1⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲑⲉⲃⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⲉⲓⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ..

1Now I Paul myself beseech you, by the mildness and modesty of Christ, who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent, am bold toward you.

2ϯⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲣⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ..

2But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I am thought to be bold, against some, who reckon us as if we walked according to the flesh.

3ⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ..

3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

4ⲛⲓϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁⲛϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϫⲟⲣ ..

4For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels,

5ⲉⲩⲣⲱϧⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϭⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅..

5And every height that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ;

6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ..

6And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.

7⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϩⲑⲏϥⲭⲏ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲫⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ..

7See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ’s, let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ’s, so are we also.

8⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡ⳪ ⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲱϧⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲛⲁϣⲓⲡⲓ ⲁⲛ..

8For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.

9ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϯϩⲉⲗⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ..

9But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles,

10ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲥⲉϩⲟⲣϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲉϫⲟⲣ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ϣⲏϣ..

10(For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible,)

11ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ..

11Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles, when absent, such also we will be indeed when present.

12⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱⲛⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩⲑⲱⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲁϯ ⲁⲛ..

12For we dare not match, or compare ourselves with some, that commend themselves; but we measure ourselves by ourselves, and compare ourselves with ourselves.

13⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲧϣⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲑⲁϣϥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲛⲫⲟϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ..

13But we will not glory beyond our measure; but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

14ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲫⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲁⲛⲫⲟϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅..

14For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the gospel of Christ.

15ⲉⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϧⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲓⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲓϣϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲕⲁⲛⲱⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ..

15Not glorying beyond measure in other men’s labours; but having hope of your increasing faith, to be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly;

16⳿ⲉϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲛⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧ..

16Yea, unto those places that are beyond you, to preach the gospel, not to glory in another man’s rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand.

17ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪..

17But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

18ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ.

18For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth.
