17 Now I exhort you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned:
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲙⲡⲱⲣϫ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲁϩⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
18 and avoid them; for such people serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by a soothing address and good words deceive the hearts of the innocent.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϭⲓⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲟⲗϭ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩⲉⲝⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲛⲃⲁⲗϩⲏⲧ
19 For your obedience is come to the knowledge of all: and therefore I rejoice on your account; but yet I would have you wise to that which is good, and simple as to that which is evil.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲛⲧⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉϫⲱⲧⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲕⲉⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ
20 And the God of peace will soon bruise Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
