Ephesians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to God's will, to the Christians in Ephesus and those who trust in Christ Jesus.
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all that's spiritually good in the heavenly world,
ⲅ̅ϥⲥⲙⲁⲙⲁⲁⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲛ ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
4 just as he chose us to be in him before the beginning of this world, so that in love we could be holy and without fault before him.
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲧⲡⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ
5 He decided in advance to adopt us as his children, working through Jesus Christ to bring us to himself. He was happy to do this because this is what he wanted.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲧⲱⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ
6 So we praise him for his glorious grace that he so kindly gave us in his beloved Son.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ
7 Through him we gain salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins as a result of his priceless grace
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲡⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ
8 that he so generously provided for us, together with all wisdom and understanding.

9 He revealed to us his previously-hidden will through which he was happy to pursue his plan
ⲑ̅ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲧⲱⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ
10 at the appropriate time to bring everyone together in Christ—those in heaven and those on the earth.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉϫⲉⲕ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
11 In him—we were chosen beforehand, according to the plan of the one who is working everything out according to his will,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ
12 for the purpose that we who were the first to hope in Christ could praise his glory.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
13 In him—you too have heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation. In him—because you trusted in him you were stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit's promise,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
14 which is a down-payment on our inheritance when God redeems what he's kept safe for himself—us, who will praise and give him glory!
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲏⲃ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ
15 That's the reason, because I've heard of your trust in the Lord Jesus and the love that you have for all Christians,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
16 why I never stop thanking God for you and remember you in my prayers.

17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom to see and know him as he really is.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ
18 May your minds be enlightened so you can understand the hope he's called you to— the glorious riches he promises as an inheritance to his holy people.

19 May you also understand God's amazing power

20 that he demonstrated in raising Christ from the dead. God seated Christ at his right hand in heaven,

21 far above any other ruler, authority, power, or lord, or any leader with all their titles—not only in this world, but also in the coming world too. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲉⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓ ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓ ϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲧϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲧⲁⲩⲟϥ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ (aiōn g165)
22 God has made everything subject to the authority of Christ, and has given him the responsibility as head over everything for the church,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁϥⲑⲃⲃⲓⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ
23 which is his body, filled full and made complete by Christ, who fills and brings everything to completion.
