2 Peter 3
1 This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϯⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
2 To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲉⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩ ⲛⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣ ϣⲣⲡ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ
3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,
ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲁⲉⲉⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲏⲣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
4 And say, Where is the promise of his comming? for since the fathers died, all things continue alike from the beginning of the creation.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϫⲓⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ
5 For this they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the water, by the word of God.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲏⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϫⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲱⲙⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ
7 But the heauens and earth, which are nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued vnto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of vngodly men.
ⲍ̅ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲕⲁϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ
8 Dearely beloued, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, as a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres as one day.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲟ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩϣⲟ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
9 The Lord of that promise is not slacke (as some men count slackenesse) but is pacient toward vs, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance.
ⲑ̅ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲱⲥⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲥⲕ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣϣ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲁⲓⲛⲉ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a noyse, and the elements shall melt with heate, and the earth with the workes that are therein, shalbe burnt vp.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ ⲛⲥⲉⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
11 Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲓ ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
12 Looking for, and hasting vnto the comming of that day of God, by the which the heauens being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements shall melt with heate?
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲕϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ ⲛⲥⲉⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
13 But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
14 Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blamelesse.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲧϫⲱϩⲙ ϩⲉⲛⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ
15 And suppose that the long suffering of our Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto him wrote to you,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛϩⲁⲣϣ ϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲡⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲛⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛⲥⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ
16 As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of these thinges: among the which some thinges are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other Scriptures vnto their owne destruction.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲕϩ ⲛⲛⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩϭⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩϭⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
17 Ye therefore beloued, seeing ye know these thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse.
