| 4:1 | Τέκνον, τὴν ζωὴν τοῦ πτωχοῦ μὴ ἀποστερήσῃς, καὶ μὴ παρελκύσῃς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπιδεεῖς. |
| 4:2 | ψυχὴν πεινῶσαν μὴ λυπήσῃς, καὶ μὴ παροργίσῃς ἄνδρα ἐν ἀπορίᾳ αὐτοῦ. |
| 4:3 | καρδίαν παροργισμένην μὴ προσταράξῃς, καὶ μὴ παρελκύσῃς δόσιν προσδεομένου. |
| 4:4 | ἱκέτην θλιβόμενον μὴ ἀπαναίνου, καὶ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσαωπόν σου ἀπὸ πτωχοῦ. |
| 4:5 | ἀπὸ δεομένου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς ὀφθαλμόν, καὶ μὴ δῷς τόπον ἀνθρώπῳ καταράσασθαί σε· |
| 4:6 | καταραωμένου γάρ σε ἐν πικρίᾳ ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, τῆς δεήσεως αὐτοῦ ἐπακούσεται ὁ ποιήσας αὐτόν. |
| 4:7 | προσφιλῆ συναγωγῇ σεαυτὸν ποίει, καὶ μεγιστᾶνι ταπείνου τὴν κεφαλήν σου. |
| 4:8 | κλῖνον πτωχῷ τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ ἀποκρίθητι αὐτῷ εἰρηνικὰ ἐν πρᾳύτητι. |
| 4:9 | ἐξελοῦ ἀδικούμενον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος, καὶ μὴ ὀλιγοψυχήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνειν σε. |
| 4:10 | γίνου ὀρφανοῖς ὡς πατήρ, καὶ ἀντὶ ἀνδρὸς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῶν· (11)καὶ ἔσῃ ὡς υἱὸς Ὑψίστου, καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε μᾶλλον ἢ μήτηρ σου. |
| 4:11 | Ἡ σοφία υἱοὺς ἑαυτῇ ἀνύψωσεν, καὶ ἐπιλαμβάνεται τῶν ζητούντων αὐτήν. |
| 4:12 | ὁ ἀγαπῶν αὐτὴν ἀγαπᾷ ζωήν, καὶ οἱ ὀρθρίζοντες πρὸς αὐτὴν ἐμπλησθήσονται εὐφροσύνης· |
| 4:13 | ὁ κρατῶν αὐτῆς κληρονομήσει δόξαν, καὶ οὗ εἰσπορεύεται, εὐλογήσει Κύριος· |
| 4:14 | οἱ λατρεύοντες αὐτῇ λειτουργήσουσιν ἁγίῳ, καὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτὴν ἀγαπᾷ ὁ κύριος· |
| 4:15 | ὁ ὑπακούων αὐτῆς κρινεῖ ἔθνη, καὶ ὁ προσελθὼν αὐτῇ κατασκηνώσει πεποιθώς. |
| 4:16 | ἐὰν ἐμπιστεύσῃς, κατακληρονομήσεις αὐτήν, καὶ ἐν κατασχέσει ἔσονται αἱ γενεαὶ αὐτοῦ· |
| 4:17 | ὅτι διεστραμμένως πορεύεται μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν πρώτοις, (19)φόβον δὲ καὶ δειλίαν ἐπάξει ἐπʼ αὐτόν, καὶ βασανίσει αὐτὸν ἐν παιδίᾳ αὐτῆς, ἕως οὗ ἐνπιστεύσῃ τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ· καὶ πειράσει αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν αὐτῆς· |
| 4:18 | καὶ πάλιν ἐπανήξει κατʼ εὐθεῖαν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εὐφρανεῖ αὐτόν, (21)καὶ ἀποκαλύψει αὐτῷ τὰ κρυπτὰ αὐτῆς. |
| 4:19 | ἐὰν ἀποπλανηθῇ, ἐγκαταλείψει αὐτόν, καὶ παραδώσει αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας πτώσεως αὐτοῦ. |
| 4:20 | Συντήρησον καιρὸν καὶ φύλαξαι ἀπὸ πονηροῦ, (²⁴)καὶ περὶ τῆς ψυχῆς σου μὴ αἰσχυνθῇς· |
| 4:21 | ἔστιν γὰρ αἰσχύνη ἐπάγουσα ἁμαρτίαν, καὶ ἔστιν αἰσχύνη δόξα καὶ χάρις. |
| 4:22 | μὴ λάβῃς πρόσωπον κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σου, (27)καὶ μὴ ἐντραπῇς εἰς πτῶσίν σου. |
| 4:23 | μὴ κωλύσῃς λόγον ἐν καιρῷ σωτηρίας· |
| 4:24 | ἐν γὰρ λόγῳ γνωσθήσεται σοφία, καὶ παιδεία ἐν ῥήματι γλώσσης. |
| 4:25 | μὴ ἀντίλεγε τῆ ἀληθεία, καὶ περὶ τῆς ἀπαιδευσίας σου ἐντράπητι· |
| 4:26 | μὴ αἰσχυνθῇς ὁμολογῆσαι ἐφʼ ἁμαρτίαις σου, (32)καὶ μὴ βιάζου ῥοῦν ποταμοῦ. |
| 4:27 | καὶ μὴ ὑποστρώσῃς σεαυτὸν ἀνθρώπῳ μωρῷ, καὶ μὴ λάβῃς πρόσωπον δυνάστου. |
| 4:28 | ἕως τοῦ θανάτου ἀγώνισαι περὶ τῆς ἀληθείας, καὶ Κύριος ὁ θεὸς πολεμήσει ὑπέρ σοῦ. |
| 4:29 | μὴ γίνου τραχὺς ἐν γλώσσῃ σου, καὶ νωθρὸς καὶ παρειμένος ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις σου. |
| 4:30 | μὴ ἴσθι ὡς λέων ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου, καὶ φαντασιοκοπῶυ ἐν τοῖς οἰκέταις σου. |
| 4:31 | μὴ ἔστω ἡ χείρ σου ἐκτεταμένη εἰς τὸ λαβεῖν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδόναι συνεσταλμένη. |

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.
