English: For He saith, 'I do not desire the death of the sinner, but that he would turn himself from his evil way, and live'
Coptic: μνλααυ hννετμε ννσωμα . καν εfροκh hνουλιβε εhραι εjντεσhιμε ετfμε μμοσ fναsμεριτσ αν ντειhε τηρσ .
English: There is no man among those who love persons, who even if he be consumed with the madness of love for the woman who is his beloved, that can love wholly in the same manner
Coptic: ντhε ετερεπνουτε με ντεψυχη ετναμετανοει
English: as that in which God loveth the soul which repenteth.
Coptic: αυω τεντασπορνευε νhαh νσοπ . αfπροκαλει μμοσ εfjω μμοσ jεαυω αιjοοσ νασ μννσατρεσπορνευε hνναι τηρου . jεκτο εροι .
English: For though it hath committed fornication very many times, He crieth out unto it saying, ' And I spake unto her after she had committed fornication with all these (i. e., her lovers) saying, Return thou unto Me'
Coptic: ουtμινε γαρ τε τμντμαιρωμε μπνουτε .
English: For the lovingkindness of God towards man is in this wise:
Coptic: εμεfκτοf εβολ ενεh μπετναt μπεfνουοι εhουν εροf hνουμετανοια
English: He never rejecteth him that setteth forth to come to Him with repentance.
Coptic: καν εαfhε εhραι επsικ νμπετhοου . αλλα sαfσοουτν ντεfcιj εβολ ροf εfjω μμοσ jεκτοκ sααροι αυω tνασοοτκ .
English: And if he hath fallen into the ditch, and into evil, yet will He stretch out widely His hands to him saying, ' Turn thou to Me, and I will save thee'

English: And again, 'On that day wherein ye shall hear His voice, harden ye not your hearts.'
Coptic: εsjε ου νσαειν γαρ καν εσsανsωπε ετρεπετsωνε ρhητ sημ νεfsωσ μμοf .
English: Doth there exist a physician who, supposing it to be his wish to make him that is sick to recover a little, would reproach him

English: The physician doth not treat him with contempt, neither doth he award him the just retribution for his disgraceful state, but he administereth unto him the medicine with gentleness.
Coptic: ποσο μαλλον πνουτε ναγαθοσ πσαειν μμε ννενψυχη .
English: How much more then shall God, Who is in truth the Good Physician of our souls (act thus towards us)?
Coptic: μονον μπρτρενειατοοτν νσαπενουjαι μμινμμον .
English: Above all things let us not despair of our own salvation.
Coptic: και γαρ πολλακισ sαρεπsοειj hε hμπαγων επhαε νfτωουν νfjικλομ .

Coptic: αυω πματοι μννσατρευπληγη μμοf νσεθεραπευε μμοf . νfπολεμει νκεσοπ νfευδοκειμει νhουο ενετεμπουjοτου επτηρf .
English: So also is it with the soldier. After he hath been wounded (the physicians) heal him, and he wageth war again, and men consider him to be of greater value than those who have not been wounded at all.
