1 Corinthians 13
1 Although with the tongues of men, I be speaking, and of messengers, and have not, love, I have become resounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;
ⲁ̅⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲗⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲓⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲙⲧ ⲉϥⲥⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲙⲃⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉϣⲗⲏⲗⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
2 And, though I have [the gift of] prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge, —and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing;
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲓⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ.
3 And, though I morsel out all my goods, —and though I deliver up my body, that I may boast, and have not, love, I am profited, nothing.
ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲕⲉⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϯ ⲛⲁ ϫⲉⲙϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ.
4 Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
ⲇ̅ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲭⲟϩ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
5 Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base,
ⲉ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϭⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϫⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ.
6 Rejoiceth not over unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in sympathy with truth, —
ⲋ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ϣⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
7 All things, covereth, all things, believeth, all things, hopeth, all things, endureth.
ⲍ̅ϣⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
8 Love, at no time, faileth; —but, whether prophesyings, they shall be done away, whether tongues, they shall cease, whether gaining knowledge, it shall be done away;
ⲏ̅ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϩⲉⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲗⲟϫⲟⲩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ.
9 For, in part, are we gaining knowledge, and, in part, are we prophesying, —
ⲑ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲓⲛ.
10 But, as soon as that which is complete is come, that which is in part, shall be done away.
ⲓ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ.
11 When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, to prefer as child, to reason as a child: now I have become a man, I have laid aside the things of the child!
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲓⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ ϯⲙⲉⲧ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ.
12 For we see, as yet, through a dim window, obscurely, but, then, face to face: as yet, I gain knowledge, in part, but, then, shall I fully know, even as I was also fully known.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲓⲁⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲟⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ϩⲟ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲧ.
13 But, now abide—faith, hope, love, —these three; but, the greatest of these, is, love.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲅ̅ ⲥⲉ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
