Romans 13
1 Let every soul be obedient to higher authorities, for there is no authority unless it comes from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲏϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
2 Therefore he who resists that authority opposes the command of God; and those who oppose it will receive judgment on themselves.
ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϯ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ
3 For rulers are not a terror to good deeds, but to evil deeds. Do you desire to be unafraid of the one in authority? Do what is good, and you will receive his approval.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ
4 For he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for he does not carry the sword for no reason. For he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath on the one who does evil.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲣ ⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲕⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲥⲫⲟⲣⲓ ⲛⲧⲥⲏ ϥⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲕⲃⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ
5 Therefore you must obey, not only because of the wrath, but also because of conscience.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϣϣⲉ ⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲕⲉⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏ ⲥⲓⲥ
6 Because of this you pay taxes also. For authorities are servants of God, who attend to this very thing continually.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϯϣⲱⲙ ϩⲉⲛⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲡⲣⲟⲥⲕⲁⲣⲧⲉⲣⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓϩⲱⲃ
7 Pay to everyone what is owed to them. Tax to whom tax is due, toll to whom toll is due; fear to whom fear is due, honor to whom honor is due.

8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

9 The commandments: “Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not covet,” and if there is any other commandment also, it is summed up in this sentence: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
ⲑ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲣⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϩⲱⲧⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲕϩⲉ
10 Love does not harm one's neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.

11 Because of this, you know the time, that it is already time for you to awake out of sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡϩⲓⲛⲏⲃ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
12 The night has advanced, and the day has come near. Let us therefore put aside the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲕⲱ ϭⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲛⲧⲛϯ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ
13 Let us walk appropriately, as in the day, not in drunken celebrations or drunkenness; and let us not walk in sexual immorality or in uncontrolled lust, and not in strife or jealousy.

14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its lusts.
