< 1 Corinthians 16 >

1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
2 Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
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 when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem:
ⲅ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
4 and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me.
ⲇ̅⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲉⲑⲣⲓϣⲉ ϩⲱ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ.
5 But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I do pass through Macedonia;
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲉⲛⲥ.
6 but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever 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 by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
ⲍ̅⳿ⲛϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓⲭⲏ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲫⲙⲱⲓⲧ ϯⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost;
ⲏ̅ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ϯⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ.
9 for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ.
10 Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do:
ⲓ̅⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲧ⳿ϭⲛⲉ ϩⲟϯ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱ.
11 let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲟϣϥ ⲙⲁϯ ⲫⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ϯⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
12 But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all [his] will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.
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 ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲣⲱⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ϭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉⲙⲛⲟⲙϯ.
14 Let all that ye do be done in love.

15 Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),
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 ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboureth.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧϧⲟⲥⲓ.
17 And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied.
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 ye therefore them that are such.

19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

20 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

22 If any man loveth not the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha.
