Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲡⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲧⲱϩⲙ
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.

7 But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩϯϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡϣⲓ ⲛⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”

9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲏⲗ ⲣⲱ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲕⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϣⲁⲛⲧⲛⲉⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲡϣⲓ ⲛⲧϭⲟⲧ ⲙⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϩⲟⲉⲓⲙ ϥⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲉⲉⲓ ⲙⲛⲧⲏⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲕⲩⲃⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲕⲟⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲛϫⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲧⲛⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϣⲱⲛⲃ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲁⲓⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲣⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲡϯ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲓ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉ ⲧⲁⲩⲝⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲕⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲓϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲉⲓⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϭⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ
18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲁⲗⲗⲟⲧⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲩⲧⲱⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧ
19 They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲙⲟⲕϩⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϫⲱϩⲙ ⲉⲡⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓⲧⲟ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ
20 But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
ⲕ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲃⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ
21 if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:

22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲣⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ
24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

26 “Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,

27 and don’t give place to the devil.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲣϯⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ
28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
