
17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲙⲛⲧϣⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ
19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
20 For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse: (aïdios g126)
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϥⲡⲉⲑⲏⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲉⲩⲛⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲧⲉ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲱ (aïdios g126)
21 Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲣⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲣⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ
22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲣⲥⲟϭ
23 For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϣⲓⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϩⲓ ϩⲁⲗⲏⲧ ϩⲓ ⲧⲃⲛⲏ ϩⲓ ϫⲁⲧϥⲉ
24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥⲱϣ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
25 Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲓⲃⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϣⲙϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲙⲁⲙⲁⲁⲧ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲏϣ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲁⲩϣⲓⲃⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲉⲩⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ
27 And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲩⲕⲉϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲙⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲩⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲭⲩⲙⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧϣⲃⲉⲓⲱ ⲙⲡⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
28 For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,

29 Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,

32 Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.
