1ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲑⲣⲓ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ..

1But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

2ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧϯⲉⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲑⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏ ⲉⲑⲙⲟⲕϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ..

2For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?

3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲧϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ..

3And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be shared by all of you.

4⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲭⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ..

4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made to grieve, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

5ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϯ ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲁϩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ..

5But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

6ⲕⲏⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ ⳿ ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲓⲁ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ..

6This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;

7ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲃⲏϥ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲕⲁϩⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ..

7so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

8ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ..

8Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

9ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ..

9For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

10ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲁⲓϥ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲁⲓⲁⲓϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ.̅.

10Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

11ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϭⲓⲧⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲃϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲩ⳿.Ⲓ.

11that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

12⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪..

12Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

13⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣⲁⲡⲟⲧⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ..

13I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

14⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϣⲏⲡ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ..

14Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

15ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ..

15For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God in those who are being saved and in those who perish:

16⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲉⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲕⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ..

16to the one a stench from death to death, to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

17ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲓⲉⲃϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ.

17For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
