2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
ⲁ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩ ϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ
2 May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲥⲉⲁϣⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
3 seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ
4 It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲉⲓⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
5 But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲭⲱⲣⲏⲅⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏ
6 along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲅⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ
7 along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ⲥⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲉⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ⲥⲟⲛ
8 If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁϫⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁϫⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
9 For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϥϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ
10 For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲛⲧⲥⲱⲡⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ
11 And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ (aiōnios g166)
12 For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ
13 But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲓϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲱⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ
14 For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
15 So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϯⲛⲁⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲕⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲡⲣⲡ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ
16 For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲃⲧⲱⲃⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
17 He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲉⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
18 And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
19 And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϯ ϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲏⲃⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲩϩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲉ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲥⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲁ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ
20 But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;
ⲕ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲃⲱⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲥ
21 for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
