Paul, an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah according to the commandment of God our Saviour and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah our hope,
2 ⲃ̅ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲁⲕ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲙϫⲓϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲓϣϥⲱ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϫⲱⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲏ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϯ ⲛϩⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥⲧⲃⲃⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲙⲛϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
9 ⲑ̅ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϫⲁϩⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲃⲏⲧ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥⲥⲉϣⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲥⲉϣⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥϩⲉⲧⲃ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 ⲓ̅ ⲛⲙⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲙⲛ ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲉⲧ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥⲱⲣⲕ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲙⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛϫⲁⲧ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲇⲓⲱⲕⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲥⲱϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲙ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲩϣⲟⲣⲡ
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧϩⲁⲣϣϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōnios g166)
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲧⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲁ ϯⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲉϩⲟⲕⲕ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
20 ⲕ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϩⲩⲙⲉⲛⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲁⲗⲉⲝⲁⲛⲇⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
