1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
1ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ.
2May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
2⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
3ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
4We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
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.
5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
5ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲕⲉ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
6ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲡⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲁϣϥ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ.
7For he who has died has been freed from sin.
7ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲙⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
8But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
8ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲛ.
9knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
9ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
10For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
10ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ϥⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
11Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲱⲛϧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
12Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
12⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ.
13Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
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.
14For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
14⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
15ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ.
16Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
16ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
17But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
17⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϣⲏⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
18Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

19I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
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.
20For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
20ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
21What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

22But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
