1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;
ⲁ̅ϯϯϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲛϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
2 including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.
ⲃ̅⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲥⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲉϥϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
3 This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,
ⲅ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϣⲏⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
4 who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--Christ Jesus, Himself man;
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
6 who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact testified to at its own appointed time,
ⲋ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϯ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲏⲟⲩ.
7 and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
ⲍ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲭⲁⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯ ϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
8 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
ⲏ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲩϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ.
9 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲉⲩϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲥⲟⲣϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϫⲫⲓⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϩⲱⲗⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲙⲏⲓ ⲓⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛϥ.
10 but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲱϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲑⲉⲟⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ.
11 A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϭⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϭⲛⲉϫⲱϥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲥⲉⲣϫⲱϫ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥ ϭⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲗⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲓⲧⲁ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲁ.
14 and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
15 Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
