1Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.

3I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.

4Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

5For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.

6ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉϣⲁϥϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲑⲉⲃⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲫϯ ⲁϥϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ..

6Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

7ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲕⲉⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ..

7and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

8ϫⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲓϯ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛϯⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲑⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲑⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲥϯ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏ ⲧ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ..

8For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.

9ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϯⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⳿ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ϯⲟⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ..

9I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

10ⲡⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲁⲑⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲑⲏϥ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩ..

10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

11For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

12ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϭⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲑⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.

12So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.

13ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲑⲉⲧⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲙϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ..

13Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

14ϫⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲁⲓϥ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ..

14For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲧϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲁϧⲧ ⲥⲉϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲉⲣⲧⲉⲣ..

15His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

16I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
