1ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
2If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ.
3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲕⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏ ⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in 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 in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6ⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
6That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲇⲱⲣⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ.
7Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲥⲃⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲥ.
8Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among 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 make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ.
10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲑⲟϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
11According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲛⲁϩϯ.
12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

13Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲕⲱⲗϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲕⲉⲗⲓ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.
14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
