2 Corinthians 3
1 Doe we begin to praise our selues againe? or neede we as some other, epistles of recommendation vnto you, or letters of recommendation from you?
ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲧⲛⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲩⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ
2 Yee are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is vnderstand, and read of all men,
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲥⲏϩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
3 In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ ⲉⲥⲥⲏϩ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲗⲁⲝ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲱⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲗⲁⲝ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ
4 And such trust haue we through Christ to God:
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
5 Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,
ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲓⲕⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲱⲃ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲛϩⲧⲟⲣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧϩⲓⲕⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 Who also hath made vs able ministers of the Newe testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirite: for the letter killeth, but the Spirite giueth life.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉⲛⲣⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲣⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ
7 If then the ministration of death written with letters and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glorie of his countenance (which glorie is done away.)
ⲍ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲥϣⲉⲧϣⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲱⲛⲉ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲉϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡϩⲟ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ
8 Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious?
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ
9 For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie.
ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲧϭⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲡⲟⲥⲱ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲥⲛⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ
10 For euen that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glorie.
ⲓ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲓⲏⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ
11 For if that which should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ
12 Seeing then that we haue such trust, we vse great boldnesse of speach.

13 And we are not as Moses, which put a vaile vpon his face, that the children of Israel should not looke vnto the ende of that which should be abolished.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲉϣⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϭⲱϣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲉⲑⲁⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ
14 Therefore their mindes are hardened: for vntill this day remaineth the same couering vntaken away in the reading of the olde Testament, which vaile in Christ is put away.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϣⲁ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲓϩⲃⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲱϣ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲥⲉϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
15 But euen vnto this day, whe Moses is read, the vaile is laid ouer their hearts.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϣⲁ ⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ
16 Neuertheles when their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the vaile shalbe taken away.

17 Nowe the Lord is the Spirite, and where the Spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie.

18 But we al behold as in a mirrour the glory of the Lord with open face, and are changed into the same image, from glorie to glorie, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
