Coptic New Testament
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.
1⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲗⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲓⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲙⲧ ⲉϥⲥⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲙⲃⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉϣⲗⲏⲗⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ..
2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, 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..
3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

6Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.

7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
7ϣⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ..
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.
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,
9ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲓⲛ..
10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
10ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ..
11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.
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..
12Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully 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 these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
13ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲅ̅ ⲥⲉ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
