2 Corinthians 13
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
ⲁ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲏ̅ ϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ. ⲉⲣⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅·
2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
ⲃ̅ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϯϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲉⲓϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁϯⲥⲟ ⲁⲛ.
3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
ⲉ̅ϫⲛ̅ⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϫⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
6 But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.
ⲋ̅ϯⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛϩⲉⲛϫⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ.
7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.
ⲍ̅ϯϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲁⲛ.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
ⲏ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲧⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
ⲑ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϭⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ.
10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ϯⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲧⲁⲭⲣⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ̅ ⲁⲛ·
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
