2 Timothy 2
1 You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

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.

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.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲁⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
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.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϯϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲛⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ 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)

11 Faithful is the saying: "If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him;

13 "And even if our faith fails, He remains true--He cannot prove false to Himself."
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲡⲏ ⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ 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.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲉⲕⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅·
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 ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲙⲉϥϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲉϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
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 ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ.
17 and their teaching will spread like a running sore. Hymenaeus and Philetus are men of that stamp.

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.

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."
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 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.
ⲕ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲕⲉⲩⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ (ⲛ̅ⲏⲓ̈) ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϣⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲃⲗ̅ϫⲉ. ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ. ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱϣ.
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;

24 and a bondservant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be inoffensive towards all men, a skilful teacher, and patient under wrongs.

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
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
26 and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, though they are now entrapped by him to do his will.
