Ephesians 2

1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ

2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)

ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲁⲏⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ (aiōn g165)

3 We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

ⲅ̅ⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲫⲩⲥⲉⲓ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ

4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

ⲇ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ

5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ

6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲑⲙⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ

7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)

ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ (aiōn g165)

8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲛϩⲉⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲡⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

ⲑ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

ⲓ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲉⲁϥⲥⲟⲛⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ ⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ

11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃⲃⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲛϭⲓϫ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ

12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϫⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲗⲗⲟⲧⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲧⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲉⲛⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲙⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ

14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲣⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲁϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲗϫⲗ ⲧⲙⲛⲧϫⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ

15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲛ ⲛⲇⲟⲅⲙⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ

16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥϩⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ

17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ

18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ

19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲓⲣⲙ ⲛϭⲟⲓⲗⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲛⲣⲙⲛϯⲙⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲙⲛⲏⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
