5 because of the hope that has been stored up for you in heaven, which you have heard through the Word of Truth in the Gospel.

6 This has reached you, just as it is present in the whole world, where it grows and bears fruit, as it has also done in you, since the day when you first heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

7 just as you learned it from Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus.

9 Then, too, from the day when we first heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and requesting that you be filled with the knowledge of his will, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of God, being pleasing in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,

13 For he has rescued us from the power of darkness, and he has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature.

16 For in him was created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created through him and in him.

17 And he is before all, and in him all things continue.

18 And he is the head of his body, the Church. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that in all things he may hold primacy.

19 For the Father is well-pleased that all fullness reside in him,

20 and that, through him, all things be reconciled to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, for the things that are on earth, as well as the things that are in heaven.
ⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲉϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥ ̇⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
21 And you, though you had been, in times past, understood to be foreigners and enemies, with works of evil,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϫⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ.
22 yet now he has reconciled you, by his body of flesh, through death, so as to offer you, holy and immaculate and blameless, before him.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϩⲉⲧⲡ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲁϭⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲣⲓⲕⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ.
23 So then, continue in the faith: well-founded and steadfast and immovable, by the hope of the Gospel that you have heard, which has been preached throughout all creation under heaven, the Gospel of which I, Paul, have become a minister.

24 For now I rejoice in my passion on your behalf, and I complete in my flesh the things that are lacking in the Passion of Christ, for the sake of his body, which is the Church.

27 To them, God willed to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ and the hope of his glory within you.
