1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
2ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲛⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲱⲡ ϣⲱⲡⲓ..
2On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
3ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅..
3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲉⲑⲣⲓϣⲉ ϩⲱ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ..
4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
5ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲉⲛⲥ..
5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
6ⲧⲁⲭⲁ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲟϩⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲣϯ⳿ⲫⲣⲱ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲧⲫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ..
6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7⳿ⲛϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲫⲙⲱⲓⲧ ϯⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ..
7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ϯⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ..
8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ..
9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
10⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲧ⳿ϭⲛⲉ ϩⲟϯ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱ..
10If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.
11⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲟϣϥ ⲙⲁϯ ⲫⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ϯⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ..
11No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
12ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲓϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧⲉⲩⲕⲉⲣⲓⲁ..
12Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
13ⲣⲱⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ϭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉⲙⲛⲟⲙϯ..
13Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
14ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ..
14Do everything in love.

15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
16ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧϧⲟⲥⲓ..
16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17ϯⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲟⲣⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲭⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϭⲣⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲕⲣⲱϥ..
17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
18ⲁⲩϯ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ..
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
19ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲩⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲣⲓⲥⲓⲕⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲓ..
19The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
20ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲣⲓⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲫⲓ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲃ..
20All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21ⲡⲁⲁⲥⲡⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲁϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ..
21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
23⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ..
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
