1 Corinthians 12
1 And concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant;
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ
2 you have known that you were nations, being carried away as you were led to the mute idols;
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲃⲏⲕ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ·
3 for this reason, I give you to understand that no one, speaking in the Spirit of God, says Jesus [is] accursed, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] LORD, except in the Holy Spirit.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
4 And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ.
5 and there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord;
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲓϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ.
6 and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God—who is working all in all.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲏⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲓⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
7 And to each has been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;
ⲍ̅ⲥⲉϯ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ.
8 for to one through the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϣⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ. ⲕⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
9 and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;
ⲑ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
10 and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another [various] kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:
ⲓ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲏⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲣⲙⲏⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ.
11 and the one and the same Spirit works all these, dividing to each individually as He intends.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲡⲱϣ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲥ̅.
12 For even as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲉ. ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13 for also in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all were made to drink one Spirit,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲓⲛ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
14 for also the body is not one member, but many.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲉ.
15 If the foot may say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it not, because of this, not of the body?
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲉ.
16 And if the ear may say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it not, because of this, not of the body?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ.
17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? If the whole hearing, where the smelling?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲁ.
18 And now, God set the members, each one of them in the body, according as He willed,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲥ̅.
19 and if all were one member, where [is] the body?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
20 And now, indeed, [are] many members, but one body;
ⲕ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
21 and an eye is not able to say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧϭⲓϫ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ.
22 But much more the members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛϭⲱⲃ ⲛⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉ.
23 and those that we think to be less honorable of the body, around these we put more abundant honor, and our unseemly things have more abundant seemliness,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲏϣ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲉⲧⲓⲙⲏ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲉⲉⲩⲥⲭⲩⲙⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
24 and our seemly things have no need; but God tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to the lacking part,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲩⲛⲕⲉⲣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲁϥϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁⲁⲧ.
25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
26 and whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with [it], or one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with [it];
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ·
27 and you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲕⲙⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ·
28 And some, indeed, God set in the Assembly: first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterward powers, afterward gifts of healings, helpings, governings, various kinds of tongues.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ. ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ. ⲟⲩϯⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ϩⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ϩⲉⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ.
29 [Are] all apostles? [Are] all prophets? [Are] all teachers? [Are] all powers?
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
30 [Do] all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

31 And earnestly desire the better gifts; and yet I show to you a far [more] excelling way:
