< Galatians 6 >

1 My friends, if someone is led astray by sin, you who are spiritual should bring them back with a gentle spirit. Watch out that you don't get tempted too.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲡϩⲛ̅ϩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ. ⲉⲕϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ.
2 Carry each other's burdens, for in this way you fulfill the law of Christ.
ⲃ̅ϥⲓ ϩⲁⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
3 Those who think they're really something—when they're actually nothing—only fool themselves.
ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲣ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ.
4 Carefully examine your actions. Then you can be satisfied with yourself, without comparing yourself to anyone else.
ⲇ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲱⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲛ.
5 We have to take responsibility for ourselves.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϥⲓ ϩⲁⲧⲉϥⲉⲧⲡⲱ.
6 Those that are taught the Word should treat their teachers well, sharing with them all good things.
ⲋ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲕⲁⲑⲏⲕⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲁⲑⲏⲕⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ.
7 Don't be fooled, God can't be treated with contempt: whatever you sow, that's what you reap.
ⲍ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲩⲕⲟⲙϣϥ̅. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϫⲟϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲛⲁⲟϩⲥϥ̅.
8 If you sow according to your sinful human nature, from that nature you'll reap self-destruction. But if you sow according to the Spirit, from the Spirit you'll reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲱϩⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲱϩⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
9 Let's never tire of doing good, for we'll reap a harvest at the proper time, if we don't give up.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲉⲓ. ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱϩⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲥⲙ̅ ⲁⲛ.
10 So while we have time, let's do good to everyone—especially to those who belong to the family of faith.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ϩⲱⲥⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲏⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
11 Notice how big the letters are, now that I'm writing with my own hand!
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϭⲓϫ
12 Those people who only want to make a good impression are forcing you to be circumcised just so they won't be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉⲩϩⲟ ⲥⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13 Even those who are circumcised don't keep the law, but they want to have you circumcised so that they can boast about you and claim you as their followers.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through this cross, the world has been crucified to me, and I've been crucified as far as the world is concerned.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲣⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈. ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲧ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
15 Circumcision or uncircumcision doesn't matter—what matters is that we're created brand new!
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ.
16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this principle, and to the Israel of God!
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲁⲛⲱⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
17 Please, don't anyone trouble me anymore, because I carry on my body the scars of Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲉϩϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϯϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
18 My brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
