| 3:1 | Ἐμοῦ τοῦ πατρὸς ἀκούσατε, τέκνα, καὶ οὕτως ποιήσατε, ἴνα σαωθῆτε. |
| 3:2 | ὁ γὰρ Κύριος ἐδόξασεν πατέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις, καὶ κρίσιν μητρὸς ἐστερέωσεν ἐφʼ υἱοῖς. |
| 3:3 | ὁ τιμῶν πατέρα ἐξιλάσεται ἁμαρτίας· |
| 3:4 | καὶ ὡς ὁ ἀποθησαυρίζων ὁ δοξάζων μητέρα αὐτοῦ. |
| 3:5 | ὁ τιμῶν πατέρα εὐφρανθήσεται ὑπὸ τέκνων, καὶ ὡς ὁ ἀποθησαυρίζων ὁ δοξάζων μητέρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ εἰσακουσθήσεται. |
| 3:6 | ὁ δοξάζων πατέρα μακροημερεύσει, καὶ ὁ εἰσακούων Κυρίου ἀναπαύσει μητέρα αὐτοῦ, |
| 3:7 | καὶ ὡς δεσπόταις δουλεύσει ἐν τοῖς γεννήσασιν αὐτόν. |
| 3:8 | ἐν ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου, (10)ἵνα ἐπέλθῃ σοι εὐλογία παρʼ αὐτοῦ· |
| 3:9 | εὐλογία γὰρ πατρὸς στηρίζει οἴκους τέκνων, κατάρα δέ μητρὸς ἐκριζοῖ θεμέλια. |
| 3:10 | μὴ δοξάζου ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ πατρός σου, οὐ γάρ ἐστίν σοι δόξα πρὸς ἀτιμίαν· |
| 3:11 | ἡ γὰρ δόξα ἀνθρώπου ἐκ τιμῆς πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὄνειδος τέκνοις μήτηρ ἐν ἀδοξίᾳ. |
| 3:12 | τέκνον, ἀντιλαβοῦ ἐν γήρᾳ πατρός σου, καὶ μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ· |
| 3:13 | κἂν ἀπολείπῃ σύνεσιν, συγγνώμην ἔχε, καὶ μὴ ἀτιμάσῃς αὐτὸν ἐν πάσῃ ἰσχύι σου. |
| 3:14 | ἐλεημοσύνη γὰρ πατρὸς οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται, (16) καὶ ἀντὶ ἁμαρτιῶν (17)προσανοικοδομηθήσεταί σοι· |
| 3:15 | ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως σου ἀναμνησθήσεταί σου· ὡς εὐδία ἐπὶ παγετῷ, οὕτως ἀναλυθήσονταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι. |
| 3:16 | ὡς βλάσφημος ὁ ἐγκαταλιπὼν πατέρα, καὶ κεκατηραμένος ὑπὸ Κυρίου ὁ παροργίζων μητέρα αὐτοῦ. |
| 3:17 | Τέκνον, ἐν πρᾳύτητι τὰ ἔργα σου διέξαγε, καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπου δεκτοῦ ἀγαπηθήσῃ. |
| 3:18 | ὅσῳ μέγας εἰ, τοσούτῳ ταπεινοῦ σεαυτόν, καὶ ἔναντι Κυρίου εὑρήσεις χάριν· |
| 3:20 | ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ δυναστεία τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ταπεινῶν δοξάζεται. |
| 3:21 | χαλεπώτερά σου μὴ ζήτει. καὶ ἰσχυρότερά σου μὴ ἐξέταζε. |
| 3:22 | ἃ προσετάγη σοι, ταῦτα διανοοῦ· (23)οὐ γάρ ἐστίν σοι χρεία τῶν κρυπτῶν. |
| 3:23 | ἐν τοῖς περισσοῖς τῶν ἔργων σου μὴ περιεργάζου· (25) πλείονα γὰρ συνέσεως ἀνθρώπων ὑπεδείχθη σοι. |
| 3:25 | πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐπλάνησεν ἡ ὑπόλημψις αὐτῶν, καὶ ὑπόνοια πονηρὰ ὠλίσθησεν διανοίας αὐτῶν. |
| 3:26 | καὶ ὁ ἀγαπῶν κίνδυνον ἐν αὐτῷ ἐμπεσεῖται· καρδία σκληρὰ κακωθήσεται ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων, καρδία σκληρὰ βαρυνθήσεται ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων. |
| 3:27 | καρδία σκληρὰ βαρυνθήσεται πόνοις, καὶ ὁ ἁμαρταυλὸς προσθήσει ἁμαρτίαν ἐφʼ ἁμαρτίαις. |
| 3:28 | ἐπαγωγῇ ὑπερηφάνου οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις, φυτὸν γὰρ πονηρίας ἐρρίζωκεν ἐν αὐτῷ. |
| 3:29 | καρδία συνετοῦ διανοηθήσεται παραβολήν, καὶ οὖς ἀκροατοῦ ἐπιθυμία σοφοῦ. |
| 3:30 | πῦρ φλογιζόμενον ἀποσβέσει ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐξιλάσεται ἁμαρτίας. |
| 3:31 | ὁ ἀνταποδιδοὺς χάριτας μέμνηται εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πτώσεαως εὑρήσει στήριγμα. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
