2 Timothy 2
1 You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
2 All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.

3 As a good soldier of Christ Jesus accept your share of suffering.
ⲅ̅ϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
4 Every one who serves as a soldier keeps himself from becoming entangled in the world's business--so that he may satisfy the officer who enlisted him.

5 And if any one takes part in an athletic contest, he gets no prize unless he obeys the rules.

6 The harvestman who labours in the field must be the first to get a share of the crop.

7 Mark well what I am saying: the Lord will give you discernment in everything.

8 Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News which I preach.

9 For preaching the Good News I suffer, and am even put in chains, as if I were a criminal: yet the word of God is not imprisoned.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϯϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲙⲣⲣⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲏⲣ ⲁⲛ
10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation--even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus--and with it eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯϥⲓ ϩⲁ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲡ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲓ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ (aiōnios g166)
11 Faithful is the saying: "If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him;

12 "If we patiently endure pain, we shall also share His Kingship; "If we disown Him, He will also disown us;

13 "And even if our faith fails, He remains true--He cannot prove false to Himself."
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲏ ⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ
14 Bring all this to men's remembrances, solemnly charging them in the presence of God not to waste time in wrangling about mere words, a course which is altogether unprofitable and tends only to the ruin of the hearers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣⲡⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ
15 Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲁϩⲟⲕ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲙⲉϥϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ
16 But from irreligious and frivolous talk hold aloof, for those who indulge in it will proceed from bad to worse in impiety,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲣⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ
17 and their teaching will spread like a running sore. Hymenaeus and Philetus are men of that stamp.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩⲁⲙⲟⲙⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲅⲁⲅⲅⲣⲁⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϩⲩⲙⲉⲛⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲫⲓⲗⲏⲧⲟⲥ
18 In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣϩⲁⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱ ⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ
19 Yet God's solid foundation stands unmoved, bearing this inscription, "The Lord knows those who really belong to Him." And this also, "Let every one who names the Name of the Lord renounce all wickedness."
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
20 Now in a great house there are not only articles of gold and silver, but also others of wood and of earthenware; and some are for specially honourable, and others for common use.

21 If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work.

22 Keep a strong curb, however, on your youthful cravings; and strive for integrity, good faith, love, peace, in company with all who pray to the Lord with pure hearts.

23 But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing--as you do--that these lead to quarrels;
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲟϭ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲩϫⲡⲉ ⲙⲓϣⲉ
24 and a bondservant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be inoffensive towards all men, a skilful teacher, and patient under wrongs.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛϣϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲑⲃⲃⲓⲏⲩ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲉϥⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ
25 He must speak in a gentle tone when correcting the errors of opponents, in the hope that God will at last give them repentance, for them to come to a full knowledge of the truth

26 and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, though they are now entrapped by him to do his will.
