2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all that's spiritually good in the heavenly world,
ⲅ̅ϥⲥⲙⲁⲙⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
4 just as he chose us to be in him before the beginning of this world, so that in love we could be holy and without fault before him.
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲧⲡⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲛⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
5 He decided in advance to adopt us as his children, working through Jesus Christ to bring us to himself. He was happy to do this because this is what he wanted.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣϫⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲧⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ.
6 So we praise him for his glorious grace that he so kindly gave us in his beloved Son.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ.
7 Through him we gain salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins as a result of his priceless grace
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲡⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ.
8 that he so generously provided for us, together with all wisdom and understanding.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉⲥⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
9 He revealed to us his previously-hidden will through which he was happy to pursue his plan
ⲑ̅ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲧⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅.
10 at the appropriate time to bring everyone together in Christ—those in heaven and those on the earth.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉϫⲉⲕⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
11 In him—we were chosen beforehand, according to the plan of the one who is working everything out according to his will,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣϫⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ
12 for the purpose that we who were the first to hope in Christ could praise his glory.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
13 In him—you too have heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation. In him—because you trusted in him you were stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit's promise,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
14 which is a down-payment on our inheritance when God redeems what he's kept safe for himself—us, who will praise and give him glory!
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲏⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ·
15 That's the reason, because I've heard of your trust in the Lord Jesus and the love that you have for all Christians,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
16 why I never stop thanking God for you and remember you in my prayers.

17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom to see and know him as he really is.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ
18 May your minds be enlightened so you can understand the hope he's called you to— the glorious riches he promises as an inheritance to his holy people.

19 May you also understand God's amazing power

20 that he demonstrated in raising Christ from the dead. God seated Christ at his right hand in heaven,

21 far above any other ruler, authority, power, or lord, or any leader with all their titles—not only in this world, but also in the coming world too. (aiōn g165)

22 God has made everything subject to the authority of Christ, and has given him the responsibility as head over everything for the church,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁϥⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ
23 which is his body, filled full and made complete by Christ, who fills and brings everything to completion.
