< Colossians 3 >
1 If then God has raised you with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
ⲁ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲥⲁⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
2 Think about the things above, not about the things on earth.
ⲃ̅ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲁⲛ.
3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲱⲛϧ ϩⲏⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
4 When Christ appears, who is your life, then you will also appear with him in glory.

5 Put to death, then, the members that are on earth—sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.
ⲉ̅ⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ϯⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲡⲓϭⲱϧⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲑⲟⲥ ϯⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲉⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧϣⲁⲙϣⲉ ⳿ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ.
6 It is for these things that the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
7 It is in these things that you also once walked when you lived in them.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲱⲛϧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ.
8 But now you must get rid of all these things—wrath, anger, evil intentions, insults, and obscene speech from your mouth.
ⲏ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲙⲃⲟⲛ ϯⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ ⲡⲓϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old man with its practices,
ⲑ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲃⲁϣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲡⲣⲁⲝⲓⲥ.
10 and you have put on the new man that is being made new in knowledge according to the image of the one who created it.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϯ ϩⲓ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲉⲣⲃⲉⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲧϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲛⲧϥ.
11 This is where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman, but Christ is all, and is in all.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲃⲁⲣⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲥⲕⲩⲑⲟⲥ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
12 Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

13 Bear with one another. Be gracious to each other. If someone has a complaint against someone else, forgive in the same way that the Lord has forgiven you.

14 Above all these things, have love, which is the bond of perfection.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. It was for this peace that you were called in one body. And be thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ live in you richly. With all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through him.

22 Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh in all things, not with eyeservice as people pleasers, but with a sincere heart. Fear the Lord.
