2 Corinthians 5
1 Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. (aiōnios g166)
ⲁ̅ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ 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)
2 For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲛⲁϣⲁϩⲟⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉϣϯ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ
3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲕⲏⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ
4 So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲛⲁϣⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲉⲩⲃⲁⲣⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϫⲙⲡ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲕⲁⲁⲛ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϯ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⲙⲡⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲱⲛϩ
5 And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲏⲃ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ
6 Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕ ϭⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲛⲙⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ
8 We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲛⲧⲏⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϩⲛⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
9 So we aspire to please Him, whether we are here in this body or away from it.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲧⲛⲣⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲙⲡⲉϥⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.
ⲓ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ
11 Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲛⲡⲓ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ
13 If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲡⲱϣⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲡⲱϣⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ ⲉϥⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲁⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲣⲁ ⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲙⲟⲩ
15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲱⲛϩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ
16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϩⲟⲧⲡⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲧⲡ
19 that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛϥⲱⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲧⲡ
20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲛⲟ ϭⲉ ⲛϥⲁⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲱⲧⲡ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
