2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲓ ⲁⲛ.
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲣ̅ⲕⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ϩⲟⲃⲥ̅. ⲉϥϩⲟⲃⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
ⲇ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. (aiōn g165)
5 For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
6 seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲁϣⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲣ̅(ⲟⲩ)ⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁϩⲟ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲃⲗ̅ϫⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧϭⲟⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ·
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
ⲏ̅ⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉϫϩⲱϫ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲟⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲣⲓ ⲁⲛ.
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲕⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ. ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲛ
10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛϥⲓ ϩⲁⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲥⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅·
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ.
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲁϩⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲁⲥⲁϣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲥⲉⲧⲁϣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
16 Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲓϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲣ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ.
17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲃⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ϥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
18 while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲉ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉ· (aiōnios g166)
