I indeed, beloved, write unto you this second epistle; in which I stir up your pure mind by remembrance:
2 ⲃ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲣ̅ⲡϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles:
3 ⲅ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲏⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
knowing this first, that at the last days mockers will come forth in scoffing, walking according to their own lusts,
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ϫⲓⲛⲧⲁⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅.
and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the day when the fathers fell asleep, all things remain as from the beginning of creation.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲏⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
For they willingly forget this, that the heavens were in the olden time, and the earth standing out of the water and through the water, by the word of God;
by which the world at that time, being flooded with water, perished:
7 ⲍ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ̅. ⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ.
but now the heavens and the earth have been kept according to the same word, being reserved for fire in the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϩⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
But let not this one thing be forgotten, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲱⲥⲕ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲥⲕ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣϣ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲉⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some people count slackness; but is long-suffering for your sakes, not wishing that any should perish, but all come to repentance.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ. ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements being scorched up will be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it will be burnt up.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲓⲉ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness,
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements being scorched up are melted?
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
But, according to his promises, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, wherein righteousness dwells.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ. ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧϫⲱϩⲙ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ.
Therefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and blameless unto him in peace:
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲉⲛⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ.
and consider the longsuffering of the Lord's salvation; as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom which was given unto him has written unto you;
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲩϭⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϭⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
as also in all his epistles, speaking in the same concerning these things; in which there are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unestablished wrest, as they also do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ. ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲣ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ.
Then you, beloved, foreknowing watch, lest, having been led away by the delusion of the ungodly, you may fall from your own stedfastness:
The World is Destroyed by Water
