2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲥ· ·ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲓⲟⲩⲥ· ⲃ̅· ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
ⲅ̅ϥⲥⲙⲁⲙⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛⲧ̅ϣⲁⲛϩ̅ⲧⲏϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ.
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲥⲉⲡⲥ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟϣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϥⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲃⲁⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲕⲉⲱⲛϩ̅.
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
ⲓ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ·
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ. ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ. ⲉⲩⲉϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲡ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ.
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲛ̅ ⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲉⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲁϣϥ̅. ⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲁⲓ̈ⲭⲣⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲥⲁⲓ̈. ⲏ̅ ⲛⲉϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ·
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲗⲟⲩⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲡϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅·
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛ(ⲧⲁϥ)ⲧⲁϩⲥⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲏⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.
