2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the holy ones who are in all Achaia:

ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ

3 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,

ⲅ̅ϥⲥⲙⲁⲙⲁⲁⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲙⲙⲛⲧϣⲁⲛϩⲧⲏϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ

4 who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲥⲉⲡⲥ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

5 because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so through the Christ our comfort also abounds;

ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟϣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϥⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡⲥ

6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is worked in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

ⲋ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ϩⲛ ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲛⲛⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ

7 and our hope [is] steadfast for you, knowing that even as you are partakers of the sufferings—so also of the comfort.

ⲍ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲕⲟⲟϩ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡⲥ

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we even despaired of life;

ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲣⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲃⲁⲣⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲕⲉⲱⲛϩ

9 but we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲛⲕⲁ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲉⲓⲁⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲧⲏⲛ ⲕⲏ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and delivers, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

ⲓ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ

11 you also working together for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many, may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛϣⲃⲣⲣϩⲱⲃ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲟ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲉϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲁϩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ

12 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲡ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ

13 for no other things do we write to you, but what you either read or also acknowledge, and I hope that you will also acknowledge to the end,

ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ

14 according as you also acknowledged us in part, that we are your glory, even as also you [are] ours, in the Day of the Lord Jesus;

ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲛ ⲁⲡⲟ ⲙⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ

15 and in this confidence I was intending to come to you before, that you might have a second favor,

ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲙⲟⲧ

16 and to pass to Macedonia through you, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent forward by you to Judea.

ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲥⲉⲑⲡⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ

17 This, therefore, intending, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, [did] I counsel according to the flesh, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲁⲓⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲁⲓⲭⲣⲱ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲥⲁⲓ ⲏ ⲛⲉϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲥⲉ ⲛⲥⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲛ

18 And God [is] faithful, that our word to you did not become Yes and No,

ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲙⲟⲛ

19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been preached through us among you—through me and Silvanus and Timotheus—did not become Yes and No, but in Him it has become Yes;

ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲥⲓⲗⲟⲩⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲙⲡϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ

20 for as many as [are] promises of God, in Him [are] the Yes, and in Him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

ⲕ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲡϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ

21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God,

ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲥⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

22 who also sealed us, and gave the deposit of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 And I call on God for a witness on my soul, that sparing you, I did not come to Corinth yet;

ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲁⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓϯⲥⲟ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲟⲥ

24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by faith you stand.
