Coptic New Testament

King James Version with Apocrypha

1ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲃ̅ ⲓⲉ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ..

1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

2ⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲥⲟⲡ ⲃ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱϫⲡ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ϯⲛⲁ ϯ⳿ⲁⲥⲟ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ..

2I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

3ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⳿ⲧⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ..

3Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

4ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲁϣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ϥⲟⲛϧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ..

4For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

5ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲣⲓⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲟⲥ..

5Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

6ϯⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ..

6But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

7ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲭⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲟⲥ..

7Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

8⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ..

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9ⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲣⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲃϯ..

9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

10ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ϯ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϯ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡ⳪ ⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲉⲣ ⲁⲛ..

10Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

11ⲗⲟⲓⲡⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲥⲟⲃϯ ϫⲉⲙⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲁⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲁⲣⲓ ϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ..

11Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

12ⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲫⲓ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲃ..

12Greet one another with an holy kiss.

13All the saints salute you.

14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
