1ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ.
1Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children;
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲫⲟⲣⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ.
2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.
3ϯⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ϭⲱϧⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲣⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ.
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:
4ⲛⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲥⲟϫ ⲓⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩ⳿ⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
4Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.
5ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧϣⲁⲙϣⲉ ⳿ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫϯ.
5For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
6Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief.
7⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
7Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
8ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲙⲟϣⲓ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲁⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ.
8For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light.
9⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲉⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
9For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth;
10ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
10Proving what is well pleasing to God:

11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲡ ⲟⲩϣⲓⲡⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲕⲉϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ.
12For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
13ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ.
13But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.
14ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲛⲕ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ.
14Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.

15See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,
16ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉϩⲱⲟⲩ.
16But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God.

18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit,

19Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord;
20ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.
20Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:
21ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲛⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϯϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.
22ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
22Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
23ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
23Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
24ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϭⲛⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲥ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϭ ⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
24Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
25ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲣⲓⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ.
25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:
26ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ.
26That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:
27ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲁϩⲉ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ⲉⲥϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁϭⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ ⲓⲉ ⲑⲱⲗⲉⲃ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲑⲱⲗⲉⲃ.
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.
28ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲟⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ.
28So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
29⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϣⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁϥⲉⲣⲑⲁⲗⲡⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
29For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:
30ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
30Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲭⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲙϥ ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲃ̅ ⲉⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
32ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
32This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
33⳿ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲏϯ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ
33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband.
