Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;

2 ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲫⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ .

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.

3 ϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲉⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ .

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

4 ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲑⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲉϫⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ .

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

5 ⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲉⲙϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ .

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

6 ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲏ ⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ .

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

7 ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲙⲡⲉⲛⲓⲣⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ .

For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn't behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

8 ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ ⲛϫⲓⲛϫⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲙⲡⲓⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲓⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ϫⲉⲛⲧⲉⲛϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲁϩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϫⲉⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ .

neither did we eat bread from anyone's hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you;

9 ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲏⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ .

not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

10 ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲁⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲑⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ .

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.'

11 ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲃⲉϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲣ ϩⲗⲓ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲓⲉⲣⲅⲟⲥ .

For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.

12 ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ϧⲉⲛⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ⲉⲩⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ .

Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

13 ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ .

But you, brothers, don't be weary in doing well.

14 ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲛϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲛⲓⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁ ⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϣⲧⲉⲙⲙⲟⲩϫⲧ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲓⲡⲓ

If any man doesn't obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

15 ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲁϫⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁϥ .

Don't count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16 ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ .

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.

18 ⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
