Coptic New Testament
1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
1ϯϯϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲛϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
2for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.
2⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲥⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲉϥϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
3This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
5ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
6who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

7For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.
7ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲭⲁⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯ ϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
8Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
8ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲩϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ.
9Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
9ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲉⲩϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲥⲟⲣϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϫⲫⲓⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϩⲱⲗⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲙⲏⲓ ⲓⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛϥ.
10but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
10ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲱϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲑⲉⲟⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ.
11A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

12I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
12ϯⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲥⲉⲣϫⲱϫ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥ ϭⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ.
13For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
13ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲗⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲓⲧⲁ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲁ.
14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
14ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
15Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
