Coptic New Testament
1For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone:
1ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲟϩⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲛϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲁⲑⲏⲛⲛⲁⲥ.
2And we sent Timothy, our brother, and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲟⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ.
3That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto.
3ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲕⲓⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲭⲏ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓϩⲱⲃ.
4For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations, as also it is come to pass, and you know.
4ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉϫϩⲱϫⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ.
5For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you, and our labour should be made vain.
5ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯ⳿ϣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧ ϭⲱⲛⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϧⲓⲥⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ.
6But now when Timothy came to us from you, and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you;
6ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
7Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith,
7ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁ ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲱⲧ ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏ ⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ.
8Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.

9For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,
9ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧϣⲉⲃⲓⲱ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ.
10Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face, and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?

11Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

12And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in charity towards one another, and towards all men: as we do also towards you,

13To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.
