< 2 John 1 >

1 THE ELDER to the elect Lady, and her children, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I onely, but also all that haue knowen the trueth,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲗⲉⲕⲧⲏ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ
2 For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer: (aiōn g165)
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
3 Grace be with you, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ the Sonne of the Father, with trueth and loue.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ
4 I reioyced greatly, that I founde of thy children walking in trueth, as we haue receiued a commandement of the Father.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲓⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ
5 And nowe beseeche I thee, Lady, (not as writing a newe commandement vnto thee, but that same which we had from the beginning) that we loue one another.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲛ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲉⲣⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
6 And this is that loue, that we should walke after his commandements. This commandement is, that as ye haue heard from the beginning, ye should walke in it.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ
7 For many deceiuers are entred into this worlde, which confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. He that is such one, is a deceiuer and an Antichrist.
ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ
8 Looke to your selues, that we lose not the things which we haue done, but that we may receiue full reward.
ⲏ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲣⲙ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲃⲏⲕⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
9 Whosoeuer transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲣ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛϥⲧⲙϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ
10 If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not to house, neither bid him, God speede:
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϥⲧⲙⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲣϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲣϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲉ
11 For he that biddeth him, God speede, is partaker of his euill deedes.

12 Although I had many things to write vnto you, yet I woulde not write with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, and speake mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲛϯ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϩⲓ ⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
13 The sonnes of thine elect sister greete thee, Amen.
