< Romans 6 >

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ ⲧⲁⲣⲛϭⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ
2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
ⲃ̅ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲛϩ ϫⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
ⲅ̅ⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ
4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲙⲥⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲛⲱⲛϩ
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϣⲃⲣⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲕⲉⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉϣⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲣⲙⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲛⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲥⲟⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϥⲟⲛϩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϭⲉ ⲣⲣⲣⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ
13 Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲛϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
14 For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲣϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϩⲣⲟϥ ϭⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲛⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ
16 Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲏ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ
17 But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲏⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ
20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
ⲕ̅ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ
21 What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϣ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏ ⲧⲛⲉϥ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ
22 But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōnios g166)
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
