2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
ⲁ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲫⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲩⲥⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏ ⲣ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
2 May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
ⲃ̅⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩ⳿ⲁϣⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
3 Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲓⲛϫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ.
4 And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲟ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲫⲏ ⲧ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
5 So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ϯ⳿ⲅⲛⲱⲥⲓⲥ.
6 And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,
ⲋ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲅⲛⲱⲥⲓⲥ ϯⲉⲅ⳿ⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲅ⳿ⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ ϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯϩⲟⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ.
7 And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.
ⲍ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
8 For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
9 For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.
ⲑ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲟⲙϫⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
10 For this reason, my brothers, take all the more care to make your selection and approval certain; for if you do these things you will never have a fall:
ⲓ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲓⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲗⲁϯ ⲉⲛⲉϩ.
11 For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲥⲉϩⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏ ⲣ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅. (aiōnios g166)
12 For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲕⲉⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ.
13 And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ϯϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ.
14 For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
15 And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϯⲛⲁⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲁⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
16 For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϣϥⲱ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲃ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧϫⲟⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
17 For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ.
18 And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉⲥ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
19 And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϯ⳿ϩⲑⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϧⲏⲃⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛ ⲭⲁⲕⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϣⲁϥϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲫ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ.
20 Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.
ⲕ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲗ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
21 For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
