< 2 Corinthians 13 >

1 This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.
ⲁ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲃ̅ ⲓⲉ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ.
2 I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;
ⲃ̅ⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲥⲟⲡ ⲃ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱϫⲡ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ϯⲛⲁ ϯ⳿ⲁⲥⲟ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ.
3 Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:
ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⳿ⲧⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
4 For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.
ⲇ̅ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲁϣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ϥⲟⲛϧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
5 Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?
ⲉ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲣⲓⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲟⲥ.
6 But it is my hope that you will have no doubt that we are truly Christ's.
ⲋ̅ϯⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ.
7 Now our prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that it may be put to our credit, but so that you may do what is right, whatever we may seem.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲭⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲟⲥ.
8 Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.
ⲏ̅⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
9 For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete.
ⲑ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲣⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲃϯ.
10 For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ϯ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϯ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡ⳪ ⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲉⲣ ⲁⲛ.
11 Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Give one another a holy kiss.

14 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
