1ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲛ ⲁⲛ..

1Therefore, seeing we have this ministration, according as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;

2ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲃ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲥⲩⲛⲏⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ..

2But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience, in the sight of God.

3ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲕⲉϩⲏⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥϩⲏⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ..

3And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost,

4ⲉⲛ ⲟⲓⲥ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲉ..

4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them.

5ⲛⲁⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ.̅.

5For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord; and ourselves your servants through Jesus.

6ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅..

6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus.

7⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓ⳿ⲁϩⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲗϫ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲑⲁ ⲫϯ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ..

7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God, and not of us.

8ⲉⲛϩⲉϫϩⲱϫ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲉϫϩⲱϫ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ..

8In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not distressed; we are straitened, but are not destitute;

9ⲉⲩϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ⳿ ⲛ⳿ϥⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲣⲱϧⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ..

9We suffer persecution, but are not forsaken; we are cast down, but we perish not:

10⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲛϥⲁⲓ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲱⲛϧ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ..

10Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.

11⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ⲥⲉϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲱⲛϧ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ..

11For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake; that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ..

12So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

13ⲉϥⲉⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ..

13But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe, for which cause we speak also:

14ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ..

14Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also with Jesus, and place us with you.

15ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲓϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲉⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ..

15For all things are for your sakes; that the grace abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.

16ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ..

16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17⳿ⲡ⳿ⲁⲥⲓⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ..

17For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation, worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.

18ⲉⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲛ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉ.

18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen, are temporal; but the things which are not seen, are eternal.
