1 Simon Peter a seruant and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to you which haue obteined like precious faith with vs by the righteousnesse of our God and Sauiour Iesus Christ:
ⲁ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus our Lord,
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲥⲉⲁϣⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
3 According as his diuine power hath giuen vnto vs all things that perteine vnto life and godlinesse, through the acknowledging of him that hath called vs vnto glory and vertue.
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ.
4 Whereby most great and precious promises are giuen vnto vs, that by them ye should be partakers of the diuine nature, in that ye flee the corruption, which is in the worlde through lust.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲓⲏⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
5 Therefore giue euen all diligence thereunto: ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith: and with vertue, knowledge:
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ.
6 And with knowledge, temperance: and with temperance, patience: and with patience, godlines:

7 And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and with brotherly kindnes, loue.

8 For if these things be among you, and abound, they will make you that ye neither shalbe idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our Lord Iesus Christ:
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲁϫⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
9 For he that hath not these things, is blinde, and can not see farre off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his olde sinnes.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
10 Wherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ.
11 For by this meanes an entring shalbe ministred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ. (aiōnios )
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣʾ (aiōnios )
12 Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though that ye haue knowledge, and be stablished in the present trueth.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ. ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ.
13 For I thinke it meete as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you in remembrance,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲓϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ.
14 Seeing I knowe that the time is at hand that I must lay downe this my tabernacle, euen as our Lord Iesus Christ hath shewed me.

15 I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye also may be able to haue remembrance of these things after my departing.

16 For we followed not deceiuable fables when we opened vnto you the power, and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but with our eyes we saw his maiestie:
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲃⲟⲩ. ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
17 For he receiued of God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voyce to him from that excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
18 And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount.

19 We haue also a most sure worde of the Prophets, to the which ye doe well that yee take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲃⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲩϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲥⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
20 So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation.

21 For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost.
