Coptic: New Testament

1 Corinthians

13

1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲗⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲓⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲙⲧ ⲉϥⲥⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲙⲃⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉϣⲗⲏⲗⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ..
2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
2ⲕⲁⲛ 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..
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
3ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲕⲉⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϯ ⲛⲁ ϫⲉⲙϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ..
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
4ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲭⲟϩ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ..
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
6⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ϣⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ..
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
7ϣⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ..
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
8ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϩⲉⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲗⲟϫⲟⲩ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ..
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
11ⲉⲓⲟⲓ ⳿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..
12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
12ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ 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..
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
