Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
ⲃ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ.
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲕⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏ ⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
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,
ⲉ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭ ⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅.
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,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
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.
ⲍ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲇⲱⲣⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ.
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
ⲏ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲥⲃⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲥ.
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϣ ⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ. (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,
ⲓ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ.

12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲕⲱⲗϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲕⲉⲗⲓ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.

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,

17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲑⲣⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛϯ.
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
