Coptic: jεκαασ γαρ αν ερε ουμτον sωπε νhοινε. ντε ουθλιψισ sωπε νητν. αλλα hν ουsωs
English: For not that a relief might be to others and a tribulation to you, but that an equality might be in this present time.
Coptic: hμ πεειουοειs τενου ντε πετνhουο sωπε επsωωτ ννη jεκαασ hωωf ερε πεhουο ννη sωπε επετνsωωτ jε ερε ουsωs sωπε.

English: but not only (so), but also having had hand laid upon him by the churches, to travel with us in this grace, this which was ministered by us unto [a] glory of the Lord and our readiness of heart:
Coptic: ενσιhε μμον μπαι μηπωσ ντε ουα τεcουτωλμ ερον hμ πεειταjρο ετουδιακονι μμοf εβολ hιτοοτν
English: withdrawing ourselves from this, that any one should [not] blame us in this amount which is ministered by us:
Coptic: τνfι γαρ μπροουs νhενπετνανουου μπεμτο εβολ μπjοεισ μματε αν. αλλα μπεμτο εβολ ννκερωμε.
English: for we take care for good things, not only before the Lord, but also before [the] men.
Coptic: αντννοου δε νμμαυ μπενκεσον παι εντανδοκιμαζε μμοf hν hαh νσοπ ευσπουδαιοσ πε. τενου δε νhουε σπουδαιοσ. hν ουναhτε δε εναsωf εhουν ερωτν.
English: But we sent our brother also with them, he (lit. this) whom we approved in many things many times to be (lit. being) earnest, but now more eager (lit. hasting) in a great confidence which there is (to him) in you.
Coptic: ειτε hα τιτοσ πακοινωνοσ πε. αυω νsβρρhωβ εhουν ερωτν ειτε νενσνηυ ναποστολοσ νε ννεκκλησια. πεοου μπεχσ.
English: Whether (any enquire) about Titos, (he is) my friend and fellow worker for (lit. into) you: or our brethren, they are apostles of the churches, (the) glory of Christ.
Coptic: πουωνh cε εβολ ντετναγαπη αυω πενsουsου ετνειρε μμοf hαρωτν. ουονhου εροου μπεμτο εβολ ννεκκλησια
English: (The) manifestation then of your love and our boast which we make about you, manifest it to them before the churches.
Coptic: εθβε τδιακονια γαρ ται ετsοοπ εhουν ενετουααβ. ουhουο εροι πε εσhαι νητν.
English: For indeed concerning the ministration which they do for the saints, this is superfluous for me to write to you:
Coptic: tσοουν γαρ μπετνουροτ παι εtsουsου μμοι νhητf hαρωτν hν μμακεδων. jε α ταχαια εβτωτσ jιν σνουf. αυω α πετνκωh τβσ ουμηηsε.
English: for I know your readiness, this of which I make (a) boast about you to them of (the) Macedonia, that they of [the] Achaia prepared themselves a year ago; but your zeal gave zeal to very many of them.
Coptic: αιτννοου δε ννεσνηυ jεκαασ εννε πενsουsου ωjν ετνειρε μμοf hαρωτν hμ πεεισα. αλλα jεκαασ κατα θε ενειjω μμοσ ντετνsωπε ετετνσβτωτ.
English: But we sent the brethren to you, that our boast which we make about you, may not be empty in this respect; that, according as I was saying, ye might be prepared:
Coptic: μηποτε νσεει νμμαι νcι μμακεδων νσεhε ερωτν εντετνσβτωτ αν. ντνjιsιπε ανον hμ πειταjρο jε ννενjοοσ jε ντωτν
English: lest by any means should they of (the) Macedonia come with me, and find you not prepared, we (pron.) might be ashamed, that we should not say, Ye,' in this measure.
Coptic: αιοπf cε jε ουαναγκαιον πε εσεπσ νεσνηυ jε ευεsρπει sαρωτν. νσεsρπσοβτε μπετνσμου εντατετνερητ μμοf jιν νsορπ. ετρεfsωπε εfσβτωτ ντεειhε hωσ σμου αυω hωσ jι νcονσ αν.
English: I thought it necessary then to exhort the brethren, that they should come before to you, and prepare before your blessing, which ye promised beforehand, that it might be prepared, but thus as [a] beneficence and not (as) extortion.
Coptic: παι δε πε jε πετjο hν ουtσο εfναωhσ ον hν ουtσο. αυω πετjο hν ουσμου εfναωhσ ον hν ουσμου.
English: But this it is, that he who is sparing (in) sowing shall reap also sparingly; and he who soweth beneficently shall reap also beneficently:
Coptic: πουα πουα πενταfτοsf hμ πεfhητ hν ουλυπη αν η hν ουhτορ. ουρεft γαρ εfροουτ πετερε πνουτε με μμοf.
English: each one according as he chose for himself in his heart, not grudgingly  or from a 'necessity: for a rejoicing giver (it is) whom God loveth.
Coptic: ουν cομ δε μπνουτε εταsε hμοτ νιμ εhουν ερωτν. jεκαασ hν hωβ νιμ νουοειs νιμ ευντητν μμαυ μπετνρωsε τηρf. ντετνρhουο εhουν εhωβ νιμ ναγαθον.
English: But it is possible for God to make all grace multiply to you, that (the) sufficiency, being to you in everything always, ye may abound in every good thing:
Coptic: κατα θε ετσηh jε αfjωωρε εβολ. αft ννhηκε. τεfδικαιοσυνη sοοπ sα ενεh.
English: according as it is written: 'He distributed, he gave to the pool; his righteousness abideth for ever.'
Coptic: πετt δε μπεcροc μπετjο μν ουοεικ εουομf. fναt. αυω νfταsο μπετνjο. νfαυξανε ννγενημα ντετνδικαιοσυνη.
English: But he who supplieth, the seed to him who soweth shall supply the bread also to him for [an] eating; and he shall cause your plants to grow; he shall cause them to grow, namely the fruits of your righteousness:
Coptic: ετετνο νρμμαο hν hωβ νιμ εhουν εμντhαπλουσ νιμ. ται ετρhωβ εβολ hιτοοτν ευsπhμοτ ντε πνουτε.
English: ye being rich in everything, in all singleness, this which worketh through us a thanksgiving to God.
Coptic: jε τδιακονια μπειsμsε νεσsοοπ μματε αν εσjωκ εβολ ννεcρωh ννετουααβ. αλλα εσρπκερhουο hιτν hαh νsπhμοτ ντε πνουτε.
English: Because this ministration of this service not only is (at work) filling up the wants of the saints [only], but also aboundeth through many thanksgivings to God;
Coptic: αυω εβολ hιτοοτσ ντδοκιμη ντεειδιακονια ενtεοου μπνουτε εjν θυποταγη ντετνhομολογια εhουν επευαγγελιον μπεχσ. μν τμντhαπλουσ ντκοινωνια εhουν εροου. μν ουον νιμ.
English: through the proof of this ministration. Ye are glorifying God for the subjection of your confession unto the Gospel of Christ, and the singleness of the fellowship with them and all;
Coptic: μν πευσοπσ hαρωτν ευουεs τηυτν ετβε τεχαρισ μπνουτε ετναsωσ εjν τηυτν.
English: and their prayer which they make for you, being in hearty love to you, because of the grace of God, which aboundeth in you.
Coptic: πεhμοτ μπνουτε sηπ εhραι εjν τεfδωρεα ετεντνναsjοοσ αν
English: But thanks be given to God for his free gift unspeakable.
Coptic: ανοκ δε παυλοσ tπαρακαλει μμωτν εβολ hιτν τμντρμραs μν τμντhακ μπεχσ. παι ειhατε τηυτν μεν tθββιηυ νhητ τηυτν. εειτηκ δε νhητ μμωτν ενthατε τηυτν αν.
English: But I Paul beseech you through the meekness and the fairness of Christ, as being humble indeed among you in your presence; but being away from you I have firmness among you:
Coptic: tσοπσ δε ετραsωπε ειτηκ νhητ ενthατε τηυτν αν. hμ πναhτε εtμεευε jε τετντολμα εjν hοινε. ναι ετμεευε ερον hωσ ενμοοsε κατα σαρξ.
English: but I pray to have firmness, not being with you, in this confidence, this with which I think to be bold against some, these who think of us that we walked according to flesh.
Coptic: ενμοοsε γαρ hν τσαρξ. ννενhηκ αν κατα σαρξ.
English: For we walked according to flesh, (yet) we were not (serving as) soldiers according to flesh.
Coptic: νhοπλον γαρ ντενμντματοι νhενσαρκικον αν νε. αλλα hενcομ νε ντε πνουτε ευsοοπ ευsορsρ ννετταjρηυ ενsορsρ νμμεευε.
English: For the weapons of your soldiering are not carnal, but they are powers of God, unto an overthrowing of the things which are strong, unto a hurling down of arguments,
Coptic: αυω jισε νιμ εττωουν εhραι εjμ πσοουν μπνουτε. ενσωκ νhητ νιμ ετμντστμητ μπεχσ
English: and all heights which raise themselves against the knowledge of God, and we are leading captive all thoughts into (the) obedience of Christ;
Coptic: αυω ενσβτωτ εjι μπεκβα μμντατσωτμ νιμ. εσsανjωκ εβολ νcι τετνμντρεfσωτμ.
English: and being prepared to avenge all disobedience, if your obedience should be filled first.
Coptic: cωsτ ενετμπετνμτο εβολ. πετμεευε εροf jε ανγ πα πεχσ. μαρεfμεευε ον επαι νhητf jε κατα θε εντf πα πεχσ. ανον πωf hωων.
English: (Is it) that ye look at the things which are in your presence? He who trusteth that he is of Christ, let him argue this again in himself, that, according as he is of Christ, thus are we also.
Coptic: εειsανsουsου γαρ μμοι επεhουο ετβε τενεξουσια ται εντα πδοεισ ταασ επετνκωτ αυω επετνsορsρ αν. νtναjιsιπε αν πε.
English: For if I should boast myself more about the authority which the Lord gave to me unto [an] edification, and not unto your ruin, I shall (lit. will) not be ashamed.
Coptic: jεκαασ δε ννεκhε εροσ εsjε ειθρsο μμωτν hιτν νεπιστολη.
English: That I may not be as one frightening you through the epistles.
Coptic: jε νεπιστολη μεν πεjαf hορs. αυω σεcμcομ. τπαρhουσια δε μπεfσωμα cοοβ. αυω πεfsαjε σοsf.
English: Because the epistles indeed are weighty and they are strong; but the presence of the body is weak, and the words contemptible.
Coptic: μαρε παι cε μεευε επαι jε νθε ετνο μμοσ hμ πενsαjε hιτν νενεπιστολη ντνhατε τηυτν αν. ανhεντεειμινε ον ενhατε τηυτν hμ πhωβ.
English: This again let such a one think, that, according as we are in (the) word through the epistles, not being with you, this is as we are in (the) deed, being with you.
Coptic: ντντολμα γαρ αν εκρινε μμον. η εsαsν μν hοινε. ναι ετσυνhιστα μμοου ουαατου. αλλα ντοου hραι νhητου ευωπ μμοου. αυω ευsωs μμοου νμμαυ ενσενοι αν.
English: For we are not bold to compare ourselves or to measure ourselves with some who commend themselves: but they (pron.) in themselves are measuring themselves, and are comparing themselves with themselves, and are not understanding.
Coptic: ανον δε ννενsουsου μμον αν πβολ μπsι. αλλα κατα πsι μπκανων εντα πνουτε τοsf ναν ετρενπωh sα ουsι sαρωτν hωτ τηυτν.
English: But we (pron.) were not boasting ourselves in things without measure, but according to the measure of the canon which God ordained to us, to cause us to reach unto it in a measure, and one as far as you.
Coptic: ντανρθε γαρ αν ννετενσεπηh αν sαρωτν. ανπορsν εβολ. ανπωh γαρ sαρωτν hμ πευαγγελιον μπεχσ.
English: For not as not reaching to you we stretch (out) ourselves to you the more: for we reached to you also in the Gospel of Christ:
Coptic: ννενsουsου μμον αν πβολ μπsι. η hν hενhισε εννουν αν νε ευνταν δε μμαυ νουhελπισ εσsαναυξανε νcι τετνπιστισ. ετρεναιαει νhητ τηυτν κατα πεκκανων ευhουο
English: not boasting ourselves in unmeasuredness (plural), in toils of other men but having a hope, should your faith grow, to cause it to become great in you, according to our canon unto an abundance,
Coptic: ετρενευαγγελιζε ννετπισα μμωτν hν ουκανων αν εμπων αν πε. ετρενsουsου μμον hν νετσβτωτ
English: to preach glad tidings to you, things which are greater than those, not in a canon of other men (and) to boast ourselves of the things which were prepared.
Coptic: πετsουsου δε μμοf μαρεfsουsου μμοf hμ πjοεισ.
English: But he who boasteth himself, let him boast himself in the Lord.
Coptic: μπετνασυνhιστα γαρ μμοf αν μαυααf πε πσωτπ. αλλα πετερε πjοεισ νασυνhιστα μμοf πε.
English: For not he who commendeth himself is the chosen, but he whom the Lord will commend.
Coptic: νανουσ ενετετναανεχε μμοι νουκουι μμνταθητ. αλλα τετνανεχε.
English: Would that ye were to bear with me a little in my senselessness: but be longsuffering with me.
Coptic: tκωh γαρ ερωτν νουκωh ντε πνουτε. αισβτωτ γαρ επαρhιστα μμωτν νουπαρθενοσ εσουααβ. νουhαι νουωτ πεχσ.
English: For I am jealous over you in a jealousy of God: for I united you to one husband a pure virgin to Christ.
Coptic: tρhοτε δε jε μηποτε νθε ντα πhοf εξαπατα νευhα hν τεfπανουργια νσετακο νcι νετνhητ εβολ hν τμντhαπλουσ μν πτββο ετjι εhουν επεχσ.
English: But I fear lest by any means as the serpent deceived Eva in his craftiness, your thoughts may be corrupted from the singleness and the pureness which is in Christ.
Coptic: εsjε πετνηυ γαρ ναταsεοειs νητν νκεισ εμπενταsεοειs μμοf. η τετναjι κεπνα εμπετνjιτf η κεευαγγελιον εμπετνsοπf ερωτν. ειε καλωσ τετνανεχε.
English: For if indeed he who cometh will proclaim to you another Jesus (whom) we proclaimed [him] not, or ye will receive another spirit (whom) ye received [him]: not, or another Gospel (which) ye accepted [it] not, well forsooth will ye bear with (him).
Coptic: tμεευε γαρ jε μπιsωωτ νλααυ παρα ννοc ναποστολοσ
English: For I think that I am in want of nothing in comparison with the apostles who surpass.
Coptic: εsjε ανγ ουhιδιωτησ δε hμ πsαjε. αλλα hμ πσοουν αν. αλλα hν ουοειs νιμ ανουονhν ερωτν hν hωβ νιμ.
English: If I am an unlearned one in (the) word,. but not in (the) knowledge; but in everything we manifested ourselves to you among all.
Coptic: μη ουνοβε πενταιααf εαιθββιοι jεκαασ ντωτν ετετνεjισε. jε αιευαγγελιζε νητν μπευαγγελιον μπνουτε νjινjη.
English: Is it a sin which I did (in), humiliating myself, that ye might be exalted, because I proclaimed to you freely the Gospel of God ?
Coptic: αισυλα νhενκεεκκλησια. αιjι μπαοψωνιον εειδιακονι νητν.
English: I robbed churches; I took wages because of ministering to you,
Coptic: αυω ντεριsωωτ εειhατν τηυτν μπουεh hισε ελααυ. παsωωτ γαρ α νεσνηυ jοκf εβολ ντερουει εβολ hν τμακεδονια. αυω hν hωβ νιμ αιhαρεh εροι ετμhροs ερωτν. αυω ον tναhαρεh.
English: and being with you, having been in want, I put not burden upon one of you; for my deficiency the brethren who came from (the) Macedonia filled it up; and in everything I kept myself, being unburden-some to (lit. from) you, and I shall keep (so) still .
Coptic: ουν ουμε ντε πεχσ νhητ. jε μπειsουsου ναωjν αν εhουν εροι hν νεκλιμα νταχαια.
English: The truth of Christ is in me, that this boast will not be shut off from me in the places of [the] Achaia.
Coptic: ετβε ου jε tμε μμωτν αν. πνουτε πετσοουν.
English: Why? Because I love you not. God knoweth.
Coptic: πεtειρε δε μμοf tναααf ον. jεκασ ειεcωjε εβολ νταφορμη ννετουεsαφορμη. jε ευεhε εροου hμ πετουsουsου μμοου νhητf ντενhε hωων.
English: But that which I do, I shall (lit. will) do it still, that I may cut off (the) pretext of them who wish to find pretext; that they may be found in that in which they boast themselves according as ourselves.
Coptic: ναι γαρ ντεειμινε hεναποστολοσ ννουj νε. hενεργατησ νκροf νε. ευjιhρβ hωσ αποστολοσ μπεχσ.
English: For these are as false apostles, workers of subtlety, changing themselves into (the) form of apostles of Christ.
Coptic: αυω νουsπηρε αν τε. ντοf γαρ πσατανασ sαfjιhρβ hωσ αγγελοσ ντε πουοειν.
English: And it is not a wonder. Satan also himself changeth himself into (the) form of an angel of (the) light.
Coptic: νουνοc αν cε πε. εsjε νεfκεδιακονοσ jιhρβ hωσ διακονοσ ντε τδικαιοσυνη. ναι ερε τευhαη ναsωπε κατα νευhβηυε.
