Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
ⲁ̅ⲧⲟ ⲗⲟⲓⲡⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϭⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ.
2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
ⲃ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩϩⲱⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲃⲓ.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
ⲅ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲉⲃⲓ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲑⲏⲛ ⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲛ.
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
ⲇ̅ⲕⲉⲡⲉⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁ⳿ϩⲑⲏϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ.
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲃⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲏ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲧⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲙⲓⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲃⲣⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϩⲉⲃⲣⲉⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ.
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲭⲟϩ ⲁⲓϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲣⲓⲕⲓ.
7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛϩⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲥⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲅⲉ ϯⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏ ⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲟⲥⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϯⲟⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲗⲉⲃϣ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲉⲙϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϫⲉⲙⲧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
ⲓ̅ⲉⲑⲣⲓⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲓϣⲓⲃϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲓϭⲓ ⲓⲉ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲁⲓϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯϭⲟϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲁϩⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13 Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲥⲱⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲛⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲓϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲃⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲣⲏϯ ⲡⲁⲓⲭⲉⲧ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ϭⲱⲣⲡϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲫⲟϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓⲙⲓ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲓϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲩϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲓⲡⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
ⲕ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙ⳿ⲙⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲥϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
