Ephesians 5
1 Learn then to imitate God as his beloved children,
ⲁ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ
2 and to lead lives of love, just as Christ also loved you and gave himself up for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for "an odor of sweetness."
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲟⲥⲫⲟⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲥϯⲛⲟⲩϥⲉ
3 As for sexual vice and every kind of impurity or lust, it is unbecoming for you as Christians even to mention them;
ⲅ̅ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓ ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓⲧⲟ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲩⲧⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲓⲛⲟⲩ ⲣⲱ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
4 so too with vulgarity and buffoonery and foolish jesting. Such words become you not, but rather thanksgiving.

5 For be well assured that no one guilty of fornication or impurity or covetousness which is idolatry, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲏ ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲏ ⲙⲁⲓⲧⲟ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲧϥⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 Let no man deceive you with empty arguments, for it is these vices that bring down the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience;
ⲋ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲣϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ
7 therefore do not become sharers with them.
ⲍ̅ⲙⲡⲣϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲏⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ
8 For you were once darkness, but are now in the Lord.

9 Lead the life of children of light, for the fruit of the light consists in every kind of goodness and uprightness and truth.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ
10 Examine carefully what is well pleasing to the Lord,
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness, but rather expose them.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲣⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲡⲓⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ
12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by such men in secret;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲉⲛϣⲗⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲡⲕⲉϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ
13 but all these things, when exposed, are by the light made manifest, and what is made manifest is light.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲡⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲉ
14 For this reason it is said, "Awake, thou sleeper! Arise from the dead; And Christ shall shine upon thee!"
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲅ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲛⲅⲗⲟ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲣⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ
15 See to it, then, that you carry on your life carefully; not as foolish, but as wise men.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲃⲉ
16 Buy up opportunity, for the times are evil.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲟⲩ
17 For this reason do not be thoughtless, but learn to know what the Lord’s will is.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲣϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
18 Do not be drunk with wine, in which is riotous living, but drink deep in the Spirit,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲣϯϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧϣⲛⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ
19 when you talk together; with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and with all your hearts making music unto the Lord;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲯⲁⲗⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲱⲇⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲯⲁⲗⲗⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
20 and at all times for all things give thanks to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲧⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ
21 Submit yourselves one to another out of reverence for Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
22 Wives likewise to their husbands as to the Lord,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
23 because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ
24 But as the church submits itself to Christ, so also wives to their husbands in everything.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ
26 in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word,
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲃⲃⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡϫⲱⲕⲙ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ
27 so as to present her to himself, the church glorified, without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish; but on the contrary holy and faultless.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ⲉⲥⲧⲁⲓⲏⲩ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲱϩⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲏ ⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲏ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ
28 That is how husbands ought to love their wives, as they love their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϣϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it as Christ does the church;
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲥⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲥ ⲛϥⲑⲁⲗⲡⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ
30 for we are members of his body.
ⲗ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲕⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϥⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
32 There is a deep mystery here - I am speaking of Christ and his church.

33 But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.
