< Colossians 3 >

1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
ⲁ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲧⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
ⲃ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲧⲡⲉ. ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲛ.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲏⲡ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ·
4 When Christ, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲉⲛⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲡⲉ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
ⲉ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ. ⲧⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ. ⲡ̅ⲡⲁⲑⲟⲥ. ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ.
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
ⲍ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲛϩ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈.
8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ. ⲡϭⲱⲛⲧ̅. ⲧⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ. ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲗⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,
ⲑ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ.
10 and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲛⲧϥ̅.
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲓⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ϩⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲃⲁⲣⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ. ⲥⲕⲩⲑⲏⲥ. ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
12 Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯ ϭⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲡⲗⲁⲭⲛⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲁⲛϩ̅ⲧⲏϥ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also do.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲓⲕⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲣⲓⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to God.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲯⲁⲗⲙⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲱⲇⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲏ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲁⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅·
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ·
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲗⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as people-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲁⲩⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲣⲉϥⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ·
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
