1 Corinthians 12
1 NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been led.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧ⳿ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
3 Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ 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.
4 But there are diversities of gifts, though the same Spirit.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱϣ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ.
5 And there are diversities of services, but the same Lord.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱϣ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⳪ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ.
6 And there are diversities of mighty operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
7 Now to every one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for usefulness.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲥⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ.
8 For to one man by the Spirit is given wise discourse; but to another speech communicative of knowledge by the same Spirit;
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϣⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ.
9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing diseases by the same Spirit;
ⲑ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲟⲛ.
10 to another miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another discernments of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
ⲓ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲙ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲙⲏⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ.
11 but all these things worketh that one and the same Spirit, distributing peculiar gifts to every one even as he wills.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁϥ.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, but all the members of that one body, though many, are one body: so also is Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ.̅.
13 For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲧⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ.
15 If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, on this account, not of the body?
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ϯϭⲁⲗⲟϫ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ.
16 And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it not therefore of the body?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϣϫ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
17 If the whole body were eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓϣⲱⲗⲉⲙ.
18 But now hath God placed the members, every one of them in the body, as he hath chosen.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ.
19 But if the whole were one member, where were the body?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
20 But now the members indeed are many, but the body one.
ⲕ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
21 Nor can the eye say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲃⲁⲗ ϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯϫⲓϫ ϫⲉ ϯⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ϫⲉ ϯⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ.
22 Yea, much more the members of the body, which appear to be more feeble, are necessary:
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲉⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉ.
23 and those parts which we esteem as the more dishonourable of the body, on them we bestow more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ 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.
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered together the body, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲥⲉⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫϯ ⲁϥⲑⲉⲧ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲁⲧ.
25 that there might be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲫⲱⲣϫ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϥⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ϧⲁ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
26 And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be exalted, all the members rejoice with it.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϭⲓⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28 And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues.
