1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints (in Ephesus) who are faithful in Christ Jesus:
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,

7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉϫⲉⲕⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
11 in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;

12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation, —in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.

15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

18 having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧϭⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ.
20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)

22 He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,

23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
