< 2 Corinthians 5 >
1 For we knowe that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we haue a building giuen of God, that is, an house not made with handes, but eternall in the heauens. (aiōnios )
ⲁ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲏⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲏⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲙⲟⲩⲛⲅ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲟⲩⲉ. (aiōnios )
2 For therefore we sighe, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heauen.

3 Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked.

4 For in deede we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened, because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpon, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of life.

5 And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit.

6 Therefore we are alway bolde, though we knowe that whiles we are at home in the bodie, we are absent from the Lord.

7 (For we walke by faith, and not by sight.)

8 Neuerthelesse, we are bolde, and loue rather to remoue out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord.

9 Wherefore also we couet, that both dwelling at home, and remouing from home, we may be acceptable to him.

10 For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or euill.
ⲓ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ·
11 Knowing therefore that terrour of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest vnto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
12 For we prayse not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you an occasion to reioyce of vs, that ye may haue to answere against them, which reioyce in the face, and not in the heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ.
13 For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲡⲱϣⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲡⲱϣⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ̅ ⲉϥⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
14 For that loue of Christ constraineth vs,

15 Because we thus iudge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which liue, shoulde not henceforth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ.
16 Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though wee had knowen Christ after the flesh, yet nowe henceforth know we him no more.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a newe creature. Olde things are passed away: beholde, all things are become newe.

18 And all things are of God, which hath reconciled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen vnto vs the ministerie of reconciliation.

19 For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himselfe, not imputing their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the word of reconciliation.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲱⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲧⲡ̅·
20 Now then are we ambassadours for Christ: as though God did beseeche you through vs, we pray you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled to God.

21 For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, which knewe no sinne, that we should be made the righteousnesse of God in him.
