1ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ.
1What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
2Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
3ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
3Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4ⲁⲩⲕⲟⲥⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ.
4We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
5ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲕⲉ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
5For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.
6ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲡⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲁϣϥ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ.
6We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲙⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
7For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
8ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲛ.
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
9ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
10ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ϥⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
10The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
11ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲱⲛϧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ.
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
13ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲇⲓⲕⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲟⲛϧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
13Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
14⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
15ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
16ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
16Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?
17⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϣⲏⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
17But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
18ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
19ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϭⲱϧⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ.
19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
20ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
20For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
21ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲉⲛⲁϥϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲧϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.
21What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
22ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲉ.
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.
23ⲛⲓⲟⲯⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪
23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
