Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
1.4
ϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲣϩ ⲛϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
1.5
ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲟⲣϩ ⲛⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲡⲗⲱⲥ ⲛϥϣⲱϣϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
1.6
ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛϥⲟⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲃⲁⲛ ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲃⲁϥⲟⲓ ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲛⲓϫⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲑⲏⲟⲩ ϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
1.7
ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲑⲣⲉϥⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉϥⲛⲁϭⲓ ϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡϭⲟⲉⲓⲥ
For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
1.8

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
1.9

But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
1.10
ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲙⲁⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲉϥⲑⲉⲃⲓⲟ ϫⲉⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲣⲏⲣⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲓⲛⲓ
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
1.11
ⲁϥϣⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲣⲏ ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲓⲕⲁⲩⲥⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧϣⲟⲩⲓⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉϥϩⲣⲏⲣⲓ ⲁⲥϥⲟⲣϥⲉⲣ ⲡⲥⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲙⲁⲟ ⲛϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲁⲗⲱⲙ
For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
1.12
ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ ϥⲛⲁϭⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲏ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧϥ .
Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
1.13
ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲑⲣⲉ ϩⲗⲓ ϫⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ϥⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛϩⲁⲛⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ϥⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲛϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ
Let no man say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God,' for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
1.14
ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲙⲓⲛⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲥⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲥⲥⲟⲡⲥⲉⲡ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
1.15
ⲓⲧⲁ ϯⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲁⲥϣⲁⲛⲉⲣⲃⲟⲕⲓ ϣⲁⲥⲙⲉⲥ ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁϥϫⲫⲟ ⲙⲫⲙⲟⲩ .
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
1.16
ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲥⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ
Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1.17
ⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲛⲉⲉⲩⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϣⲓⲃϯ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩϧⲏⲓⲃⲓ ⲉⲁⲥⲥⲓⲛⲓ
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
1.18
ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁϥϫⲫⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
1.19
ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣϣ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉϥϩⲣⲟϣ ⲉϥⲛⲁϫⲱⲛⲧ
So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
1.20
ⲡϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲫⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲙⲡⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ .
for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.
1.21
ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲭⲁ ⲑⲱⲗⲉⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲡϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ϣⲉⲡ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϣϫⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲯⲩⲭⲏ
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
1.22
ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
1.23
ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲁϥϯⲛⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲙⲡϩⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲓⲛⲙⲓⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲓⲁⲗ
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
1.24
ⲁϥϯⲛⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲡⲱⲃϣ ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
1.25
ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⲥⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟϩⲓ ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲁϥⲉⲣⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲡⲱⲃϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲉⲧⲉϥⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ .
But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
1.26
ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛϥϭⲓⲭⲁⲗⲓⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲗⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲉⲫⲗⲏⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲙⲫⲁⲓ
If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
1.27
ⲡⲓϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲧⲑⲱⲗⲉⲃ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲉⲙⲡϣⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲣⲫⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲓⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲛϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲟⲩϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⲉⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲧⲁϭ ⲛⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ .
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
2.1
ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲭⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉⲛϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲉϩⲟ
My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;
2.3
ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲉⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉϯϩⲉⲃⲥⲱ ⲉⲧⲫⲟⲣⲉⲓ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲛⲑⲟⲕ ϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ϩⲱϥ ϫⲉⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ϩⲁⲙⲛⲏ ⲓⲉ ϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲫⲙⲁ ⲛⲭⲁ ⲛⲓϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ .
and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, 'Sit here in a good place;' and you tell the poor man, 'Stand there,' or 'Sit by my footstool;'
2.4
ⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲁ ⲟⲩϣⲓⲃϯ ⲛϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉϥϯϩⲁⲡ ⲛϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲉⲩϩⲱⲟⲩ
haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
2.5
ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ ⲙⲏ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲣⲁⲙⲁⲟ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲏ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧϥ
Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn't God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
2.6
ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉϣ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲓⲣⲁⲙⲁⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⲛϫⲱⲣⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉϩⲁⲛⲙⲁⲛϯϩⲁⲡ
But you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
2.7
ⲙⲏ ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡⲓⲣⲁⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ
Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
2.8

However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you do well.
2.9
ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲉϩⲟ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟϩⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ .
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
2.10
ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲉⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
2.11
ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲛⲛⲉⲕⲉⲣⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲛⲛⲉⲕϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲓ ⲛⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲕϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲕϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲕⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
For he who said, 'Do not commit adultery,' Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
2.12
ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲓⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϯϩⲁⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ
So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
2.13
ⲡⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲁⲑⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲫⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲉⲛⲡⲓϩⲁⲡ .
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
2.14

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
2.15
ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⲉⲩⲃⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲧ ⲛⲧϧⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ
And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
2.16
ⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲙⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏ ⲛⲏ ϧⲙⲟⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲧⲉⲙϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲟⲩ
and one of you tells them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled;' and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
2.17
ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲁⲣⲓ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
2.18

Yes, a man will say, 'You have faith, and I have works.' Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
2.19

You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
2.21

Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
