King James Version with Apocrypha

1⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯ ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲟϫ.

1But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

2ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲟⲓ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲣⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟϫ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ.

2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

3ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲱ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲙⲛⲓ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲏⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ.

3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲙⲁⲓϩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ.

4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲏ ⲉⲩⲧⲟⲩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲥⲉϩⲛⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲏ ⲉⲩϭⲛⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.

5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

6ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗϣ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲉⲣⲥⲁⲃⲉ.

6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

7ⲉⲕ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯ ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ.

7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

8ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟϫ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲁⲅⲓⲛⲱⲥⲕⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲛ.

8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

9ⲛⲓⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.

9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things ; not answering again;

10⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲉⲗⲥⲱⲗⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.

10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

11⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.

11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

12ⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲁⲛϫⲉⲗ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏ ⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲱⲛϧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲟⲩ.

12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

13ⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.

13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

14ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ.

14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

15ⲛⲁⲓ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲥⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ

15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
