< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, for proclaiming the promise of the Life which is in Christ Jesus:
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
2 To Timothy my dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
ⲃ̅ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
ⲅ̅ϯϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲙ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϯϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁϫⲛⲱϫⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ
4 being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲣⲙⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ
5 For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart--a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧⲕ ⲁϫⲛ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲗⲱⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲓⲕⲏ ϯⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲥⲛϩⲏⲧⲕ
6 For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲧⲣⲉⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕϯ ⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧⲕ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲛⲛⲁϭⲓϫ
7 For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϭⲱⲃ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϭⲟⲙ ϩⲓ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ
8 Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God.
ⲏ̅ⲙⲡⲣϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
9 For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before the commencement of the Ages, (aiōnios g166)
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲧⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōnios g166)
10 but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has brought Life and Immortality to light through the Good News,
ⲓ̅ⲉⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
11 of which I have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, to the Gentiles.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲕⲩⲣⲏⲝ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲁϩ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
12 That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲱⲡ ⲛⲛⲉⲉⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲧⲏⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
13 Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
14 That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡϭⲟⲓⲗⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ
15 Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲩⲅⲉⲗⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲣⲙⲟⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϯⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲛⲟⲛⲏⲥⲓⲫⲟⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϯⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡϥϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲙⲣⲣⲉ
17 Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire where I was living, and at last he found me.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲱⲙⲏ ⲁϥϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
18 (The Lord grant that he may obtain mercy at His hands on that day!) And you yourself well know all the services which he rendered me in Ephesus.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϯⲛⲁϥ ⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ
