1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal.

ⲁ̅ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲙⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲣⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲉϥϯϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲙⲃⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ

2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲧⲁⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲙⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲁⲩ

3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲛⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲧⲙⲙⲟ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲁⲣⲭⲟⲛⲧⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁϯ ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲙⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϯⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ

4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,

ⲇ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϣⲁⲥϩⲣⲟϣ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϣⲁⲥⲣⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲉⲥⲕⲱϩ ⲙⲉⲥⲣⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ

5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;

ⲉ̅ⲙⲉⲥⲁⲥⲭⲩⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⲙⲉⲥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲥⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ ⲙⲉⲥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ

6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

ⲋ̅ⲙⲉⲥⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ϣⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

ⲍ̅ϣⲁⲥϥⲓ ϩⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ϣⲁⲥϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ϣⲁⲥϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

ⲏ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲉⲥϩⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲗⲟ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ

10 but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.

ⲓ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become an adult, I have put away childish things.

ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲉⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲣⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲛⲛⲁ ⲡⲕⲟⲩⲓ

12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲁⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲣⲃ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲟ ϩⲓ ϩⲟ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲧ

13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ
