Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

You know that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲓⲙⲏϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are different ministries, but the same Lord.

There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϣⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ.
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,
9 ⲑ̅ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲟⲛ.
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 ⲓ̅ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲙ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲙⲏⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ.
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁϥ.
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ.̅.
The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲧⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ.
For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ϯϭⲁⲗⲟϫ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ.
If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϣϫ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓϣⲱⲗⲉⲙ.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ.
But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 ⲕ̅ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲃⲁⲗ ϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯϫⲓϫ ϫⲉ ϯⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ϫⲉ ϯⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲉⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉ.
On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϣⲏϣ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛ ϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϫⲁⲓ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲥⲉⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫϯ ⲁϥⲑⲉⲧ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲁⲧ.
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲫⲱⲣϫ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϥⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ϧⲁ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϭⲓⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲭⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ- ⲥⲓⲁ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩ ⲃ̅ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩ ⲅ̅ ϩⲁⲛⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲁⲛϫⲟⲙ ⲓⲧⲁ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ.
And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣⲣⲉϥϯ ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣϫⲟⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
