Romans 13
1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲏϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲉⲧϯ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ̅.
4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on those who do what is wrong.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲣ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲉⲓⲕⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲥⲫⲟⲣⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲕⲃⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ.
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ. ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲕⲉⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with this very thing.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯϣⲱⲙ. ϩⲉⲛⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲡⲣⲟⲥⲕⲁⲣⲧⲉⲣⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓϩⲱⲃ
7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
ⲍ̅ϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲡϣⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡϣⲱⲙ. ⲡⲧⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲧⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲑⲟⲧⲉ. ⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱϥ ⲁϥϫⲉⲕⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
9 For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not give false testimony," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."
ⲑ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ. ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕϩⲱⲧⲃ̅. ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕϩⲉ.
10 Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
ⲓ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲥ. ⲡϫⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁⲡϩⲓⲛⲏⲃ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ. ⲁⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϯ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
13 Let us walk decently, as in the daytime; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and lustful acts, and not in dissension and jealousy.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲛϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲥⲁⲛⲏⲩ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϫⲏⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϯϩⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϫⲱϩⲙ̅. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲱϩ.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
