1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁ⳿ⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
1And you, when you were dead in your offences, and sins,
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.
2Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief:
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.
3In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:
4ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ.
4But God, (who is rich in mercy,) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us,
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁ⳿ⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲛϧⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved,)
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
6And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.
7ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲭ͞ⲣⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
7That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.
8ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲫⲁ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ.
8For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God;

9Not of works, that no man may glory.

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

11For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands;
12ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⳿ⲉϯⲡⲟⲗⲓⲧⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏ ⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲑⲛⲟⲩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
12That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this world.
13ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϧⲱⲛⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣ ⲡⲓⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱⲙ ⲁϥⲃⲟⲗⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲃⲉⲗ ϯⲙⲉⲧϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ.
14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:
15⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲇⲟⲅⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲣϥϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ.
15Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace;
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲃ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ ̇⳿ⲉⲁϥϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
16And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.
17ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲁϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛⲧ.
17And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh.

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

19Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God,
20⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲕⲉⲧ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϯⲥⲉⲛϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲱϫ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲕϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
20Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:

21In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.

22In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.
