This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϯϣⲣⲡ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲉⲓϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲉⲡ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲛϯⲛⲁϯⲥⲟ ⲁⲛ
As I already said while with you the second time, I now repeat in writing while absent, to those who sinned before and to all the rest: If I come again I will not spare,
3 ⲅ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
since you want proof that Christ is speaking through me—He who is not weak toward you but powerful among you
4 ⲇ̅ ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲧⲛϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ
(although He was crucified in weakness, He lives by the power of God). Now we also are weak in Him, but we will live with Him by the power of God toward you.
5 ⲉ̅ ϫⲛⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛϫⲟⲟⲩⲧ
Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you yourselves really not know that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
Well I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.
7 ⲍ̅ ϯϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲣ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲡ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲁⲛ
Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do what is right (even though we may appear to have failed).
For we cannot do anything against the Truth, but only for the Truth.
Now we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And we also pray for this, your perfecting.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲧⲁⲭⲣⲱ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ ⲁⲛ
This is why I write these things while absent, so that when present I may not have to deal harshly, according to the authority that the Lord gave me, for building up and not for tearing down.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲥⲃⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲣⲓⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
Finally, brothers, rejoice; restore each other; encourage one another; be of one mind; live in peace; and the God of the love and the peace will be with you.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the saints greet you.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
