2 Corinthians 8
1 And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ.
2 because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, did abound to the riches of their liberality;
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⲁ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ.
3 because, according to [their] power, I testify, and above [their] power, they were willing of themselves,
ⲅ̅ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ.
4 with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and the fellowship of the ministration to the saints,
ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲟ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ.
5 and not according as we expected, but themselves they did give first to the Lord, and to us, through the will of God,
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ ⲫϯ.
6 so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin before, so also he may finish to you also this favour,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲕⲉ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
7 but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲕⲉ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
8 not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲁⲓⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
9 for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor — being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.
ⲑ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧϩⲏⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ.
10 and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you [is] expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before — a year ago,
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ϯϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲁⲓϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟⲩϥ.
11 and now also finish doing [it], that even as [there is] the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲁⲓϥ ϫⲟⲕϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ.
12 for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ϥϣⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ϥϣⲏⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲁⲛ.
13 for not that for others release, and ye pressured, [do I speak, ]
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
14 but by equality, at the present time your abundance — for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡ⳿ϭⲣⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϭⲣⲟϩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ.
15 according as it hath been written, 'He who [did gather] much, had nothing over; and he who [did gather] little, had no lack.'
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
16 And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϣⲏⲡ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ.
17 because indeed the exhortation he accepted, and being more diligent, of his own accord he went forth unto you,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱⲧ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥϭⲓⲧϥ ⲉϥⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿.
18 and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news [is] through all the assemblies,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲉⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
19 and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲭⲁ ϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
20 avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,
ⲕ̅ⲉⲛⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϣⲟϣⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ.
21 providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;

22 and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,
