43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy:
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϫⲁϫⲓ.
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
45 That ye may be the children of your Father who [is] in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲣ ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲏ ϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲙⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲟϫⲓ.
46 For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁϣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲃⲉⲭⲉ ⲛⲓⲕ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲡⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲉⲑⲛⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
