1 ⲁ̅ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲟⲩⲛⲅ ⲛϭⲓϫ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲟⲩⲉ (aiōnios g166)
For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲛⲁϣⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲉⲩⲃⲁⲣⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϫⲙⲡ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲕⲁⲁⲛ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϯ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⲙⲡⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲱⲛϩ
For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
10 ⲓ̅ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲛⲡⲓ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ
We are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
For the love of Messiah constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Messiah after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.
Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus (the) Messiah, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛϥⲱⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲧⲡ
namely, that God was in Messiah reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Messiah, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God.
For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
