Hey all,

I'm writing a thesis, and I would like to include God in my acknowledgments. I feel like I cannot *not* include Him. At the same time, I don't know if I want to do it in English. It's sort of more between Him and me, and I don't want anyone to use that against me.

But I want to include it in Coptic. That way, it's there, and if anyone would like to know, they'll ask me, and I'll tell them what it's about.

How would you say something like,

"My utmost gratitude is to God, my Father."

Or, if you only know a simpler way of saying it, like "my thanks are to God", etc., that's fine too!

The sooner you can answer, the better!! Very Happy

Thanks!

Guest, it would be
Pasep`hmot `nerhouo sop `ejen Vnou] paiwt . The more common Coptic phrase is }sep`hmot `ntotk Vnou] paiwt which means "I thank you, God my Father." I don't know if that is what you are trying to say. If you need more help, let me know.
