ⲄⲀⲖⲀⲦⲎⲤ 5
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Messiah has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Messiah will profit you nothing.
Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
You are alienated from Messiah, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
For in Messiah Yeshua neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲧⲏⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉϭⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁϥⲓ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲓⲙⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ
I have confidence towards you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgement, whoever he is.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲉⲓⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲉⲓ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ
But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”
But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲥⲉϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲩ
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲗⲁ ⲛϯϩⲉ ⲛϫⲏⲣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉϯϣⲣⲡ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϣⲣⲡ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practise such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Those who belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
