1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲏ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
ⲃ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧϭⲱⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ
4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ϩⲓ ϭⲟⲙ
5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
ⲉ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ϩⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ (aiōn g165)
7 No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began. (aiōn g165)
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲣϫⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ (aiōn g165)
8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
ⲏ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ (aiōn g165)
9 Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
10 But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϭⲟⲗⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲧϩⲧ ⲛⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲡ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲁ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
12 We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ
13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲃ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ
14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲉϥϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲱⲥ
15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϥⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲉⲉⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
