Titus 1
1 Paul a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for promoting the faith of God's chosen people, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness:
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ

3 and hath in his own times manifested his word, by the preaching, with which I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

4 to Titus my son in the common faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest set in order what remained, and ordain elders in every city as I directed thee:
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲕⲁⲁⲕ ϩⲛ ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲕⲉⲥⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϩⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
6 to wit, if any one be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of debauchery, or unruly.

7 For a bishop must be blameless as the steward of God, not self-willed, not passionate, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain:
ⲍ̅ϣϣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲓⲥⲕⲟⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲩϭⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲥⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϭⲛⲁⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϯϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϣⲥϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁⲓϩⲏⲩ ⲛϣⲗⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
8 but hospitable, benevolent, sober, just, holy, temperate;

9 holding fast the faithful word, according as he hath been taught, that he may be able both to instruct in sound doctrine, and to convince gainsayers.

10 For there are many disorderly persons, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision; whose mouths must be stopped:
ⲓ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲧⲁⲕⲉ ϩⲏⲧ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ
11 who subvert whole families, teaching what they ought not, for shameful gain:

12 as said one of themselves, a prophet of their own, "The Cretans are always liars, mischievous beasts, sluggish gluttons."
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲉⲛⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ϩⲉⲛϩⲏ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲥϥ ⲛⲉ
13 This testimony is true: for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be found in the faith;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲡⲓⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
14 not attending to Jewish fables, and the precepts of men who turn away from the truth.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲕⲱ ⲛϩⲧⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲉⲛϣϥⲱ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲧⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ
15 To the pure indeed all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience is polluted.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲁϩⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲕⲉϩⲏⲧ ⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ
16 They profess to know God, but in works deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every thing that is good void of understanding.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲥⲉϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛϫⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
