1ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲑⲙⲟⲩⲛⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ..
1Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
2ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛϥⲓ⳿ⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲉⲛϭⲓϣϣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯϩⲓ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ..
2For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
3ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛⲧⲏⲓϥ ϩⲓ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲉⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲃⲏϣ..
3because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
4ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲧⲉⲛϥⲓ⳿ⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲉⲛϩⲟⲣϣ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲁϣⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲓϥ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ..
4So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
5ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲁⲣⲏⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ.̅.
5And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.

6Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
7ⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ..
7For we walk by faith, not by sight.

8We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲡ ⲧⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲛⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ..
9So we aspire to please Him, whether we are here in this body or away from it.

10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.
11ⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϯ ⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲩⲛⲏⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ..
11Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.
12ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϯⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ..
12We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.
13⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲓϩⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲓϩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲕⲁϯ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲛⲕⲁϯ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ..
13If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ..
14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ..
15And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
16ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ..
16So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
17ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ..
17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
18ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲛⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϩⲟⲧⲡⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲧⲡ..
18All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
19ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲁϥϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ..
19that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20ⲁⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲛ ϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ..
20Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

21God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
