Coptic New Testament
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
1ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲟϯ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ.
2“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),
2ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲓϯ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲱϣ.
3“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”
3ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ.
4Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
4ⲛⲓⲓⲟϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯϫⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲕⲁϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪.
5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
5ⲛⲓⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲉⲣⲧⲉⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲡ⳪.
6And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

7Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,
7ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ.
8because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

9And masters, do the same for your slaves. Give up your use of threats, because you know that He who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ ⲁⲣⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲱ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳪ ϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉϩⲟ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ.
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.
11ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲓ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϧⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
12ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϯ ϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.
13ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϭⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϧⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed,

15and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace.

16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.

19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,
