1 Timothy 6
1 Let, as many as are servants under a yoke, be counting, their own masters, worthy, of all honour, lest, the name of God and the teaching, be defamed.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲁϩⲃⲉϥ. ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ.
2 They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting: —
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩϩⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛⲉⲧϭⲟⲗϫ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ.
3 If anyone doth otherwise teach, and doth not adhere to healthful discourses—those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching that is, according to godliness,
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲧϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ.
4 He is beclouded, knowing, nothing, rightly, but is diseased about questionings, and word-battles—out of which spring envy, strife, defamations, wicked surmising,
ⲇ̅ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲓϭ ⲉϩⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϯⲧⲱⲛ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲟⲩⲫⲑⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϯⲧⲱⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ.
5 incessant quarrellings of men wholly corrupt in their mind and bereft of the truth, —supposing godliness to be, a means of gain!
ⲉ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲁⲕⲏⲩⲧ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁⲩϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
6 Now it is a great means of gain—godliness, with a sufficiency of one’s own;
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱϣⲉ·
7 For, nothing, brought we into the world, neither, to take anything out, are we able; —
ⲍ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
8 And, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content;
ⲏ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲣⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲑⲃ̅ⲥⲱ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲣⲱϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
9 But, they who are determined to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful covetings, the which, sink men into ruin and destruction, —
ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲟⲣϭⲥ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ⲃⲟⲟⲛⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲱⲙⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲣⲙ̅.
10 For, a root of all the vices, is the love of money, which, some, being eager for, have been seduced from the faith, and have pierced, themselves, about with many pangs.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲓ̈ϩⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲉⲛϣⲥ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ.
11 But, thou, O man of God! from these things, flee! and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲱ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲡⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ. ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲑⲩⲡⲟ(ⲙⲟ)ⲛⲏ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ.
12 Be contesting the noble contest of the faith, —lay hold of the age-abiding life—unto which thou wast called, and didst make the noble confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲅⲱⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲅⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ϭⲟⲗϫⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ· (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge thee, before God, who engendereth life in all things, and Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, witnessed the noble confession,

14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, free from reproach, until the forthshining of our Lord Jesus Christ—

15 Which, in its own fit times, the happy and only Potentate will shew—the King of them that reign, and Lord of them that wield lordship,

16 Who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, —Whom no man hath seen—nor can see: unto whom, be honour and might age-abiding. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Upon them who are rich in the present age, lay thou charge—not to be high-minded, nor to have set their hope on, riches’, uncertainty, —but on God, who offereth us all things richly for enjoying, (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲟⲗⲁⲩⲥⲓⲥ. (aiōn g165)
18 To be doing good, to be rich in noble works, to be, generous in giving, ready for fellowship, —
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲣ̅ⲡ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ. ⲉⲣ̅ⲣⲉϥϯ. ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲕⲟⲥ.
19 Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life [which is life] indeed.

20 O Timothy! that which hath been entrusted, do thou guard, avoiding the profane pratings and oppositions of falsely named knowledge, —

21 Which, some professing, concerning the faith, have missed the mark! Favour be with you.
