1 Corinthians 16
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the churches of Galatia, you do likewise.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϭⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲧⲟϣⲥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
2 On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲕⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϥⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϭⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
ⲅ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲓⲉϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ
5 But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
ⲉ̅ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ
6 But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
ⲋ̅ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲧⲉⲡⲣⲱ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲑⲡⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
ⲍ̅ⲛϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
ⲏ̅ϯϭⲉⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ⲧⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϫⲛ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϩⲉ
11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲥⲟϣϥ ⲙⲁⲑⲡⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ ϯϭⲱϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ
12 Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲙⲡⲧⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
13 Watch. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲙϭⲟⲙ
14 Let all that you do be done in love.

15 Now I appeal to you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints),
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛϣⲃⲣⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϩⲟⲥⲉ
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲫⲟⲣⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲁⲭⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲉⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the church that is in their house.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲁⲕⲩⲗⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲣⲓⲥⲕⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲏⲉⲓ
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.
