Coptic New Testament
1And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁ⳿ⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
2in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.
2ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
3All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
3ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲓ ⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲡⲓ.
4But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
4ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ.
5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

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

10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

11Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)—
11ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲛⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲓϫ.
12remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

14For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility

15by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace

16and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.

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

18For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

19Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
