Galatians 5
1 stand firm then, and do not be again entangled in a yoke of bondage.
ⲁ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲟϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩⲃⲉϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲃⲱⲕ.
2 Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you.
ⲃ̅ⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲁⲛ ⲥⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲑⲏ ⲛⲟⲩ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ.
3 I solemnly testify to every man who submits to circumcision that he obligates himself to keep the whole Law.
ⲅ̅ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ.
4 If you are being justified by law, you are cut off from Christ; you are fallen away from grace.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
5 But we are not, for we through the Spirit are eagerly waiting by faith for a hope of righteousness (a hope well founded);
ⲉ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱⲥ.
6 because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.
ⲋ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲩⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
7 You were running your race nobly. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

8 The influence brought to bear does not come from him who is calling you.

9 A little leaven is leavening the whole lump.

10 As for me, I am fully trusting you in the Lord that you will be no otherwise minded; but he who is trying to unsettle you will have to bear his punishment, whoever he may be.
ⲓ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉϥϥⲁⲓ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉ.
11 But I, brothers, if I "still preach circumcision," why am I still persecuted? Then surely the stumbling-block of the Cross has ceased to be an obstacle!
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϯϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲓⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲥⲉϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲁϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
12 Would to God that those who are trying to unsettle you would even have themselves mutilated.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϫⲱϫⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom; only do not make your freedom an excuse for self-indulgence, but in love enslave yourselves to one another.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϯ ⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲁⲣⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
14 For the whole Law has been fulfilled in this one precept, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲁϥϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲣⲏϯ.
15 But if you are always biting and devouring one another, take heed lest you be utterly consumed one by another.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲗⲁⲡⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏ ⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟⲩⲛⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
16 This is my meaning. Let your steps be guided by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲕⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
17 For the desire of the flesh is against that of the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against that of the flesh, for they two are antagonistic, so that you may not do those things that you wish.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϯⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ϯⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ.
18 But if you are habitually led by the Spirit you are not under law.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such, for instance, as fornication, impurity, indecency,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ϯⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲡⲓϭⲱϧⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲱϥ.
20 idol-worship, sorcery, quarrels, party-spirit, jealousy, passionate anger, intrigues, factions, sectarianism,

21 envy, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these. I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practise such sins shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓ⳿ⲫⲑⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲛⲓⲑⲓϧⲓ ⲛⲓϣⲉⲣϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ.
22 But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control;
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲭ͞ⲣⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ.
23 against such there is no law.

24 And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites.

25 If we are living by the Spirit, let us also keep step in the Spirit.

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
