1ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ..
1Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.
2ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⲁ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ..
2That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy; and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity.
3ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ..
3For according to their power (I bear them witness), and beyond their power, they were willing.
4ⲉⲩⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲟ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ..
4With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints.
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ ⲫϯ..
5And not as we hoped, but they gave their own selves first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God:
6ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲕⲉ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ..
6Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace.
7ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲕⲉ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ..
7That as in all things you abound in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all carefulness; moreover also in your charity towards us, so in this grace also you may abound.
8ⲛⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲁⲓⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ..
8I speak not as commanding; but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity.
9ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲕⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧϩⲏⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ..
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor, for your sakes; that through his poverty you might be rich.
10ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ϯϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲁⲓϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟⲩϥ..
10And herein I give my advice; for this is profitable for you, who have begun not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
11ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲁⲓϥ ϫⲟⲕϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ..
11Now therefore perform ye it also in deed; that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.
12ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ϥϣⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ϥϣⲏⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲁⲛ..
12For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath, not according to that which he hath not.
13ⲟⲩⲭⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
13For I mean not that others should be eased, and you burthened, but by an equality.
14ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡ⳿ϭⲣⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϭⲣⲟϩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ..
14In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want, that there may be an equality,
15ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ..
15As it is written: He that had much, had nothing over; and he that had little, had no want.
16ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϣⲏⲡ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ..
16And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.
17ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱⲧ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥϭⲓⲧϥ ⲉϥⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿⳿.
17For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more careful, of his own will he went unto you.
18ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲉⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ..
18We have sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches.
19ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲭⲁ ϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ..
19And not that only, but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord, and our determined will:
20ⲉⲛⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϣⲟϣⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ..
20Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us.
21ⲧⲉⲛϥⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲕⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ..
21For we forecast what may be good not only before God, but also before men.
22ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲉⲟⲥ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲓⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ..
22And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things; but now much more diligent, with much confidence in you,
23⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲁ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ.̅.
23Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.

24Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity, and of our boasting on your behalf.
