1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ.
2 to Timotheus — genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,
ⲃ̅⳿ⲛⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲓ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
3 according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus — I going on to Macedonia — that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,
ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲕϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ.
4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: —
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϯ⳿ϩⲑⲏϥ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛ⳿ϣⲃⲱ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛϫⲓⲛⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
5 And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,
ⲉ̅⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲏⲇⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲉⲧϣⲟⲃⲓ.
6 from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,

7 willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,

8 and we have known that the law [is] good, if any one may use it lawfully;

9 having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,
ⲑ̅ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲧϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲟⲩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲁϥϩⲏ ⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϧⲁⲧⲉⲃ ⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϧⲁⲧⲉⲃ ⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϧⲁⲧⲉⲃ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
10 whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,

11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

12 And I give thanks to him who enabled me — Christ Jesus our Lord — that he did reckon me stedfast, having put [me] to the ministration,

13 who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲇⲓⲱⲕⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥϯϣⲱϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
14 and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus:

15 stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners — first of whom I am;

16 but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during: (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏ ⲧ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
17 and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honour and glory — to the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,
