2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲑⲏⲧ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
ⲃ̅ϯⲕⲱϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
ⲅ̅ϯⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡϩⲟϥ ⲉⲝⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲛ̅ⲉⲩϩⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.

5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.

7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
ⲍ̅ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲓ̈ⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲓⲥⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲛϫⲏ.
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲩⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲟⲯⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲉⲓϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲉϩϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲡⲁϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲟⲕϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲓ̈ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϩⲣⲟϣ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲁϩⲁⲣⲉϩ.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲱϫⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲗⲓⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ.
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognized just like us.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϯⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲟⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉϭⲱϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉϣⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲉ. ϩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲉ. ⲉⲩϫⲓϩⲣⲃ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϣⲁϥϫⲓϩⲣⲃ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉϥⲕⲉⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϫⲓϩⲣⲃ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲩϩⲁⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲑⲏⲧ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲛ ϣⲟⲡⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲑⲏⲧ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏⲙ.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲑⲏⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.

20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
ⲕ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲝⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲕⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲓ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲟ.
21 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.

23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.

24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.

25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.

26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;

28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.

31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)

32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
