Coptic New Testament
1For the rest therefore, brethren, we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us, how you ought to walk, and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.
1ⲗⲟⲓⲡⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲥⲉ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲑⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ.
2For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.
2ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲏ ⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
3For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that you should abstain from fornication;
3ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ϯⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ.
4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour:
4ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϫⲫⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ.
5Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:
5ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲕⲉⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲁⲛ.
6And that no man overreach, nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before, and have testified.
6⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲓϣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ.
7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification.
7ⲛⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲑⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ ϭⲱϧⲉⲙ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ.
8Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us.
8ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
9But as touching the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you: for yourselves have learned of God to love one another.
9ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
10For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more:
10ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲧⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ.
11And that you use your endeavour to be quiet, and that you do your own business, and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that you walk honestly towards them that are without; and that you want nothing of any man’s.
11⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
12And we will not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope.
12ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲃⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣ⳿ⲭ ⲣⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ.
13For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.
13⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
14For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept.
14ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲫϯ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
15For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first.
15ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲫⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ.
16Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord.

17Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.
