< 2 Corinthians 7 >

1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲉⲛϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
ⲃ̅ϣⲟⲡⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ϥⲉϭⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲉⲓⲧϭⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϯϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅. ϯⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅·
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲧⲛⲉⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲉⲛⲙⲓϣⲉ ϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ. ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲓϩⲟⲩⲛ.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲏⲩ. ⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ.
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
ⲍ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲓⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱϩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲓⲣ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲣ̅ϩⲧⲏⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲉⲓϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲥⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
ⲑ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲣ̅ϩⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲧⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲉⲉ(ⲓ)ⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲃⲁ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ.
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϥⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲁⲧⲏϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
