< Philippians 4 >

1 So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and garland, so stand in the LORD, beloved.
ⲁ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏⲧⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ.
2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the LORD;
ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲟⲇⲓⲁ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲩⲛⲧⲩⲭⲏ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲣⲱ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪.
3 and I also ask you, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who strove along with me in the good news, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names [are] in [the] Scroll of Life.
ⲅ̅ⲥⲉ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲕ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲥⲩⲛⲍⲩⲅⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲧⲕ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϭⲓϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲕⲉ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲙⲉⲛⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ.
4 Rejoice in the LORD always; again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your reasonableness be known to all men; the LORD [is] near;
ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲕⲏⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ϧⲉⲛⲧ.
6 be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
ⲋ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϥⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲧⲱⲃϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
7 and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲥ⳿ⲉⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
8 As to the rest, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as [are] revered, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, think on these things;
ⲏ̅ⲧⲟ ⲗⲟⲓⲡⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏ ⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲇⲓⲕⲉⲟⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲛⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲓ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
9 the things that you also learned, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, do those, and the God of peace will be with you.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲣⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏ ⲛⲏ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
10 And I rejoiced in the LORD greatly, that now at length you flourished again in caring for me, for which also you were caring, and lacked opportunity;
ⲓ̅ⲁⲓⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲫ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
11 I do not say that in respect of want, for I learned in the things in which I am—to be content;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ.
12 I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲉⲃⲓⲟ ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϧⲏ ⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲕⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
13 I have strength for all things, in Christ’s strengthening me;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲏⲓ.
14 but you did well, having shared in my tribulation;

15 and you have known, even you Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly communicated with me in regard to giving and receiving except you only;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲉⲙⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
16 because in Thessalonica also, both once and again you sent to my need;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲃ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲭⲣⲓⲁ.
17 not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲱⲃ.
18 and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you—an odor of a refreshing fragrance—a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲓϭⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲁⲓⲙⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲡⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲟⲇⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ ⲉϥϣⲏⲡ ⲉϥⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
19 and my God will supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

20 and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
