< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲡⲝ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲱ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁϥⲗⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ
2 that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲣⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲱⲛϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
3 For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:
ⲅ̅ϩⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛϫⲱϩⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛϯϩⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϫⲏⲣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϫⲁϩⲙ
4 wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:
ⲇ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϣⲛⲁ ⲛⲥⲉϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ
5 who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϯ ⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲙⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
6 For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲛⲕⲉⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:
ⲍ̅ⲑⲁⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲥϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲏⲫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ
8 above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

9 using hospitality one to another without murmuring:
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲙⲙⲁⲓ ϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁϫⲛ ⲕⲣⲙⲣⲙ
10 according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲱⲥ ⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲃⲉ
11 if any man speaketh, [speaking] as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲣ ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲧⲙϩⲟ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱⲛⲧ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ
13 but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲉⲗⲏⲗ
14 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲟϭⲛⲉϭ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϫⲓ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲫⲟⲛⲉⲩⲥ ⲏ ⲣⲉϥϩⲱϥⲧ ⲏ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲏ ⲙⲁⲓⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲡⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
16 but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲓⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲛ
17 For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲓ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲑⲁⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
18 And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ
19 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
