Romans 6
1 So what's our response? Should we continue to sin so we can have even more grace?
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ ⲧⲁⲣⲛ̅ϭⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ.
2 Of course not! Since we're already dead to sin, how can we continue to live in sin?
ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲛϩ̅ ϫⲓⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅·
3 Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
ⲅ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
4 Through baptism we were buried with him in death so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father we too can live a new life.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲙⲥⲛ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲱⲛϩ̅.
5 If we've become one with him in dying like he did, then we'll be raised like him too.
ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϣⲃⲣ̅ⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲕⲉⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ.
6 We know that our old self was crucified with him to dispose of the dead body of sin so that we wouldn't be enslaved by sin any longer.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉϣⲧ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ.
7 Anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ·
8 Since we died with Christ, we have confidence that we will also live with him,
ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ.
9 for we know that because Christ has been raised from the dead he won't ever die, because death has no longer any power over him.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲥⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲟ ⲛ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
10 In dying, he died to sin once and for all, but now he lives, and he lives for God!
ⲓ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ. ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 In just the same way you should consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God through Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅·
12 Don't let sin have control over your mortal body, don't give in to its temptations,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϭⲉ ⲣ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ.
13 and don't use any parts of your body as evil tools of sin. Instead dedicate yourselves to God as those who have been brought back from death to life, and use all parts of your body as tools to do something good for God.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
14 Sin won't rule over you, because you're not under law but under grace.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲣ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ.
15 So then, should we sin because we're not under law, but under grace? Of course not!
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϩⲣⲟϥ ϭⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ·
16 Don't you realize that if you make yourselves someone's slaves, obeying their orders, then you are slaves to the one you obey? If you are slaves of sin, the result is death; if you obey God, the result is you are made right with him.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ. ⲏ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
17 Thank God that though you once were slaves to sin, you whole-heartedly chose to follow the truth about God that you learned.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲏⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
18 Now that you've been freed from sin, you've become slaves of doing what is morally right.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
19 I'm using this everyday example because your human thinking is limited. Just as you once enslaved yourselves to immorality, piling up sin upon sin, now you must enslave yourselves to what is pure and right.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅· ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ. ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲛ̅ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ.
20 When you were slaves to sin you were not required to do what's right.
ⲕ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
21 But what were the results back then? Aren't you ashamed of the things you did? Such things that lead to death!
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϣ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛⲉϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ. ⲑⲁⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ.
22 But now that you're set free from sin, and have become God's slaves, the results will be a pure life—and in the end, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
