Galatians 5
1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁϥⲁⲁⲛ ⲛⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁ ⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲁϩⲃⲉϥ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧϩⲙϩⲁⲗ
2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ
3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
ⲅ̅ϯⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲃⲃⲏⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ
4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
ⲑ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲑⲁⲃ ⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣⲙ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϥⲓ
10 I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲉⲓⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲉⲓ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ
12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϭⲱϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ
13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲕϩⲉ
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲗⲱⲕⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϭⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲱϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲕⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲥⲉϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲩ
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
