1ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
1For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
2ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
2Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ.
3that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲕⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏ ⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭ ⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅.
5which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
6ⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
7ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲇⲱⲣⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ.
7I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
8⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲥⲃⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲥ.
8Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϣ ⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
9and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
10ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ.
10His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
11ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲑⲟϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
11according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲛⲁϩϯ.
12In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.

13So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
14ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲕⲱⲗϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲕⲉⲗⲓ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.
14... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

15from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

16I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
17ⲉⲑⲣⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛϯ.
17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,

19of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,
21ⲫⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲅⲉⲛⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ
21to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
