< 2 Timothy 2 >

1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Jesus.
ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful people, who will be able to teach others also.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ·
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Messiah Jesus.
ⲅ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
ⲉ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ̅ϣⲟⲉⲓϫ. ⲙⲉϥϫⲓⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛϥ̅ⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.

7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.

8 Remember Jesus (the) Messiah, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my gospel,
ⲏ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲁⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϯϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲛⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲏⲣ ⲁⲛ.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Jesus with everlasting glory. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯϥⲓ ϩⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲓ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ· (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."

14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, not to wrangle about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲉⲕⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅·
15 Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the word of truth.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲁϩⲟⲕ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲙⲉϥϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲉϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ.
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲙⲟⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲅⲁⲅⲅⲣⲁⲓⲛⲁ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϩⲩⲙⲉⲛⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲫⲓⲗⲏⲧⲟⲥ.
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ̅ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ. ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.
ⲕ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲕⲉⲩⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ (ⲛ̅ⲏⲓ̈) ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϣⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲃⲗ̅ϫⲉ. ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ. ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱϣ.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ϭⲉ ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϯⲙⲏ ⲉϥⲧⲃⲃⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉϥⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ·
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲡⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅(ⲟⲩ)ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲩϫⲡⲉⲙⲓϣⲉ.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲛ̅ϣϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲓϣⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϥ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ. ⲉϥⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
