< Ephesians 3 >

1 For this reason I Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
2 (if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,

3 that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,

5 which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of 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 [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;
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 am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.

8 To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

9 and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things, (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 in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

11 according to [the] purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲑⲟϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪. (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.

13 Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],

16 in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;

18 in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;

19 and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.

20 But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,
