< 1 Corinthians 16 >
1 Concerning the gathering for the Saintes, as I haue ordeined in the Churches of Galatia, so doe ye also.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϭⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲧⲟϣⲥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
2 Euery first day of the weeke, let euery one of you put aside by himselfe, and lay vp as God hath prospered him, that then there be no gatherings when I come.
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲕⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϥⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϭⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ
3 And when I am come, whomsoeuer ye shall alowe by letters, them will I send to bring your liberalitie vnto Hierusalem.

4 And if it be meete that I goe also, they shall goe with me.
ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ
5 Nowe I will come vnto you, after I haue gone through Macedonia (for I will passe through Macedonia.)
ⲉ̅ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, or winter with you, that ye may bring me on my way, whither soeuer I goe.
ⲋ̅ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲧⲉⲡⲣⲱ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲑⲡⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
7 For I will not see you nowe in my passage, but I trust to abide a while with you, if the Lord permit.
ⲍ̅ⲛϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ
8 And I wil tary at Ephesus vntill Pentecost.
ⲏ̅ϯϭⲉⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ⲧⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ
9 For a great doore and effectuall is opened vnto me: and there are many aduersaries.

10 Nowe if Timotheus come, see that he be without feare with you: for he worketh the worke of the Lord, euen as I doe.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϫⲛ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϩⲉ
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conuey him foorth in peace, that he may come vnto me: for I looke for him with the brethren.

12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him, to come vnto you with the brethren: but his mind was not at all to come at this time: howbeit he will come when he shall haue conuenient time.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
13 Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: quite you like men, and be strong.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲙϭⲟⲙ
14 Let all your things be done in loue.

15 Nowe brethren, I beseeche you (ye knowe the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruites of Achaia, and that they haue giuen themselues to minister vnto the Saintes)

19 The Churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla with ye Church that is in their house, salute you greatly in the Lord.
