1 ⲁ̅ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲉϥϯϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲙⲃⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.

If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal.

2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ. ⲧⲁⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲁⲩ.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

3 ⲅ̅ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲁⲣⲭⲟⲛⲧⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ.

If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

4 ⲇ̅ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϣⲁⲥϩⲣⲟϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ϣⲁⲥⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲉⲥⲕⲱϩ. ⲙⲉⲥⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲙⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.

Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,

5 ⲉ̅ ⲙⲉⲥⲁⲥⲭⲩⲙⲟⲛⲓ. ⲙⲉⲥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲉ. ⲙⲉⲥⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲙⲉⲥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ.

does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;

6 ⲋ̅ ⲙⲉⲥⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ϣⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

7 ⲍ̅ ϣⲁⲥϥⲓ ϩⲁϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϣⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ϣⲁⲥϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ϣⲁⲥϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 ⲏ̅ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲉⲥϩⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲡⲉ. ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲗⲟ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

9 ⲑ̅ ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

10 ⲓ̅ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅.

but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.

11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲣ̅ⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become an adult, I have put away childish things.

12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲁⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣ̅ⲃ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟ ϩⲓϩⲟ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲧ.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅. ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.

But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
