Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲕⲟⲡⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
ⲅ̅ϯϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲙⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
ⲇ̅ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲟⲡⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
ⲉ̅ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲏⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϥⲛⲁϫⲟⲕϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
ⲍ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲣⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲥⲩⲅⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϣⲁⲛϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲁⲓⲥⲑⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲃⲃⲏⲩ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϯ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲩⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲣⲣⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲧⲏⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲛⲁⲙⲣⲣⲉ ⲥⲉⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲁϫⲛ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲱ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲫⲑⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩϯⲧⲱⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲛⲁⲩ ⲥⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲁⲙⲣⲣⲉ
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲟⲉⲓϭⲉ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲥⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
ⲕ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲁϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲓϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϥⲛⲁⲁⲓⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲁⲙⲟⲩ
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲩ ⲡⲉ
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲁϣ ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲧⲡϥ ⲛϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲥⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϥⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡϭⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ
27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲅⲱⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϫⲱϥ
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
