< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, in accord with the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
2 to Timothy, most beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 I give thanks to God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. For without ceasing I hold the remembrance of you in my prayers, night and day,
ⲅ̅ϯϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϯϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲓⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲱϫⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ
4 desiring to see you, recalling your tears so as to be filled with joy,
ⲇ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ. ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ.
5 calling to mind the same faith, which is in you unfeigned, which also first dwelt in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and also, I am certain, in you.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲕ̅ ⲁϫⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲗⲱⲉⲓⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲓⲕⲏ. ϯⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲥⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲕ̅.
6 Because of this, I admonish you to revive the grace of God, which is in you by the imposition of my hands.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲧⲣⲉⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕϯⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲕ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϭⲓϫ.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϭⲱⲃ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ. ϩⲓⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
8 And so, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. Instead, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God,
ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
9 who has freed us and has called us to his holy vocation, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the ages of time. (aiōnios g166)
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲉⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲧⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
10 And this has now been made manifest by the illumination of our Savior Jesus Christ, who certainly has destroyed death, and who has also illuminated life and incorruption through the Gospel.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
11 Of this Gospel, I have been appointed a preacher, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

12 For this reason, I also suffer these things. But I am not confounded. For I know in whom I have believed, and I am certain that he has the power to preserve what was entrusted to me, unto that day.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲱⲡ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ. ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲧⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
13 Hold to the kind of sound words that you have heard from me in the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 Guard the good entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.

15 Know this: that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.

16 May the Lord have mercy on the house of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me, and he has not been ashamed of my chains.

17 Instead, when he had arrived in Rome, he anxiously sought me and found me.

18 May the Lord grant to him to obtain mercy from the Lord in that day. And you know well in how many ways he has ministered to me at Ephesus.
