2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you 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 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
ⲍ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲣⲁ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.

9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
ⲓ̅ⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
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 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲩϩⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ.
18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲡϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,

20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ⲙⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϫⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ.
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϩⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
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 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲙ̅ⲕⲟⲟϩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲛⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϩⲁⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,

27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
