2 Corinthians 5
1 For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲑⲙⲟⲩⲛⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ. (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this we are crying in weariness, greatly desiring to be clothed with our house from heaven:
ⲃ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛϥⲓ⳿ⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲉⲛϭⲓϣϣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯϩⲓ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ.
3 So that our spirits may not be unclothed.
ⲅ̅ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛⲧⲏⲓϥ ϩⲓ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲉⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲃⲏϣ.
4 For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.
ⲇ̅ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲧⲉⲛϥⲓ⳿ⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲉⲛϩⲟⲣϣ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲁϣⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲓϥ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ.
5 Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.
ⲉ̅ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲁⲣⲏⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ.̅.
6 So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲡ ⲧⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲓ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
7 (For we are walking by faith, not by seeing, )
ⲍ̅ⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ.
8 We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛϯ ⲙⲁϯ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ϩⲁ Ⲡ⳪.
9 For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲡ ⲧⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲛⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ.
10 For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.
ⲓ̅ϩⲱϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϭⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃ ⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ.
11 Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϯ ⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲩⲛⲏⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ.
12 We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϯⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ.
13 For if we are foolish, it is to God; or if we are serious, it is for you.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲓϩⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲓϩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲕⲁϯ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲛⲕⲁϯ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
14 For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ.
15 And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ.
16 For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
17 So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ.
18 But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲛⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϩⲟⲧⲡⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲧⲡ.
19 That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲁϥϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ.
20 So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

21 For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
