Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ.
2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:
ⲃ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
3 “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”
ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅ̅ⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ·
4 You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ·
5 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
ⲋ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲣⲉϥⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
ⲍ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ.
8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ. ϥⲛⲁϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ.
9 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲣⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱⲛⲧ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲓϩⲟ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ·
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
ⲓ̅ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲁⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲙⲓϣⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ· (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲁⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲉⲕϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ.
14 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲱⲧϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ
16 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲩⲣⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲉϣⲙ̅ⲥⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲣⲟ.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲣⲓⲕⲉⲫⲁⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints.

19 Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.

23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
