< Titus 3 >
1 Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, to be ready to every good work,
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲣⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be quarrelsome—gentle, showing all meekness to all men,
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲙϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲉⲩⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛϩⲁⲕ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲣⲁϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
3 for we, also, were once thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving manifold desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, odious—hating one another;
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲛⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲉⲛⲟ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲩⲇⲟⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲫⲑⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲟ ⲙⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
4 and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Savior appeared
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ
5 (not by works that [are] in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness), He saved us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
ⲉ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲁⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲛⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡϫⲱⲕⲙ ⲙⲡⲉϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
6 which He poured on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior,
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ
7 that having been declared righteous by His grace, we may become heirs according to the hope of continuous life. (aiōnios )

8 The word [is] steadfast; and concerning these things I intend you to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works—who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϥⲓⲡⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲙⲡⲣⲟϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
9 but stand away from foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law—for they are unprofitable and vain.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲓϣϫⲱⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲓϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲓⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ
10 Reject a heretical man, after a first and second admonition,
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲣⲁⲓⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
11 having known that he has been subverted who [is] such, and sins, being self-condemned.

12 When I will send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛⲁⲣⲧⲉⲙⲁ ⲏ ⲧⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲡⲁ ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲉⲛⲓⲕⲟⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲧⲉⲡⲣⲱ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
13 Diligently send forth Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲍⲏⲛⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ
14 and let them learn—ours also—to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

15 All those with me greet you. Greet those cherishing us in faith. The grace [is] with you all!
