Coptic New Testament
1For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
1ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
2if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
2ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
3how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
3ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ.
4by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
4ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲕⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏ ⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
5which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been 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 are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
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 was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working 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 very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to 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 make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϣ ⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
10to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
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 accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲑⲟϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪.
12In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

13Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

14For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲕⲱⲗϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲕⲉⲗⲓ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.

16that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
16ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲧⲙⲉⲧⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅.
17that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
17ⲉⲑⲣⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲉⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛϯ.
18may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

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

20Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
