< Ephesians 6 >

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ.
2 Honour thy father and mother (which is the first commandement with promise)
ⲃ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
3 That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst liue long on earth.

4 And ye, fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lord.

5 Seruants, be obedient vnto them that are your masters, according to the flesh, with feare and trembling in singlenesse of your hearts as vnto Christ,
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
6 Not with seruice to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the seruants 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, seruing the Lord, and not men.

8 And knowe ye that whatsoeuer good thing any man doeth, that same shall he receiue of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9 And ye masters, doe the same things vnto them, putting away threatning: and know that euen your master also is in heauen, neither is there respect of person with him.
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲣⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱⲛⲧ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲓϩⲟ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ·
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
ⲓ̅ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaultes of the deuil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly gouernours, the princes of the darkenesse of this worlde, against spirituall wickednesses, which are in ye hie places. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲙⲓϣⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ· (aiōn g165)
13 For this cause take vnto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the euill day, and hauing finished all things, stand fast.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲁⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲉⲕϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ.
14 Stand therefore, and your loynes girded about with veritie, and hauing on the brest plate of righteousnesse,

15 And your feete shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.

16 Aboue all, take the shielde of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fierie dartes of the wicked,

17 And take the helmet of saluation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the worde of God.

18 And pray alwayes with all maner prayer and supplication in the Spirit: and watch thereunto with all perseuerance and supplication for al Saints,
