1 Nxa ngingakhuluma ngendimi zabantu lezezingilosi, kodwa ngingelathando, ngizakuba lithusi elikhalayo kumbe insimbi encencethayo.

2 Njalo loba ngingaba lesiprofetho, ngisazi imfihlo zonke lokwazi konke, njalo uba ngilokholo lonke, ukuze ngisuse izintaba, kodwa ngingelathando, angisilutho.

3 Njalo loba ngingabela abayanga konke engilakho, njalo uba nginganikela umzimba wami ukuthi ngitshiswe, kodwa ngingelathando, kakungisizi ngalutho.

4 Uthando luyabekezela, lulobubele; uthando kalulamona; uthando kaluzincomi, kalukhukhunyezwa,
ⲇ̅ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲭⲟϩ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
5 kaluziphathi ngokungafanelanga, kaluzidingeli okwalo, kalucunuki, kalunakani okubi,

6 kaluthokozi ngokungalunganga, kodwa luthokoza eqinisweni;
ⲋ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ϣⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
7 lusibekela izinto zonke, lukholwa izinto zonke, luthemba izinto zonke, lubekezelela izinto zonke.
ⲍ̅ϣⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
8 Uthando kalungeke lwehluleke. Kumbe-ke iziprofetho, zizakwenziwa ziphele; kumbe indimi, zizakhawula; kumbe ulwazi, luzakwenziwa luphele.
ⲏ̅ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϩⲉⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲗⲟϫⲟⲩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ.
9 Ngoba sazi nganxanye, siprofetha nganxanye;

10 kodwa lapho sekufikile okupheleleyo, khona okuyingxenye kuzakwenziwa ize.

11 Lapho ngilusane, ngakhuluma njengosane, ngaqedisisa njengosane, nganakana njengosane; kodwa kuthe sengiyindoda, ngazenza ize izinto zosane.
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 Ngoba khathesi sibona esibukweni kaluvivi, kodwa ngalesosikhathi ubuso ngobuso; khathesi ngazi nganxanye, kodwa ngalesosikhathi ngizakwazi njengoba-ke ngangisaziwa.

13 Njalo khathesi-ke kumi ukholo, ithemba, uthando, lokhu kokuthathu; kodwa okukhulu kulokhu luthando.
