1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —and Sosthenes the brother, —
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲥⲱⲥⲑⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ
2 Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, —with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, —their Lord and ours:
ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲃⲃⲏⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲙ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ
3 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
4 I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, —
ⲇ̅ϯϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲙ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
5 That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse and in all knowledge;
ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲛ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ
6 Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you,
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
7 So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
8 Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus [Christ]:
ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϣⲁ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
9 Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
10 But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, —that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together—in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲙⲡⲱⲣϫ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲛϯⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
11 For it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren, —by them who are of [the household of] Chloe, —that there are strifes among you,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲁⲭⲗⲟⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
12 Now I mean this, —that, each one of you, is saying—I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
13 The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ
14 I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save Crispus and Gaius,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϯϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲕⲣⲓⲥⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲅⲁⲓⲟⲥ
15 Lest any should say—into my own name, I immersed:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ
16 Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲏⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲛϭⲉ
17 For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news, —not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
18 For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved—unto us, it is, God’s power.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ
19 For it is written—I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲥⲩⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲟϭ (aiōn g165)
21 For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased—through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲡⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ
22 Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ
23 Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness;
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
24 But, unto the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ
25 Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛⲧϭⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
26 For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, —that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲇⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲩⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ
27 On the contrary—the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲥⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϭⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲛϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ
28 And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, —[and] the things that are not, —that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟϣϥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ
29 So that no flesh should boast before God.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
30 But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
ⲗ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉ
31 In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
