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

2I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest 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..

3seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful 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 he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

5Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

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

6But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

7Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

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 rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

10For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

11Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12ⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲫⲓ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲃ..

12Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13All the saints greet you.
