1 Corinthians 16
1 And concerning the collection that [is] for the holy ones, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also you—do;
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
2 on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲛⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲱⲡ ϣⲱⲡⲓ.
3 and whenever I may come, whomsoever you may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favor to Jerusalem;
ⲅ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
4 and if it be worthy for me also to go, with me they will go.
ⲇ̅⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲉⲑⲣⲓϣⲉ ϩⲱ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ.
5 And I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia—for I pass through Macedonia—
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲉⲛⲥ.
6 and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that you may send me forward wherever I go,
ⲋ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲁ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲟϩⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲣϯ⳿ⲫⲣⲱ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲧⲫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
7 for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the LORD may permit;
ⲍ̅⳿ⲛϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲫⲙⲱⲓⲧ ϯⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ.
8 and I will remain in Ephesus until the Pentecost,
ⲏ̅ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ϯⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ.
9 for a door has been opened to me—great and effectual—and withstanders [are] many.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ.
10 And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for he works the work of the LORD, even as I,
ⲓ̅⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲧ⳿ϭⲛⲉ ϩⲟϯ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱ.
11 no one, then, may despise him; and send him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲟϣϥ ⲙⲁϯ ⲫⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ϯⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
12 and concerning Apollos our brother, I begged him much that he may come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲓϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧⲉⲩⲕⲉⲣⲓⲁ.
13 Watch, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲣⲱⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ϭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉⲙⲛⲟⲙϯ.
14 let all your things be done in love.

15 And I beg you, brothers, you have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and they set themselves to the ministry to the holy ones—
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϯϯϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲟⲣⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲁⲭⲁⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲑⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ.
16 that you also be subject to such, and to everyone who is working with [us] and laboring;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧϧⲟⲥⲓ.
17 and I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because these filled up the lack of you;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲟⲣⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲭⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϭⲣⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲕⲣⲱϥ.
18 for they refreshed my spirit and yours; acknowledge, therefore, those who [are] such.

19 The assemblies of Asia greet you; Aquilas and Priscilla greet you much in the LORD, with the assembly in their house;

20 all the brothers greet you; greet one another in a holy kiss.

22 if anyone does not cherish the Lord Jesus Christ—let him be accursed! The LORD has come!
