2 Timothy 2
1 So then, my son, grow strong in the grace of Christ Jesus.
ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
2 Take what you heard me say in front of many witnesses and share it with those who are trustworthy, who then can teach others as well.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ·
3 Suffer together with me like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
ⲅ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
4 A soldier on active duty doesn't get caught up in the business of everyday life. He wants to please the one who enlisted him.
ⲇ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲧⲁϩϥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈.
5 Similarly athletes who compete in the games don't win a prize if they don't keep to the rules.
ⲉ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ̅ϣⲟⲉⲓϫ. ⲙⲉϥϫⲓⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛϥ̅ⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ.
6 The farmer that does all the hard work should be the first to benefit from the crop.

7 Think about what I'm telling you. The Lord will help you to understand all this.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
8 Focus your mind on Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, who was raised from the dead. This is my good news,
ⲏ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲁⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
9 and I'm suffering imprisonment because of it as if I were a criminal—but the word of God is not imprisoned.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϯϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲛⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲏⲣ ⲁⲛ.
10 Despite all this I'm willing to keep on going for the sake of God's people so that they may gain the salvation of Christ Jesus that is eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯϥⲓ ϩⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲓ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ· (aiōnios g166)
11 This is a trustworthy saying: “If we died with him, we will also live with him;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ
12 if we keep going, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱϥ
13 If we are not trustworthy, he is still trustworthy, for he cannot be untrue to himself.”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲡⲏ ⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ.
14 This is what you should remind people about, telling them before God that they shouldn't have meaningless arguments over words. To do this only harms those who listen.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲉⲕⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅·
15 Make sure you work hard so you can present yourself to God and gain his approval. Be a worker that doesn't need to be embarrassed, using the word of truth correctly.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲁϩⲟⲕ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲙⲉϥϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲉϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
16 Avoid pointless chatter because people who do this are heading away from God.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ.
17 Their teachings are as destructive as gangrene that destroys healthy flesh. Hymenaeus and Philetus are like this.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲙⲟⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲅⲁⲅⲅⲣⲁⲓⲛⲁ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϩⲩⲙⲉⲛⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲫⲓⲗⲏⲧⲟⲥ.
18 They have deviated from the truth by saying that the resurrection has already happened, which has ruined some people's trust in God.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲁⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲉ. ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱ ⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ.
19 But God's solid, trustworthy foundation stone stands firm, with this inscription, “The Lord knows those who belong to him,” and “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord should stay away from all that is evil.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ̅ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ. ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
20 A stately home doesn't just have cups and bowls made of gold and silver. It also has ones made from wood and clay. Some are made for special use; others for more commonplace functions.
ⲕ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲕⲉⲩⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ (ⲛ̅ⲏⲓ̈) ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϣⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲃⲗ̅ϫⲉ. ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ. ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱϣ.
21 So if you get rid of what is evil, you will become a cup or bowl that is holy and special, useful to the Lord, ready to do all that's good.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ϭⲉ ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϯⲙⲏ ⲉϥⲧⲃⲃⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉϥⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ·
22 Run away from anything that fires up the desires of youth. Run after what is right and trustworthy, run after love and peace along with those who are true and pure Christians.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲡⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅(ⲟⲩ)ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
23 Avoid foolish and childish debates, for you know they only lead to fights.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲩϫⲡⲉⲙⲓϣⲉ.
24 For the Lord's minister must not fight, but be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲛ̅ϣϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲓϣⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϥ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ. ⲉϥⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ.
25 gently correcting opponents. Perhaps God may help them to come to repent and to understand the truth.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
26 In this way they may come to their senses and escape the devil's trap. For he has captured them and made them do whatever he wants.
