< 1 Corinthians 2 >
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲏ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
2 For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
ⲃ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧϭⲱⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ
4 And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ϩⲓ ϭⲟⲙ
5 That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
ⲉ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought; (aiōn )
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ϩⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ (aiōn )
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: (aiōn )
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲣϫⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ (aiōn )
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn )
ⲏ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ (aiōn )
9 But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that 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 to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϭⲟⲗⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲧϩⲧ ⲛⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲡ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but 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 Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ
13 Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲃ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ
14 But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲉϥϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲱⲥ
15 But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϥⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
