1ⲡⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϩⲓⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ.
1Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϥⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϯ.
2One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

3Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
4⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⲉϥⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥ⳪ ⲓⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲉⲓ ⲉϥⲟϩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ.
4Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
5ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϯϩⲁⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧϯϩⲁⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
5One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
6ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲠ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ϥϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
6He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
7⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ.
7For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲙⲡϭ̅ ⲥ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ Ⲡ⳪.
8For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
9ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲱⲛϧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ.
9For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲕϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲕ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲕϣⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
10But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲛϧ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲗⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲕⲱⲗϫ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
11For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϥⲛⲁϯⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
12So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
13⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲁϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲭ ⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲣⲟⲡ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ.
13Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
14ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉϥϭⲁϧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏⲉⲑⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥ ϭⲁϧⲉⲙ ⳿ϥϭⲁϧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
14I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ϧⲣⲉ ⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲕⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲕ⳿ϧⲣⲉ.
15Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
16⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ.
16Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲁⲥϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲱ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲥϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏ ⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
17for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ϥⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
18For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

19So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

20Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
21ⲛⲁⲛⲉⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲥⲉ ⲏⲣⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ ϭⲓϭⲣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
21It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
22⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲭⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲛⲁϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉϥⲛⲁⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
22Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
23ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲃ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁϥϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϩⲁⲡ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲡⲉ
23But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
