Coptic New Testament
1For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles;
1ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
2If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you:
2ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
3How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words;
3ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ.
4As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,
4ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲕⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏ ⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
5Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit:
5ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭ ⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅.
6That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and co-partners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel:
6ⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
7Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power:
7ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲇⲱⲣⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ.
8To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ,
8⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲥⲃⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲥ.
9And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things:
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϣ ⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
10That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,
10ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ.
11According to the eternal purpose, which he made, in Christ Jesus our Lord:
11ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲑⲟϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
12ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲛⲁϩϯ.
13Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
13ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.
14For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲕⲱⲗϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲕⲉⲗⲓ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.
15Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named,

16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man,
16ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲧⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅.
17That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity,
17ⲉⲑⲣⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛϯ.
18You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth:
18ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲏϣⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϣⲓⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓϭⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓϣⲱⲕ.
19To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.
19⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
20Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us;
20ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲁϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ.
21To him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus unto all generations, world without end. Amen.
