Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me, indeed, is not irksome, and for you it is safe.
ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲥⲉϩⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ.
2 Beware of the snarlers, beware of evil workers, beware of the excision;
ⲃ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲣ. ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛⲓⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
3 for we are the circumcision, who worship God in spirit, who glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,
ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
4 Though indeed, I have a ground of confidence in the flesh, if any other thinks he has a ground of confidence--I have more.
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩⲧⲏⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ϥⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏϥ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;
ⲉ̅ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲉϩϣⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ. ⲧⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲛⲃⲉⲛⲓⲁⲙⲉⲓⲛ. ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲙ̅ⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ.
6 with respect to zeal, persecuting the congregation; with respect to righteousness by law, I was blameless.
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲓ̈ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ.
7 But the things which were gain to me, those I have counted loss for Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲩ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲉⲟⲥⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
8 Yes, indeed, on this account, also, I count all things loss, for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord; (for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do account them mere refuse, that I may gain Christ,
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲱⲡ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲟⲥⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϯⲟⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
9 and be found in him, not having my righteousness by law, but that which is through the faith of Christ--the righteousness which is from God on account of this faith)--

10 that I might know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death;
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲓⲥⲉ. ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲣⲃ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
12 Not that I have already laid hold, or have already become perfect; but I press on, that, indeed, I may lay hold on that, for which, also, I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲓ. ⲏ̅ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ϯⲡⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have laid hold of the prize; but one thing I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth toward the things before,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲁϩⲟ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲡⲱⲃϣ̅ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲱⲣϣ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲑⲏ.
14 I press on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God, by Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲥⲕⲟⲡⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
15 Let us, then, as many as would be perfect, be thus minded; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal even this to you.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁϭⲟⲗⲡϥ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
16 Moreover, let us walk in conformity to what we have attained.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲁϩⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
17 Brethren, be imitators of men, and consider attentively those who walk so, as you have us for an example.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ.
18 (For I have often told you, and now tell you, even weeping, that many walk as the enemies of the cross of Christ;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲓⲙⲉ. ⲛ̅ϫⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetites, whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

20 But we are citizens of heaven, whence, also, we earnestly expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ;

21 who will transform our humbled body into a like form with his glorious body, according to the energy of his power, even to subject all things to himself.
