2 Corinthians 7
1 Dear friends, since we have these promises, we should wash ourselves clean from all that makes both body and spirit dirty, aiming for complete holiness out of reverence for God.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲓⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲧⲃⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲛϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ϩⲛ ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
2 Please accept us as your friends! We haven't done anyone wrong, we haven't corrupted anyone, and we haven't taken advantage of anyone.
ⲃ̅ϣⲟⲡⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲛϫⲓ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲛϥⲉϭ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ
3 I'm not saying this to condemn you—as I already told you, you mean so much to us that we live and die together with you!
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲉⲓⲧϭⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲱⲛϩ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ
4 I speak up very strongly for you because I am so proud of you. You are such an encouragement to me. I am so happy for you despite all our troubles.

5 When we arrived in Macedonia we didn't have a minute's peace. We were attacked from every direction, with external conflicts and inner fears.
ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϫⲓ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲧⲛⲉⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲓϣⲉ ϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲓϩⲟⲩⲛ
6 Even so, God who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us with Titus' arrival.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲑⲃⲃⲓⲏⲩ ⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉ ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ
7 Not just by his arrival, but also by the encouragement you gave him. He told us how you were longing to see me, how sorry you were, and how concerned you were about me, which made me even happier.
ⲍ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲕⲱϩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ
8 Even though I made you sorry by the letter I wrote, I don't regret it—though I did regret it because the letter did hurt you, but just for a while.
ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲣⲡⲕⲉⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲧⲏⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲛⲁⲣ ⲡⲕⲉⲣϩⲧⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲉⲓϭⲱϣⲧ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ
9 I'm happy now, not for hurting you, but because this pain led you to change your minds. You were made sorry in a way God would want, and so weren't harmed by us in any way.
ⲑ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
10 The kind of sorrow God wants us to have makes us change our minds and brings salvation. This kind of sorrow leaves no sense of regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲛⲁⲧⲣϩⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲧⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ
11 See what happened to you when you had this very same experience of sorrow that God wants. Remember how enthusiastic you became, how keen you were to defend yourselves, how angry you were at what had happened, how seriously you took it, how you longed to do right, how concerned you were, how you wanted justice to be done. In all of this you showed that you were sincere in wanting to make things right.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲃⲁ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲱⲃ
12 So when I wrote to you, I wasn't writing about who did the wrong or who was wronged, but to show you how devoted you are to us in God's sight.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ
13 We are so encouraged by this. Added to our own encouragement, we were so pleased to see how happy Titus was, because you set his mind at rest.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϥⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ
14 I boasted to him about you, and you didn't let me down. Just as all I've told you is true, my boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true too!
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲁⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲡⲓϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲉ
15 Titus cares for you even more as he remembers how you did what he told you, how you welcomed him with great respect.

16 I am so happy that I can be completely confident of you.
