2 Corinthians 6
1 As workers together with God we also plead with you not to make your acceptance of God's grace worthless.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲏ·
2 Just as God said, “At the right time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I rescued you.” Believe me: now is the right time! Now is the day of salvation!
ⲃ̅ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉϥϣⲏⲡ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ. ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϣⲏⲡ. ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϫⲁⲓ̈
3 We don't put anything in anyone's way that would trip them up, making sure the work we do won't be criticized.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲛ̅ϯ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲥⲉϣϥ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ.
4 Instead we try to demonstrate we are good servants of God in every way we can. With a great deal of patience we put up with all kinds of trouble, hardship, and distress.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲥ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ· ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲗⲱϫϩ̅·
5 We have been beaten up, thrown into prison, and attacked by mobs. We have been worked to the bone, suffering sleepless nights and hunger.
ⲉ̅ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲏϣⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ· ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲓⲥⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩϣⲏ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲓ̈ⲥ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ·
6 We demonstrate who we are by living blameless lives in the knowledge of God, with a great deal of patience, being kind and filled with the Holy Spirit, showing sincere love.
ⲋ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲁϫⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ.
7 We speak truthfully, living in the power of God. Our weapons consist of what is true and right; we attack with our right hand and we defend with our left.
ⲍ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲙⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϩⲃⲟⲩⲣ.
8 We continue whether we are honored or dishonored, whether we are cursed or praised. People call us frauds but we tell the truth.
ⲏ̅ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱϣ. ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲩ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ.
9 We are disregarded, even though we are well-known; given up for dead, but we're still alive; lashed, but not killed.
ⲑ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲃϣ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲛϩ̅. ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
10 Seen as miserable, we are always rejoicing; as poor, but we make many rich; as destitute, but we own everything!
ⲓ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲛⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ. ⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅·
11 I've been speaking bluntly, my Corinthian friends, loving you with a big heart!
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲏⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲓⲟⲥ. ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϣⲥ̅.
12 We haven't kept our love from you, but you have kept your love from us.

13 Please respond in the same way, as if you were my children, and be big-hearted!
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϣⲃⲉⲓⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲉⲕⲉ. ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ· ⲟⲩⲱϣⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
14 Don't join together with people who don't believe—for what connection does goodness have with wickedness? What do light and darkness have in common?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲁϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲉⲧⲟⲭⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ.
15 How could Christ and the Devil ever agree? How could a believer and an unbeliever share together?
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲥⲩⲙⲫⲱⲛⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲃⲉⲗⲓⲁⲣ. ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲉⲣⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ.
16 What compromise could the Temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

17 “So leave them, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch anything that is unclean, and I will accept you.”

18 “I will be like a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
