< 1 Corinthians 16 >
1 Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies 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 of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering, —lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress.
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, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour 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 that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey.
ⲇ̅⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲉⲑⲣⲓϣⲉ ϩⲱ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ.
5 Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia, —for I do pass through Macedonia,
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲉⲛⲥ.
6 And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.
ⲋ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲁ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲟϩⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲣϯ⳿ⲫⲣⲱ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲧⲫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
7 For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, 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 remain in Ephesus, until the Pentecost,
ⲏ̅ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ϯⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ.
9 For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ.
10 But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I:
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 one then despise him; and set ye him forward 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, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now; —he will come, however, as soon as he hath good 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 Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men—be strong;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲣⲱⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ϭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉⲙⲛⲟⲙϯ.
14 Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.

15 Now I beseech you, brethren, —ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a first-fruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, 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 submitting yourselves unto such as these, —and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧϧⲟⲥⲓ.
17 I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up: —
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲟⲣⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲭⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϭⲣⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲕⲣⲱϥ.
18 They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these.

19 The assemblies of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly meeting at their house, salute you much in the Lord:

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

22 If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema [that is, "accursed"]: Maran atha [that is, "The Lord, cometh"].
