1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ.
2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,
ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲗ̅ⲗⲟ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲟⲣϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟϫ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ.
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,
ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲗ̅ⲗⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ.
4 that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,
ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉⲛ̅ϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ. ⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ̈. ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲛⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ.
5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲃⲏ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲧⲉϣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ. ⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛ ϣⲏⲙ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
7 In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

8 and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟϫ. ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲕⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲛ ϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ. ⲉⲩⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲁⲛ.
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲉϩⲉⲡⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ. (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
