2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲛ ⲁⲛ.
2 but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

3 and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,

4 in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (aiōn g165)
ⲇ̅ⲉⲛ ⲟⲓⲥ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲉ. (aiōn g165)
5 for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus — Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
ⲉ̅ⲛⲁⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ.̅.
6 because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

8 on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

10 at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,
ⲓ̅⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲛϥⲁⲓ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲱⲛϧ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
11 for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ⲥⲉϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲱⲛϧ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ.
12 so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
13 And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, 'I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϥⲉⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ.
14 knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,

15 for the all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲓϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲉⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
16 wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
17 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us — (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅⳿ⲡ⳿ⲁⲥⲓⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
18 we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] age-during. (aiōnios g166)
