Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

2 ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲧⲉⲙⲑⲣⲟⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲕⲁϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲧⲉⲙϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϫⲉⲁϥϧⲱⲛⲧ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ .

not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.

3 ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲑⲣⲉ ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲣⲏϯ ϫⲉⲁⲥϣⲧⲉⲙⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛϫⲉϯⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ .

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

4 ⲡⲓⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓⲥⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲉⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉ .

he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

5 ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲉⲧⲓ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲁⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ .

Don't you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

6 ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϭⲱⲣⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲉϥⲥⲏ ⲟⲩ .

Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

7 ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲥⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲗⲟϫϥ ϧⲉⲛⲧⲙⲏϯ .

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

8 ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲉϭⲱⲣⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲛⲧⲉⲣⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϥⲛⲁⲕⲟⲣϥϥ ϧⲉⲛⲫⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲓⲛⲓ .

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

9 ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲓⲛⲓ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϧⲉⲛϫⲟⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ .

even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲡϭⲓ ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲛⲏ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲑⲃⲉϫⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲉⲡ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ .

and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ .

Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

12 ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲥⲉϯϩⲁⲡ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩϯⲙⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛϯⲙⲉⲧϭⲓ ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ .

that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲉϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲉϫⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲏ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲁⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲁⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲥⲉⲧⲡ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ .

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

14 ⲉⲧⲉⲫⲏ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉⲛϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ .

to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲛⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲛ .

So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

16 ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲥ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ .

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

17 ⲉϥⲉϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ .

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
