1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ;
ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
2 with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able,
ⲃ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲥⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ.
3 for yet you are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly, and walk in the manner of men?
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲱϩ ϩⲓϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
4 For when one may say, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and another, “I—of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?
ⲇ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ. ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ.
5 Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, and to each as the LORD gave?
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ. ⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϯ ⲛⲁϥ·
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;
ⲋ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲥⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ.
7 so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;
ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲧⲧⲥⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ.
8 and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor,
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲥⲟ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲉ. ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥϩⲓⲥⲉ·
9 for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛϩⲉⲛϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
10 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid a foundation, and another builds on [it],
ⲓ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲉⲕⲧⲱⲛ· ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲱ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲱⲧ ⲉϫⲱⲥ. ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲕⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ.
11 for no one is able to lay another foundation except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲁⲕⲉⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
12 and if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲕⲱⲧ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲃ. ⲟⲩϩⲁⲧ. ϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ϩⲉⲛϣⲉ. ⲟⲩⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲟⲟⲩⲉ.
13 the work will become visible of each, for the day will declare [it], because it is revealed in fire, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire will prove;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
14 if the work of anyone remains that he built on [it], he will receive a wage;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ̅ ϥⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲕⲉ.
15 if the work of any is burned up, he will suffer loss, but himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ϥⲛⲁϯⲟⲥⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ̅·
16 Have you not known that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
17 If anyone ruins the temple of God, God will ruin him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ.
18 Let no one deceive himself; if anyone seems to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise, (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲝⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲥⲟϭ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ. (aiōn g165)
19 for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it has been written: “Who is taking the wise in their craftiness”;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϭⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲕⲟⲧⲥ̅.
20 and again, “The LORD knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.”
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ
21 So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲕⲏⲫⲁ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ.
23 and you [are] Christ’s, and Christ [is] God’s.
