BE ye imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the injunctions as I delivered them unto you.
3 ⲅ̅ ϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ.
But I desire you to take notice that the head of every man is Christ; but the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
Every man praying or prophesying, holding a veil over his head, dishonoureth his head;
5 ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲥⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲓⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏ ⲧⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲥ ϩⲱⲃⲥ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲥϯϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ϫⲱⲥ ϧⲟⲕϩⲥ.
but every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled, dishonoureth her head; for it is one and the same thing, as if she were shaven.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲁϩⲉⲃⲥ ϫⲱⲥ ⲓⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϧⲟⲕϩϥ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲱϣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲃⲥ ϫⲱⲥ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲕϩϥ ⲓⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϩⲉⲃⲥ ϫⲱⲥ.
For if the woman be not veiled, let her hair be clipped: but if it would be scandalous for a woman to appear clipped or shaved, let her be veiled.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲉⲃⲥ ϫⲱϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ.
For a man indeed ought not to veil his head, being the image and the glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
Also the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
Therefore ought the woman to retain upon her head this badge of authority, because of the angels of the churches.
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the Lord.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲛⲉ.
For as the woman was taken out of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are of God.
Judge among yourselves, is it decent for a woman to be praying to God without a covering?
Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man wear long flowing hair it is a dishonour to him?
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ϫⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϥⲱⲓ ⲛⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧϣⲉⲃⲓⲱ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣϣⲱⲛ.
But if a woman let her hair flow, it is an ornament to her; for the hair was given her for a covering,
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲣⲉϥ⳿ϣ⳿ϭ ⲛⲏⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁϩⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
But if any man mean to be contentious about it, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏⲉⲧⲑⲉⲃⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ.
But in the matter I am going to denounce, I do not commend you, that ye meet together not for the better, but for the worse.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ϯⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲫⲱⲣϫ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
For in the first place, when ye assemble in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
For there must be heresies among you, that they who are the tried ones, may be made manifest among you.
When therefore ye assemble in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ϥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲟⲕⲉⲣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲑⲁϧⲓ ⲇⲉ.
For one in the eating it taketh before another his own supper: and one is hungry, and another drinks to excess.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱ ϣⲁⲛ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϯϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
What! have ye not houses to eat in and to drink? or despise ye the church of God, and make those ashamed who have none? What shall I say unto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓϭⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲉⲛⲁⲩⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ.
For I received of the Lord what also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf:
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲁϥⲫⲁϣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϫⲓⲛⲉⲣⲡⲁⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ.
and when he had blessed it, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲉ⳿ⲁⲫⲟⲧ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ⳿ⲁⲫⲟⲧ ϯ ⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲧⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲥⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ.
In like manner also he took the cup, after they had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲥⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲓⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲁⲫⲟⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew forth the death of the Lord till he come.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲓⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲱ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ⳿ⲁⲫⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪.
Wherefore, whosoever eateth of this bread, or drinketh the cup of the Lord unworthily, he is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲱⲓⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲱ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲁⲫⲟⲧ.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲥⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲥⲱ ⲉⲩϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲇⲓ⳿ⲁ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡ⳪.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not distinguishing the Lord’s body.
For this cause many are diseased and infirm among you, and some asleep in death.
For if we thoroughly judged ourselves, we should not be judged of the Lord.
But being judged, we are corrected by the Lord, that we might not be condemned with the world.
Wherefore, when ye meet together to eat the Lord’s supper, wait for one another.
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲟⲕⲉⲣ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲩϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲑⲁϣⲟⲩ.
And if any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that ye meet not together for condemnation. And the other matters I will regulate when I come.
