2 Corinthians 11
1 O that you were bearing with me a little of the folly, but you also bear with me:
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲑⲏⲧ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ.
2 for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I betrothed you to one Husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,
ⲃ̅ϯⲕⲱϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
3 and I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve in his subtlety, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;
ⲅ̅ϯⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡϩⲟϥ ⲉⲝⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲛ̅ⲉⲩϩⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4 for if, indeed, he who is coming preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive another spirit which you did not receive, or other good news which you did not accept—well were you bearing [it],
ⲇ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲏ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲓⲕⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲏ̅ ⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ.
5 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
ⲉ̅ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ̅ⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
6 and even if a commoner in speech—yet not in knowledge, but in everything we were made evident in all things to you.
ⲋ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩϩⲓⲇⲓⲱⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
7 Did I do sin—humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I freely proclaimed the good news of God to you?
ⲍ̅ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲓ̈ⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲓⲥⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲛϫⲏ.
8 I robbed other assemblies, having taken wages, for your ministry;
ⲏ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲩⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲟⲯⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
9 and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for the brothers supplied my lack—having come from Macedonia—and I kept myself burdenless to you in everything, and will keep.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲉⲓϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲉϩϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲡⲁϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲟⲕϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲓ̈ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϩⲣⲟϣ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲁϩⲁⲣⲉϩ.
10 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting will not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲱϫⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲗⲓⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ.
11 for what reason? Because I do not love you? God has known!
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ.
12 And what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϯⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲟⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉϭⲱϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉϣⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ.
13 for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲉ. ϩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲉ. ⲉⲩϫⲓϩⲣⲃ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
14 and no wonder—for even Satan transforms himself into a messenger of light;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϣⲁϥϫⲓϩⲣⲃ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
15 [it is] no great thing, then, if his servants also transform themselves as servants of righteousness—whose end will be according to their works.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉϥⲕⲉⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϫⲓϩⲣⲃ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲩϩⲁⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ.
16 Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, receive me even as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲑⲏⲧ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲛ ϣⲟⲡⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲑⲏⲧ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏⲙ.
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲑⲏⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ.
18 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϯⲛⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈.
19 for you gladly bear with the fools—being wise,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ.
20 for you bear, if anyone is bringing you under bondage, if anyone devours, if anyone takes away, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you on the face;
ⲕ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲝⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲕⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲓ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲟ.
21 I speak in reference to dishonor, how that we were weak, and in whatever anyone is bold—in foolishness I say [it]—I also am bold.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲥⲱϣ. ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛϭⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ϩⲱ.
22 Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!

23 Are they servants of Christ? As [if] beside myself I speak—I [am] more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times.

24 Five times I received from Jews forty [stripes] except one;

25 three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I have passed a night and a day in the deep;

26 journeys many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from [my own] race, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brothers;

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?

30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;
ⲗ̅ⲉϣϫⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲓⲛⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ·
31 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—who is blessed for all ages—has known that I do not lie! (aiōn g165)

32 In Damascus the governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

33 and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
