Coptic New Testament
1Therefore, if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God:
1ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲥⲁⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
2Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.
2ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲁⲛ.
3For you are dead; and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4When Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory.

5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is the service of idols.

6For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief,

7In which you also walked some time, when you lived in them.

8But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.

9Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with his deeds,

10And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him.

11Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all, and in all.

12Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience:

13Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also.

14But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection:

15And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful.

16Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God.

22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not serving to the eye, as pleasing men, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.
