English: Great 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.
Coptic: καιγαρ ντερενει εhραι ετμακεδονια μπετενσαρξ jι λααυ μμοτνεσ αλλα ευθλιβε μμον hνhωβ νιμ hενμιsε hιβολ hενhοτε hιhουν .
English: For 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.
Coptic: αλλα πνουτε ετπαρακαλει ννετθββιηυ . αfπαρακαλει μμον hμπτρε τιτοσ ει sαρον .
English: Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Coptic: hμπτρεfει δε μματε αν αλλα hμπκεμτον νhητ ενταfααf εjντηυτν εfταμο μμον επετνμε μνπετνριμε μνπετνκωh hαροι hωστε ετραραsε νhουο
English: and 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.
Coptic: jεεsjε αιρπκελυπει μμωτν hντεπιστολη νtειρε νhτηει αν εsjε νειναρ πκερhτηι πε εειcωsτ jετεπιστολη ετμμαυ εsjε ασλυπει μμωτν προσ ουουνου
English: For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
Coptic: tραsε τενου jεατετνλυπει αν . αλλα jεατετνλυπει ευμετανοια . ντατετνλυπει γαρ καταπνουτε jεκαασ ννετνsωωτ hνλααυ εβολ μμον .
English: I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Coptic: τλυπη γαρ καταπνουτε εσρhωβ ευμετανοια νατρhτησ ευουjαι . τλυπη δε μπκοσμοσ εσρhωβ επμου .
English: For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.
Coptic: εισ πεειτρετνλυπει γαρ καταπνουτε αfρhωβ νητν ευνοc νσπουδη μνουαπολογια μνουμκαh νhητ μνουhοτε μνουμε μνουκωh μνουκβα hνhωβ νιμ ατετνσυνhιστα μμωτν ετετνουααβ hμπhωβ .
English: For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Coptic: αρα εsjε αισhαι νητν νταισhαι αν ετβεπενταfjι νcονσ . ουδε ετβεπενταυjιτf αν νcονσ . αλλα jεερετετνσπουδη ουωνh εβολ ετετνειρε μμοσ hαρον
English: So 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.
Coptic: ετβεπαι απενhητ μτον νναhρητν μπεμτο εβολ μπνουτε . εjμπεμτον δε νhητ ανραsε εματε εjμπραsε ντιτοσ jεαπεfπνευμα μτον hιτετηυτν τηρτν .
English: Therefore 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.

English: For 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.
Coptic: αυω νεfμντsανhτηf sοοπ νhουο εhουν ερωτν . εfειρε μπμεευε ντετνμντστμητ τηρτν ντhε εντατετνsοπf ερωτν hνουhοτε μνουστωτ .

English: Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia;
Coptic: jεhνουνοc νδοκιμη νθλιψισ απεhουο μπευραsε μντευμντhηκε ετναsωσ ρhουο εhουν ετμντρμμαο ντευμντhαπλουσ .
English: how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
Coptic: jεtρμντρε jεκατατευcομ . αυω παρατευcομ hαπευhτορ ουαατου .
English: For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
Coptic: ευσοπσ μμον hνουνοc νσοπσ εjι ντευχαρισ μντκοινωνια ντδιακονια ετjι εhουν ενετουααβ .
English: begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
Coptic: ενκατα τhε αν εντανhελπιζε . αλλα αυτααυ νsορπ μπjοεισ . αυω ναν hιτμπουωs μπνουτε .
English: This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
Coptic: ετρενπαρακαλει ντιτοσ . jεκαασ κατατhε ενταfαρχει jιννsορπ νfjωκ εβολ ντειhε εhουν ερωτν ντεικεχαρισ .
English: So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
Coptic: αλλα ντhε ετετνο νhουο hνhωβ νιμ hντπιστισ μνπsαjε μνπσοουν μνσπουδη νιμ αυω τεναγαπη ετsοοπ εhουν ερωτν jεκαασ ετετνερhουο hντεικεχαρισ .
English: But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.
Coptic: νειjω μμοσ αν καταουεhσαhνε . αλλα εβολ hιτντεσπουδη νhενκοουε ειδοκιμαζε hωττηυτν ντμντhακ ντετναγαπη .
English: I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Coptic: τετνειμε γαρ ετχαρισ μπενjοεισ ιησουσ jεαfρhηκε ετβετηυτν ευρμμαο πε . jεκαασ hωττηυτν ετετνερρμμαο hντμντhηκε μπετμμαυ .
English: For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
Coptic: tt δε νουγνωμη νητν μπαι παι γαρ πετρνοfρε νητν . ναι μπιρε μματε αν . αλλα πκεουωs ατετναρχει μμοf jινσνουf .
English: I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
Coptic: τενου δε jεκπκεειρε εβολ . jεκαασ κατατhε μπουροτ μπουωs . ται τε τhε μπκεjωκ εβολ hμπετεουντητνf .
English: But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
Coptic: εsjε πουροτ γαρ κη εhραι καταπετεουνταfσf . fsηπ καταπετεμνταfσf αν .
English: For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don't have.
Coptic: jεκαασ γαρ αν ερεουμτον sωπε νhοινε . ντεουθλιψισ sωπε νητν . αλλα hνουsωs
English: For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
Coptic: hμπειουοειs τενου ντεπετνhουο sωπε επsωωτ ννη jεκαασ hωωf ερεπεhουο ννη sωπε επετνsωωτ jεερεουsωs sωπε .
English: but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.
Coptic: κατατhε ετσηh jεπαπhουο μπfρhουο αυω παπκουι μπfσβοκ .
English: As it is written, 'He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.'
Coptic: πεhμοτ δε μπνουτε sηπ παι ετt νtσπουδη νουωτ hαρωτν hμπhητ ντιτοσ .

Coptic: jεπενσοπσ μεν αfjιτf . εfο δε νσπουδαιοσ νhουο αfει εβολ sαρωτν εhναf .
English: For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
Coptic: αντννοου δε νμμαf μπσον παι ετερεπεfταειο sοοπ hμπευαγγελιον hιτννεκκλησια τηρου .
English: We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through all the assemblies.
Coptic: ου μονον δε αλλα αυρπκενεhf εβολ hιτννεκκλησια ετρεfει εβολ νμμαν hμπειhμοτ ετουδιακονει μμοf εβολ hιτοοτν νναhρμπεοου μπjοεισ μνπενουροτ .
English: Not only so, but who was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
Coptic: ενσιhε μμον μπαι μηπωσ ντεουα τεcουτωλμ ερον hμπειταjρο ετουδιακονει μμοf εβολ hιτοοτν .
English: We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
Coptic: τνfι γαρ μπροουs νhενπετνανουου μπεμτο εβολ μπjοεισ μματε αν . αλλα μπεμτο εβολ ννκερωμε .

Coptic: αντννοου δε νμμαυ μπενκεσον παι εντανδοκιμαζε μμοf hνhαh νσοπ ευσπουδαιοσ πε . τενου δε νhουο εσπουδαιοσ . hνουναhτε δε εναsωf εhουν ερωτν .
English: We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
Coptic: ειτε hατιτοσ πακοινωνοσ πε . αυω νsβρρhωβ εhουν ερωτν ειτε νενσνηυ ναποστολοσ νε ννεκκλησια . πεοου μπεχριστοσ .
English: As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
Coptic: πουωνh cε εβολ ντετναγαπη αυω πενsουsου ετνειρε μμοf hαρωτν . ουονhου εροου μπεμτο εβολ ννεκκλησια .
English: Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Coptic: ετβετδιακονια γαρ ται ετsοοπ εhουν ενετουααβ . ουhουο εροι πε εσhαι νητν .
English: It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Coptic: tσοουν γαρ μπετνουροτ παι εtsουsου μμοι νhητf hαρωτν hνμμακεδων . jεαταχαια σβτωτσ jινσνουf . αυω απετνκωh τβσ ουμηηsε .
English: for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
Coptic: αιτννοου δε ννεσνηυ jεκαασ ννε πενsουsου ωjν ετνειρε μμοf hαρωτν hμπεισα . αλλα jεκαασ κατατhε ενειjω μμοσ ντετνsωπε ετετνσβτωτ .
English: But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
Coptic: μηποτε νσεει νμμαι νcιμμακεδων νσεhε ερωτν εντετνσβτωτ αν . ντνjιsιπε ανον hμπειταjρο jεννενjοοσ jεντωτν .
English: so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confident boasting.
Coptic: αιοπf cε jεουαναγκαιον πε εσεπσ νεσνηυ jεευεsρπει sαρωτν . νσεsρπσοβτε μπετνσμου εντατετνερητ μμοf jιννsορπ . ετρεfsωπε εfσβτωτ ντειhε hωσ σμου αυω hωσ jι νcονσ αν .
English: I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
Coptic: παι δε πε jεπετjο hνουtσο εfναωhσ ον hνουtσο . αυω πετjο hνουσμου εfναωhσ hνουσμου
English: Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Coptic: πουα πουα πενταfτοsf hμπεfhητ hνουλυπη αν ηhν ουhτορ . ουρεft γαρ εfροουτ πετερε πνουτε με μμοf .
English: Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
Coptic: ουν cομ δε μπνουτε εταsε hμοτ νιμ εhουν ερωτν . jεκαασ hνhωβ νιμ νουοειs νιμ εουντητν μμαυ μπετνρωsε τηρf . ντετνρhουο εhουν εhωβ νιμ ναγαθον .

Coptic: πετt δε μπεcροc μπετjο μνουοεικ εουομf fναt αυω νfταsο μπετνjο νfαυξανε ννγενημα ντετνδικαιοσυνη .
English: Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
Coptic: ετετνο νρμμαο hνhωβ νιμ εhουν εμντhαπλουσ νιμ . ται ετρhωβ εβολ hιτοοτν ευsπhμοτ ντεπνουτε .
English: you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
Coptic: jετδιακονια μπιsμsε νεσsωπε μματε αν εσjωκ εβολ ννεcρωh ννετουααβ . αλλα εσρπκερhοου hιτνhαh νsπhμοτ ντεπνουτε .
English: For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;
Coptic: αυω εβολ hιτοοτσ ντδοκιμη ντειδιακονια ενtεοου μπνουτε εjντhυποταγη ντετνhομολογια εhουν επευαγγελιον μπεχριστοσ μντμντhαπλουσ ντκοινωνια εhουν εροου . μνουον νιμ .
English: seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
Coptic: μνπευσοπσ hαρωτν . ευουε sτηυτν ετβετεχαρισ μπνουτε ετναsωσ εjντηυτν .
English: while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Coptic: πεhμοτ μπνουτε sηπ εhραι εjντεfδωρεα ετεντνναsjοοσ αν .
English: Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Coptic: ανοκ δε παυλοσ tπαρακαλει μμωτν εβολ hιτντμντρμραs μντμντhακ μπεχριστοσ . παι ειhατε τηυτν μεν tθββιηυ νhητ τηυτν . εειτηκ δε νhητ μμωτν νthατε τηυτν αν .
English: Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you.
Coptic: tσοπσ δε ετραsωπε ειτηκ νhητ νthατε τηυτν αν . hμπναhτε εtμεευε jετετντολμα εjνhοινε . ναι ετμεευε ερον hωσ ενμοοsε κατασαρξ .
English: Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
Coptic: ενμοοsε γαρ hντσαρξ . ννενhηκ αν κατασ αρξ .
English: For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh;
Coptic: νhοπλον γαρ ντενμντματοι νhενσαρκικον αν νε . αλλα hενcομ νε ντεπνουτε . ευsοοπ ευsορsρ ννετταjρηυ ενsορsρ νμμεευε .
English: for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
Coptic: αυω jισε νιμ εττωουν εhραι εjμπσοουν μπνουτε . ενσωκ νhητ νιμ ετμντστμητ μπεχριστοσ
English: throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
Coptic: αυω ενσβτωτ εjι μπεκβα μμντατσωτμ νιμ . εσsανjωκ εβολ νcιτετνμντρεfσωτμ .
English: and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.
Coptic: cωsτ ενετμπετνμτο εβολ πετμεευε εροf jεανγ παπεχριστοσ μαρεfμεευε ον επαι νhητf jεκατατhε εντf παπεχριστοσ ανον πωf hωων .
English: Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.
Coptic: εειsανsουsου γαρ μμοι επεhουο ετβετενεξουσια ται ενταπjοεισ ταασ επετνκωτ αυω επετνsορsρ αν . νtναjι sιπε αν πε .
English: For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,
Coptic: jεκαασ δε ννεκhε εροσ εsjε ειτhρsο μμωτν hιτννεπιστολη .
English: that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Coptic: jενεπιστολη μεν πεjαf hορs αυω σεcμcομ τπαρhησια δε μπεfσωμα cοοβ αυω πεfsαjε σοsf .
English: For, 'His letters,' they say, 'are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.'
Coptic: μαρεπαι cε μεευε επαι jεντhε ετνο μμοσ hμπενsαjε hιτννενεπιστολη ντνhατε τηυτν αν . ανhεντειμινε ον ενhατε τηυτν hμπhωβ .
English: Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
Coptic: ντντολμα γαρ αν εκρινε μμον ηεsαsν μνhοινε ναι ετσυνhιστα μμοου ουαατου αλλα ντοου hραι νhητου ευωπ μμοου αυω ευsωs μμοου νμμαυ ενσενοει αν .
English: For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Coptic: ανον δε ννενsουsου μμον αν πβολ μπsι . αλλα καταπsι μπκανων ενταπνουτε τοsf ναν ετρενπωh sαουsι sαρωτν hωττηυτν .
English: But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Coptic: ντανρτhε γαρ αν ννετενσεπηh αν sαρωτν . ανπορsν εβολ . ανπωh γαρ sαρωτν hμπευαγγελιον μπεχριστοσ .
English: For we don't stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn't reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
Coptic: ννενsουsου μμον αν πβολ μπsι ηhν hενhισε εννουν αν νε εουνταν δε μμαυ νουhελπισ εσsαναυξανε νcιτετνπιστισ ετρεναιαι νhητ τηυτν καταπενκανων ευhουο
English: not boasting beyond proper limits in other men's labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
Coptic: ετρενευαγγελιζε ννετπισα μμωτν hνουκανων αν εμπων αν πε . ετρενsουsου μμον hννετσβτωτ .
English: so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Coptic: πετsουsου δε μμοf μαρεfsουsου μμοf hμπjοεισ .
English: But 'he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.'
Coptic: μπετνασυνhιστα γαρ μμοf αν μαυααf πε πσωτπ . αλλα πετερε πjοεισ νασυνhιστα μμοf πε .
English: For it isn't he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Coptic: νανουσ ενετετναανεχε μμοι νουκουι μμντατhητ . αλλα τετνανεχε .
English: I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Coptic: tκωh γαρ ερωτν νουκωh ντεπνουτε . αισβτωτ γαρ επαρhιστα μμωτν νουπαρθενοσ εσουααβ . νουhαι νουωτ πεχριστοσ .
English: For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Coptic: tρhοτε δε jεμηποτε ντhε νταπhοf εξαπατα νευhα hντεfπανουργια νσετακο νcινετνhητ εβολ hντμντhαπλουσ μνπτββο ετjι εhουν επεχριστοσ .
English: But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Coptic: εsjε πετνηυ γαρ ναταsεοειs νητν νκειησουσ εμπενταsεοειs μμοf . ητετναjι κεπνευμα εμπετνjιτf ηκεευαγγελιον εμπετνsοπf ερωτν . ειε καλωσ τετνανεχε .
English: For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different 'good news', which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.
Coptic: tμεευε γαρ jεμπιsωωτ νλααυ παραννοc ναποστολοσ .
English: For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Coptic: εsjε ανγ ουhιδιωτησ δε hμπsαjε . αλλα hμπσοουν αν . αλλα hνουοειs νιμ ανουονhν ερωτν hνhωβ νιμ .
English: But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
Coptic: μη ουνοβε πενταιααf εαιθββιοι jεκαασ ντωτν ετετνεjισε . jεαιευαγγελιζε νητν μπευαγγελιον μπνουτε νjινjη .
English: Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?
Coptic: αισυλα νhενκεεκκλησια . αιjι μπαοψωνιον εειδιακονει νητν .
English: I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Coptic: αυω ντεριsωωτ εειhατν τηυτν μπιουεh hισε ελααυ παsωωτ γαρ ανεσνηυ jοκf εβολ ντερουει εβολ hντμακεδονια αυω hνhωβ νιμ αιhαρεh εροι ετμhροs ερωτν αυω ον tναhαρεh .
English: When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
Coptic: ουν ουμε ντεπεχριστοσ νhητ . jεμπειsουsου ναωjν αν εhουν εροι hννεκλιμα νταχαια .
English: As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Coptic: ετβεου jεtμε μμωτν αν . πνουτε πετσοουν .
English: Why? Because I don't love you? God knows.
Coptic: πετιειρε δε μμοf tναααf ον . jεκαασ ειεcωjε εβολ νταφορμη ννετουεsαφορμη . jεευεhε εροου hμπετουsουsου μμοου νhητf ντενhε hωων .
English: But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
Coptic: ναι γαρ ντειμινε hεναποστολοσ ννουj νε . hενεργατησ νκροf νε . ευjιhρβ hωσ αποστολοσ μπεχριστοσ .
