English: Verily if every part of me was to become a tongue I should not be able to do honour to thee in a manner suitable to the ten thousands of virtues which thou dost possess ; and moreover, as for the mite which we are able to cast into the treasury, it is thy grace alone which hath prepared it for us.
Coptic: τνσοουν γαρ jεντρχρεια αν μπενλασ . ετcοjβ ετρενjω εροκ νhενκουι νsαjε νεγκωμιον . εβολ jεερεπεκπολυτευμα . hνμπηυε . καταπsαjε μπλασ . μπεσtνουfε παυλοσ jεανον δε . ερεπενπολυτευε μαh νμπηυε . πμα ετνcωsτ εβολ hητf 
English: For we know well that thou hast no need of our feeble tongue to utter these few words of encomium, because thy citizenship is in the heavens, according to the words of the tongue of sweet odour, that is to say, Paul, (who said), 'As for us, our citizenship is in heaven, the place for which we wait'.
Coptic: αλλα μαρνjεhενκουι ετβεππετουααβ . ευεοου μπνουτε .

English: Now, pay ye strict attention to the words (which I am about to say), for then ye will marvel, and will give glory to God Who performed these great and wonderful things by His holy man, even as God worked a miracle for Israel in times of old by Moses, to whom He said, 'Raise thy rod, smite the rock, and the water shall gush forth so that the people may drink.
Coptic: ται ον τε τhε μπειμα .
English: Now this was what happened in this case also
Coptic: ντερεfβωκ δε ον επεfμα νhωπ ανοκ hω νειμοοsε νμμαf πε . ανcω δε hμπμα ετνhηπ νhητf . ανρουμηηsε νhοου hμπμα ετμμαυ . αυω απκουι μμοου ωjν ντοοτν τηρf παι ετsοjπ ναν . αιjοοσ δε μπαειωτ jεμνκεμοου sοοπ ναν 
English: And when he had departed to his hiding-place I myself went with him, and we remained in that place wherein we had hidden ourselves, and when we had passed several days in that place the very little water which remained to us came to an end, Fol. and I said unto my father, 'We have no water left'

Coptic: σμντσ αιλο ειοβε .
English: the natural condition of my mind hath returned to me, and I cease to thirst
Coptic: αfουωsβ δε πεjαf ναι jεεsjεακθλιβε ντειhε νhοου σναυ . ειε ουηρ . νθλιψισ νετhιjννετhμπεγνωφοσ . ναμντε μνπfντ νατνκοτκ . μνπκακε ετhιβολ . μνπειρο νκωhτ . ετσωκ hιτhη μπεκριτησ μμε . παι ετουναδοκιμαζε μμον ννhητf .
English: And he answered and said unto me, ' If thou losest thy reason in this manner after two days (of thirst), how very much more severe is the tribulation which hath come upon those who are in the darkness of Amente, with the worm which never sleepeth, and the outer darkness, and the river of fire which floweth before the Righteous Judge, by 'Whom we shall be tried?'
Coptic: αληθωσ παsηρε . ουhοτε μνουστωτ πε hε εhραι ενcιj μπνουτε ετονh .

Coptic: ντεριβωκ επμα ετερε νοργανον νhητf . thομολογει νητν ναμεραατε ντhοτε ετνναει εhραι εροσ τηρν .
English: For when I had gone to the place wherein the water-vessels were—I confess to you, O my beloved, to (feeling) the doubt which would have come upon all of us—
Coptic: jεαιhε εροου ευμηh μμοου . εhραι ερωου ερεπευμοου ουοβs ντhε νουερωτε . μνουχιων ευhολc ντhε νμμοου νγηων παι εττηh
