2 John 1
1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲗⲉⲕⲧⲏ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ

3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲓⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ
5 And now I ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲛ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲉⲣⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
ⲏ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲣⲙ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲃⲏⲕⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
9 Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲣ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛϥⲧⲙϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ
10 If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϥⲧⲙⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲣϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲣϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲉ
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.

12 Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲛϯ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϩⲓ ⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.
