< Ephesians 3 >

1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
ⲇ̅ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲱϣ ⲉⲛⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
5 which in other generations was not made known to people, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϭⲟⲗⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅.
6 that the non-Jews are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲙⲙⲉⲧⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
7 of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ.
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews the unsearchable riches of Christ,
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲭⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
9 and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things; (aiōn g165)
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲑⲏⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲛⲧ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. (aiōn g165)
10 to the intent that now through the church the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places,
ⲓ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 according to the purpose of the ages which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ·
13 Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which is your glory.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲟⲟⲩ·
14 For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲕⲱⲗϫ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ.
16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅.
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲓϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϣⲓⲁⲓ̈. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϣⲓⲕⲉ.
19 and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲏ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅.
21 to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϫⲱⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ· (aiōn g165)
