2 John 1
1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲉⲕⲗⲉⲕⲧⲏ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ [ⲙⲛ̅]ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲓⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
5 And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ. ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
ⲏ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲣⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
9 Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲣ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲙ̅ϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ.
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲥⲃⲱ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲏⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲉ.
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲉ. ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ.
12 I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ϯϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲧⲏⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϩⲓⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
