2 Corinthians 2
1 But, so far as I am concerned, I have resolved not to have a painful visit the next time I come to see you.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲓⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ
2 For if I of all men give you pain, who then is there to gladden my heart, but the very persons to whom I give pain?
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲩⲫⲣⲁⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲓ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ
3 And I write this to you in order that when I come I may not receive pain from those who ought to give me joy, confident as I am as to all of you that my joy is the joy of you all.
ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲉϩ ⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲧⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲕⲱ ⲛϩⲧⲏⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲡⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲡⲉ
4 For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲱϫϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲣⲙⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲉⲓⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ
5 Now if any one has caused sorrow, it has been caused not so much to me, as in some degree--for I have no wish to exaggerate--to all of you.
ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲟ ⲙⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲃⲁⲣⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ
6 In the case of such a person the punishment which was inflicted by the majority of you is enough.
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲣⲱϣⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ
7 So that you may now take the opposite course, and forgive him rather and comfort him, for fear he should perhaps be driven to despair by his excess of grief.
ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ
8 I beg you therefore fully to reinstate him in your love.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
9 For in writing to you I have also this object in view--to discover by experience whether you are prepared to be obedient in every respect.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ
10 When you forgive a man an offence I also forgive it; for in fact what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has always been for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯⲕⲱ ϩⲱ ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
11 for fear Satan should gain an advantage over us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲛⲟⲃϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ
12 Now when I came into the Troad to spread there the Good News about the Christ, even though in the Lord's providence a door stood open before me,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
13 yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲡⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓ ⲁⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ
14 But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲏⲡ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ
15 For we are a fragrance of Christ grateful to God in those whom He is saving and in those who are perishing;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲥϯⲛⲟⲩϥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ
16 to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲡϣⲁ
17 We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲉϣⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
