Coptic New Testament
1You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁ⳿ⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
2in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.
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.
3We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
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.
4But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
4ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ.
5even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁ⳿ⲡⲧⲱⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲛϧⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
6and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
7that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
7ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲭ͞ⲣⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
8ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲫⲁ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ.
9not of works, that no one would boast.

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
10⳿ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲥⲟⲛⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
11Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
11ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲛⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲓϫ.
12that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
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.
13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
13ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϧⲱⲛⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
14For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
14⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣ ⲡⲓⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱⲙ ⲁϥⲃⲟⲗⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲃⲉⲗ ϯⲙⲉⲧϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ.
15having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
15⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲇⲟⲅⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲣϥϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ.
16and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲃ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ ̇⳿ⲉⲁϥϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
17He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
17ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲁϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛⲧ.
18For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

19So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

20being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

21in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
