< 1 Corinthians 13 >

1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of messengers, and do not have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;
ⲁ̅ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲉϥϯϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲙⲃⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
2 and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and do not have love, I am nothing;
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ. ⲧⲁⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
3 and if I give away all my goods to feed others, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and do not have love, I am profited nothing.
ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲁⲣⲭⲟⲛⲧⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
4 Love is long-suffering, it is kind, love does not envy, love does not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,
ⲇ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϣⲁⲥϩⲣⲟϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ϣⲁⲥⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲉⲥⲕⲱϩ. ⲙⲉⲥⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲙⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
5 does not act unseemly, does not seek its own things, is not provoked, does not impute evil,
ⲉ̅ⲙⲉⲥⲁⲥⲭⲩⲙⲟⲛⲓ. ⲙⲉⲥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲉ. ⲙⲉⲥⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲙⲉⲥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ.
6 [does] not rejoice over unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth;
ⲋ̅ⲙⲉⲥⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ϣⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
7 it bears all things, it believes all, it hopes all, it endures all.
ⲍ̅ϣⲁⲥϥⲓ ϩⲁϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϣⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ϣⲁⲥϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ϣⲁⲥϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
8 Love never fails; and whether [there be] prophecies, they will become useless; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will become useless;
ⲏ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲉⲥϩⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲡⲉ. ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲗⲟ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅.
9 for we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
10 and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part will become useless.
ⲓ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅.
11 When I was a child, I was speaking as a child, I was thinking as a child, I was reasoning as a child, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the child;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲣ̅ⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈.
12 for we now see obscurely through a mirror, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I will fully know, as I was also known;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲁⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣ̅ⲃ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟ ϩⲓϩⲟ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲧ.
13 and now there remains faith, hope, love—these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅. ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
