Ephesians 2
1 At one time you were dead in your sins and evil actions,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
2 living your lives according to the ways of the world, under the control of the devil, whose spirit is at work in those who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲏⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ. (aiōn g165)
3 All of us were once like that, our behavior determined by the desires of our sinful human nature and our evil way of thinking. Like everyone else, in our nature we were children of anger.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲫⲩⲥⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ·
4 But God in his generous mercy, because of the amazing love he had for us
ⲇ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉϥⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
5 even while we were dead in our sins, has made us alive together with Christ. Trusting in him has saved you!
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩϫⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ
6 He raised us up with Christ, and in Christ Jesus seated us with him in heaven,
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲛ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲑⲙ̅ⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
7 so that in all eternity to come he could demonstrate the amazing extent of his grace in showing us kindness through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. (aiōn g165)
8 For you've been saved by grace through trusting in him—it's not through yourselves, it's the gift of God!
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲛϩⲉⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ· ⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲡⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ
9 This has nothing to do with human effort, so don't be proud of yourselves.
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
10 We're the product of what God does, created in Christ Jesus to do good, which God already planned that we should do.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲛⲡⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ. ⲉⲁϥⲥⲟⲛⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϫⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ̅ⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ·
11 So you who are “foreigners” humanly-speaking, called “uncircumcised” by those who are “circumcised” (which is only a procedure carried out by human beings), you need to remember
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
12 that once you had no relationship to Christ. You were barred as foreigners from being citizens of Israel, strangers to the agreement God had promised. You had no hope and you lived in the world without God.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲟⲧⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲧⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ⲙⲟ ⲉⲛⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ·
13 But now, in Christ Jesus, you who were once a long way off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
14 Christ is our peace. Through his body he made the two into one, and broke down the separating wall of hostility that divided us,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ. ⲉⲁϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲗϫⲗ̅. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϫⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
15 freeing us from the law with its requirements and regulations. He did this so he could create in himself one new person out of the two and so make peace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲟⲅⲙⲁ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ.
16 and completely reconcile both of them to God through the cross as if they were just one body, having destroyed our hostility towards each other.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
17 He came and shared the good news of peace with those of you who were far away, and those who were nearby,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ.
18 because through him we both gain access to the Father through the same Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
19 That means you're no longer strangers and foreigners; you are fellow citizens of God's people and belong to God's family
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲙ̅ⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲓⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲓ̈ⲗⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϯⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲏⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
20 that's being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲁⲩⲕⲉⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ (ⲛ̅)ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲟϩ
21 In him the whole building is joined together, growing to form a holy temple for the Lord.

22 You too are being built together in him as a place for God to live by the Spirit.
