Ephesians 6
1 CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲟϯ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ.
2 “Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with a promise; )
ⲃ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲓϯ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲱϣ.
3 that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived upon earth.”
ⲅ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ.
4 And, ye fathers, exasperate not your children: but educate them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲓⲓⲟϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯϫⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲕⲁϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪.
5 Servants, be obedient to your masters after the flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as unto Christ;
ⲉ̅ⲛⲓⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲉⲣⲧⲉⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲡ⳪.
6 not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul;
ⲋ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲃⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲁⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲯⲩⲭⲏ.
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not unto men:
ⲍ̅ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ.
8 knowing that whatsoever good a man doeth, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be a bondman, or whether he be free.

9 And ye masters, do the same things to them, avoiding menacing language: knowing that you also yourselves have a master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ ⲁⲣⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲱ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳪ ϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉϩⲟ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ.
10 Finally, brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
ⲓ̅⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲙⲛⲟⲙϯ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ.
11 Be clothed in the panoply of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲓ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϧⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
12 For our conflict is not merely against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against wicked spirits in the aerial regions. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϯ ϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ. (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore take the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all things to stand.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϭⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϧⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
14 Stand therefore, girded about your loins with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 and underneath your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 and over all lifting up the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϭⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϣⲉⲃϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲱϣⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲟⲑⲛⲉϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 praying at every opportunity with all prayer and supplication in Spirit, and watching for this very purpose with perseverance and intercession for all the saints;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲣⲱⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
19 and for me that there may be given unto me utterance to open my mouth with boldness, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 for which I am an ambassador in bonds; that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 But that ye also may know the things which concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus will inform you of the whole, a beloved brother, and faithful in the Lord:

22 whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
