1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,

2 to the saints in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
ⲅ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the saints,
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
6 which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉϥϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉ.
7 as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,
ⲍ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲣⲁ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
8 who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅·
9 Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
10 to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,
ⲓ̅ⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
12 Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
13 who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate [us] into the reign of the Son of His love,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲉⲁϥⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
14 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲓⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲡϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ.
16 because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲛⲧ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲏ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
17 and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲩϩⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ.
18 And himself is the head of the body — the assembly — who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all [things] — himself — first,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲡϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
19 because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
20 and through him to reconcile the all things to himself — having made peace through the blood of his cross — through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ.
21 And you — once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ⲙⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϫⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ.
22 in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϩⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
23 if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under the heaven, of which I became — I Paul — a ministrant.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲉⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲉϥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲡⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲏⲣⲩⲝ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ.
24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲙ̅ⲕⲟⲟϩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲛⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϩⲁⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
25 of which I — I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲧⲣⲁϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
26 the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, (aiōn g165)

27 to whom God did will to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations — which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ.
28 whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
