1⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
1When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲛⲁϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
2and He began to teach them, saying:
3⳿ⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
3“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
13⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲩ ⲗⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲙⲟⲗϩϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϥ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϩⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
13You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⲭⲱⲡ ⲉⲥⲭⲏ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩ.
14You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϩⲟⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϯ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
18⳿ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲓⲱⲧⲁ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲗϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲓ.
18For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19ⲫⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲃⲉⲗ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲛⲁ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
19So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20ϯϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲑⲁ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
20For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
22⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲕⲏ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁⲕⲁ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲟϫ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϯⲅⲉⲉⲛⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ.
22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell.
23⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲭⲛⲁ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲕⲓ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ.
23So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ.
24leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27⳿ⲁⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲉⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲉⲣⲛⲱⲓⲕ.
27You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϫⲓⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲕⲏⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ.
28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲃⲁⲗ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⲉⲣ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲫⲟⲣⲕϥ ϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲥⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϯⲅⲉⲉⲛⲛⲁ.
29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲕϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⲉⲣ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ϫⲟϫⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲥⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϯⲅⲉⲉⲛⲛⲁ.
30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

31It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
32⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϫⲫⲉ ⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲏⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲱⲓⲕ.
32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲉⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩϣ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
33Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’
34⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲱⲣⲕ ϩⲟⲗⲱⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ⲡⲉ.
34But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
35ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲙⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲑⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲧⲉ.
35or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲡ ⳿ⲛϥⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲃϣ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲁⲙⲉ.
36Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
37ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁϩⲁ ⳿ⲁϩⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.
37Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
38⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϫϩⲓ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϫϩⲓ.
38You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
39⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲣ ⲛⲁⲕ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲟⲩ⳿ⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⲫⲉⲛϩ ϯⲭⲉϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
39But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;
40ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϭⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉⲉⲗ ⲧⲉⲕ⳿ϣⲑⲏⲛ ⲭⲁ ⲡⲉⲕⲉⲣϣⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁⲓ.
40if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;
41ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϭⲓⲧⲕ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲃⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲓⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲃ̅.
41and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϫⲁϫⲓ.
43You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’
44⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
