< 1 Corinthians 2 >

1 And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ. ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
ⲃ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲁⲩⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁ(ⲓ)ⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϭⲱⲃ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ.
4 And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲓϭⲟⲙ.
5 that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
ⲉ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, which are coming to nought: (aiōn g165)
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅. (aiōn g165)
7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: (aiōn g165)
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲣϫⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ. (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this world knoweth: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: (aiōn g165)
ⲏ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ̅. ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ. (aiōn g165)
9 but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
10 But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϭⲟⲗⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲧϩⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲡ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ (ⲛ̅)ⲛⲁⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ.
13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ.
14 Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲉϥϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲱⲥ.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϥⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲉⲉⲓⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
