1Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
1ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲫⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲩⲥⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏ ⲣ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
2Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
3ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲓⲛϫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ.
4Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
4ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲟ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲫⲏ ⲧ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ϯ⳿ⲅⲛⲱⲥⲓⲥ.
6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

8For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
9But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
9ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲟⲙϫⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
10Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
10ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲓⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲗⲁϯ ⲉⲛⲉϩ.
11and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
12ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲕⲉⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ.
13I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
13ϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ϯϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ.
14because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
14ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
15And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
15ϯⲛⲁⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲁⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
16For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
16ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϣϥⲱ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲃ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧϫⲟⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
17For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
17ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ.
18And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉⲥ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
19We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
19ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϯ⳿ϩⲑⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϧⲏⲃⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛ ⲭⲁⲕⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϣⲁϥϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲫ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ.
20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
20ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲗ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
21For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
