Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with them that heard.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲕⲁⲓⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
For we which have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he hath said somewhere of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;
and in this [place] again, They shall not enter into my rest.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ·
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁϥⲡⲣϫ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯⲛ̅ϣⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
he again defineth a certain day, saying in David, after so long a time, Today, as it hath been before said, Today if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϥ.
For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ·
Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ϥⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲟ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲉϥϫⲱⲧⲉ ϣⲁⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲣⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲗⲧⲕⲁⲥ. ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ.
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲉϥϩⲏⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲥⲉϭⲟⲗⲡ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲛ·
And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲁϥϫⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ
Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϥ̅ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϫⲟⲛⲧ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϣⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ·
For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ.
Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help [us] in time of need.
