Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
ⲇ̅ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲱϣ ⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϭⲟⲗⲡϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ
6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲩⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲩⲙⲙⲉⲧⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
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.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲭⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages (aiōn g165) has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲑⲏⲡ ϫⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲛⲧ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ (aiōn g165)
10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
ⲓ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲁⲧⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲧⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲉⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲕⲱⲗϫ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲁⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
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 ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲡⲛⲁ
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲓ ϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲥⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϣⲓⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲡϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡϣⲓⲕⲉ
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
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,
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲏ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ
