< Romans 14 >
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive all of you, but not to doubtful disputations.
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧϩⲧ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ.
2 For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs.
ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲇⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲟⲧⲉ.
3 Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

4 Who are you that judge another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yea, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲕⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲙⲡⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲉ. ϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅.
5 One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ.
6 He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ϥϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself.
ⲍ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
ⲏ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛϣⲁ(ⲛ)ⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛⲛⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
9 In order to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲛϩ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ̅.
10 But why do you judge your brother? or why do you set at nothing your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ (ⲕ)ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲏ̅ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲕⲥⲱϣϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ. ⲧⲛⲁⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲉⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲕⲱⲗϫ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲉⲝⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
12 So then every one of us shall give account (logos) of himself to God.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ (ⲉ)ⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϯⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲕⲁϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ. ⲏ̅ ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲡⲓⲑⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
15 But if your brother be grieved with your food, now walk you not charitably. (agape) Destroy not him with your food, for whom Christ died.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲁⲕⲗⲟ ⲉⲕⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕϩⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲙⲉⲩⲧⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ϭⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ.
17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲥⲱ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
18 For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲙ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϥⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲡⲕⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
20 For food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offence.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲗⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲣⲟⲡ.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲁϥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲥⲉⲏⲣⲡ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲏ̅ ⲛϥ̅ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲛϥ̅ϭⲃ̅ⲃⲉ.
22 Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
23 And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eats not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
