1 Corinthians 11
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
ⲁ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
2 Now I praise you, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
ⲃ̅ϯⲉⲡⲁⲓⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ·
3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
ⲅ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈. ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
ⲇ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϥϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲏ̅ ⲉϥⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ ϩⲟⲃⲥ̅ ϥϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
ⲉ̅ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲥϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲏ̅ ⲉⲥⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲥⲁⲡⲉ ϭⲟⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲁⲡⲉ. ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲉⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉϫⲱⲥ ϩⲟⲟⲕⲉ.
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
ⲋ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲥⲛⲁϩⲃ̅ⲥϫⲱⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϣⲃ̅ϫⲱⲥ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩϣⲗⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ϣⲃ̅ϫⲱⲥ ⲏ̅ ϩⲉⲕⲉϫⲱⲥ. ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϩⲃⲥ̅ϫⲱⲥ·
7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
ⲍ̅ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϩⲱⲃⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ. ⲉⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
9 for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
ⲑ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲕⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲁⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁϫⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛ̅ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ.
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲉϫⲱⲥ ϭⲟⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
14 Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲕⲉⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲉϩϥⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲱϣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲡⲉ
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲉϩϥⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲡⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲡϥⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣ̅ϣⲱⲛ.
16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's churches.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲓ̈ϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥⲩⲛⲓⲑⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
17 But in giving you this command, I do not praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩϩⲃ̅ⲃⲉ.
18 For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ϯⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲓⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ϭⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ̅.
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunk.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ· ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲕⲁⲉⲓⲧ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁϩⲉ.
22 What, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's church, and put them to shame who do not have? What should I tell you? Should I praise you? In this I do not praise you.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ⲏⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲱ ϫⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩ. ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ. ⲧⲁⲉⲡⲁⲓⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϯⲉⲡⲁⲓⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅. ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ
24 When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory of me."
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁϥⲡⲟϣϥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲁⲣ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ.
25 In the same way he also took the cup, after the meal, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲣⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲱ ⲉⲡⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ.
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧϥ̅ⲉⲓ.
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a manner unworthy will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛϥ̅ⲥⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ. ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
28 But let a person examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲥⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ.
29 For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲥⲱ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲥⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲣⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

31 For if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲙⲟⲩϣⲧ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
32 But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for another.

34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
