Coptic: τμντhηκε δε ννενsαjε hεjhωj .
English: only the poverty of our speech afflicteth us,
Coptic: ετβεπαι εαν νhεννοc τνναπαρακαλει μμωτν ετρετετνjι νhενκουι .
English: only the poverty of our speech afflicteth us, and for this reason we appeal to you to accept a very little instead of very much.
Coptic: εsωπε δε ερsανουα jι νhενκουι . νfουωsσ εβολ μπουροτ μπεfhητ . ειε τνναsωπε αν ενsαατ .
English: Now if it be that (each) one (of you) who accepteth the very little, will amplify it by the ready will of his heart, then we shall be (found to be) lacking in nothing whatsoever,
Coptic: ερεπετνουροτ jωκ εβολ . μπμεροσ ετνsαατ μμοf .
English: and such portion as we lack our own ready mind shall make complete.
Coptic: και γαρ νεπροσφορα ετcοjf μπhηκε μννετουοsσ εβολ μπρμμαο .
English: Now as concerning the little offerings brought by the poor man, and the large offerings of the rich man,
Coptic: ερsανπνουτε ναυ εροου sαfsοπου εροf hνουταειο εfsηs .
English: when God looketh upon them He receiveth them to Himself with equal honour,
Coptic: η μεsακ fναται ενανhηκε νhουο . εβολ jεεfcωsτ επουροτ μπhητ . αυω επαsαι αν ννεχρημα .
English: nay, perhaps He inclineth more to the gifts of the poor man, for He looketh upon the willingness in the heart rather than upon the abundance of the things offered.
Coptic: ταποδηξισ cε νναι μαρεσsωπε νητν εβολ hιτμπsαjε ντεχηρα νhηκε . ται εντασνουjε μπλεπτον σναυ επκαζοφυλακιον .
English: Let the proof of these words, moreover, be to you through the words of the poor widow, who threw two lepta into the treasury,
Coptic: απταειο γαρ ντεπροσφορα νται αιαι hατμπjοεισ . νhουε επνουβ εντανρμμαο ντf εhουν .
English: for the honour of this offering was far greater in the sight of God than the gold which the rich men gave.
Coptic: jεενερεπνουτε ρχρεια αν μπνουβ . αλλα νουhητ εfουααβ . μνουπροhαιρεσισ εσσουτων hμππετνανου .
English: For God hath need not of gold, but of the pure heart, and of the upright purpose which is disposed towards that which is good.
Coptic: αυεισ cε τενου hωων τνουεsσ πενhητ εβολ hμπτββο .
English: Now therefore we ourselves will enlarge our hearts in sincerity
Coptic: αυω ντνεινε εhουν μπsαjε μπνουτε . ντνκααf νανου . ντνοjf επεσητ εhενκαζοφυλακιον . μψυχικον . ετρενtνητν μπεταρον .
English: and we will bring this address as (an offering) to God, and will set it aside and cast it into the spiritual treasury, and (thus) shall we discharge our debt (of a discourse) to you.
Coptic: tειρε γαρ μπμεευε jεαιερητ νητν νσαf . εκυρυσσε ντμντjωωρε ντσοφροσυνη νσουσαννα . ταρεναι sωπε νhηυ νhαh . ντhε νταπαγων νιωσηφ hντεfμντhακ μντεfcινμιsε ωφελει νhαh .
English: For I recall to my mind that I made the promise which I made to you yesterday that I would preach concerning the fortitude and prudence of Susanna, because [this subject] would be of very great advantage to many, just as the [story of the] fight of Joseph in his chastity and in his contending is of very great benefit to man.
Coptic: μαρεσ αγωνιζε cε τενου νcισουσαννα hωωσ hμπεθεατρον ετμεh μμηηsε .
English: Let, moreover, Susanna fight now as in a theatre which is filled with the multitude.
