1As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is necessary.

2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

3For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.

4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
4ⲕⲉⲡⲉⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁ⳿ϩⲑⲏϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ.
5Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee:
5ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲃⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲏ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲧⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲙⲓⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲃⲣⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϩⲉⲃⲣⲉⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ.
6According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
6ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲭⲟϩ ⲁⲓϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲣⲓⲕⲓ.
7But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
7ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛϩⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲥⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
8Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ:
8ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲅⲉ ϯⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏ ⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲟⲥⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϯⲟⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲗⲉⲃϣ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲉⲙϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
9And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith:
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϫⲉⲙⲧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,
10ⲉⲑⲣⲓⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲓϣⲓⲃϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
11If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
11ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
12Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.
12ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲓϭⲓ ⲓⲉ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲁⲓϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯϭⲟϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲁϩⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,
13ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲥⲱⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲛⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ.
14I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.
14ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲓϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲃⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.
15ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲣⲏϯ ⲡⲁⲓⲭⲉⲧ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ϭⲱⲣⲡϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
16Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.
16⳿ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲫⲟϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
17Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.

18For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ;
18ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓⲙⲓ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲓϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
19Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.

20But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,

21Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
