1 ⲁ̅ ⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲥⲟⲗⲥⲗ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲁⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲁⲛϩ̅ⲧⲏϥ.
Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, any solace of charity, any fellowship of the Spirit, any feelings of commiseration:
2 ⲃ̅ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
complete my joy by having the same understanding, holding to the same charity, being of one mind, with the same sentiment.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϯⲧⲱⲛ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
Let nothing be done by contention, nor in vain glory. Instead, in humility, let each of you esteem others to be better than himself.
Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.
For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus:
who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲡⲱϩⲧ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲣⲫⲏ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲭⲏⲙⲁ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.
He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.
Because of this, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,
so that, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell, (questioned)
and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲉⲓϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ (ⲁⲛ). ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
And so, my most beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but even more so now in my absence: work toward your salvation with fear and trembling.
For it is God who works in you, both so as to choose, and so as to act, in accord with his good will.
And do everything without murmuring or hesitation.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲕⲉⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲩϭ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲙⲉ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
So may you be without blame, simple sons of God, without reproof, in the midst of a depraved and perverse nation, among whom you shine like lights in the world,
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲉⲉⲧ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲏ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲓϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲏ.
holding to the Word of Life, until my glory in the day of Christ. For I have not run in vain, nor have I labored in vain.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣϫⲉⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ· ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯ(ⲛⲁ)ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
Moreover, if I am to be immolated because of the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and give thanks with all of you.
And over this same thing, you also should rejoice and give thanks, together with me.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ϩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲉⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱ.
Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, in order that I may be encouraged, when I know the things concerning you.
For I have no one else with such an agreeable mind, who, with sincere affection, is solicitous for you.
For they all seek the things that are of themselves, not the things that are of Jesus Christ.
So know this evidence of him: that like a son with a father, so has he served with me in the Gospel.
Therefore, I hope to send him to you immediately, as soon as I see what will happen concerning me.
But I trust in the Lord that I myself will also return to you soon.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲣⲟⲇⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ. ⲡⲁϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁϣⲃⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈. ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲣⲓⲁ.
Now I have considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and co-worker, and fellow soldier, and an attendant to my needs, but your Apostle.
For certainly, he has desired all of you, and he was saddened because you had heard that he was sick.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ.
For he was sick, even unto death, but God took pity on him, and not only on him, but truly on myself also, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.
Therefore, I sent him more readily, in order that, by seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
And so, receive him with every joy in the Lord, and treat all those like him with honor.
30 ⲗ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉⲁϥⲛⲉϫⲧⲉϥⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈·
For he was brought close even to death, for the sake of the work of Christ, handing over his own life, so that he might fulfill what was lacking from you concerning my service.
