ⲚⲒⲢⲰⳘⲈⲞⲤ 8
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who are not walking according to the flesh.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin and death.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁϥⲧϭⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
For though this was impossible under the law, because it was weakened by the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and because of sin, in order to condemn sin in the flesh,
so that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us. For we are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
For those who are in agreement with the flesh are mindful of the things of the flesh. But those who are in agreement with the spirit are mindful of the things of the spirit.
For the prudence of the flesh is death. But the prudence of the spirit is life and peace.
7 ⲍ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϫⲁϫⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲥ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
And the wisdom of the flesh is inimical to God. For it is not subject to the law of God, nor can it be.
So those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅· ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲡⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
And you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if it is true that the Spirit of God lives within you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ·
But if Christ is within you, then the body is indeed dead, concerning sin, but the spirit truly lives, because of justification.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅·
But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead lives within you, then he who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also enliven your mortal bodies, by means of his Spirit living within you.
Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, so as to live according to the flesh.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉϣϫⲉϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅·
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die. But if, by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
For all those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲃⲃⲁ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
And you have not received, again, a spirit of servitude in fear, but you have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, in whom we cry out: “Abba, Father!”
For the Spirit himself renders testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ϣⲃ̅ⲣⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ.
But if we are sons, then we are also heirs: certainly heirs of God, but also co-heirs with Christ, yet in such a way that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.
For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with that future glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the anticipation of the creature anticipates the revelation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to emptiness, not willingly, but for the sake of the One who made it subject, unto hope.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ·
For the creature itself shall also be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God.
For we know that every creature groans inwardly, as if giving birth, even until now;
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ⲁϣⲁϩⲟⲙ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
and not only these, but also ourselves, since we hold the first-fruits of the Spirit. For we also groan within ourselves, anticipating our adoption as the sons of God, and the redemption of our body.
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁϩⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲛ ϥϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
For we have been saved by hope. But a hope which is seen is not hope. For when a man sees something, why would he hope?
But since we hope for what we do not see, we wait with patience.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϯ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛ̅ⲧϭⲱⲃ. ⲧⲁⲣⲛ̅ϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϥⲥⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲁϣⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲉⲩϩⲏⲡ.
And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲩϣⲧ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ·
And he who examines hearts knows what the Spirit seeks, because he asks on behalf of the saints in accordance with God.
And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲣⲡ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥϣⲣⲡ̅ⲡⲟⲣϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϣⲃⲣ̅ⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ.
For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined, in conformity with the image of his Son, so that he might be the Firstborn among many brothers.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲣⲡ̅ⲡⲟⲣϫⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ.
And those whom he predestined, he also called. And those whom he called, he also justified. And those whom he justified, he also glorified.
So, what should we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϯⲥⲟ ⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ.
He who did not spare even his own Son, but handed him over for the sake of us all, how could he not also, with him, have given us all things?
Who will make an accusation against the elect of God? God is the One who justifies;
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲧϭⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲥⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ·
who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus who has died, and who has indeed also risen again, is at the right hand of God, and even now he intercedes for us.
35 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲟⲣϫⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲗⲱϫϩ̅ ⲡⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩϩⲕⲟ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲕⲱⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲕⲓⲛⲇⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲉ.
Then who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation? Or anguish? Or famine? Or nakedness? Or peril? Or persecution? Or the sword?
For it is as it has been written: “For your sake, we are being put to death all day long. We are being treated like sheep for the slaughter.”
But in all these things we overcome, because of him who has loved us.
38 ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ ϯⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲱⲛϩ̅· ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲭⲏ· ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ· ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϭⲟⲙ.
For I am certain that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, nor the present things, nor the future things, nor strength,
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡϫⲓⲥⲉ· ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡϣⲓⲕⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲕⲉⲕⲧⲓⲥⲓⲥ. ⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲡⲟⲣϫⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ·
nor the heights, nor the depths, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
