1ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ..
1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧ⳿ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ..
2You know that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲓⲙⲏϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ..
3Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
4ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱϣ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ..
4There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱϣ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⳪ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ..
5There are different ministries, but the same Lord.
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ..
6There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.
7ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲥⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ..
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϣⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ..
8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,
9ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲟⲛ..
9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲙ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲙⲏⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ..
10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁϥ..
11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.
12ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ.̅.
12The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.
13ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲧⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ..
13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
14ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ..
14For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
15ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ϯϭⲁⲗⲟϫ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ..
15If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϣϫ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ..
16And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
17ⲉⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓϣⲱⲗⲉⲙ..
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ..
18But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.
19ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ..
19If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ..
20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲃⲁⲗ ϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯϫⲓϫ ϫⲉ ϯⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ϫⲉ ϯⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ..
21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”
22ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲉⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉ..
22On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϣⲏϣ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛ ϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϫⲁⲓ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ..
23and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
24ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲥⲉⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫϯ ⲁϥⲑⲉⲧ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲁⲧ..
24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲫⲱⲣϫ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϥⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ϧⲁ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ..
25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.
26ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϭⲓⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ..
26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ..
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.
28ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲭⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ- ⲥⲓⲁ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩ ⲃ̅ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩ ⲅ̅ ϩⲁⲛⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲁⲛϫⲟⲙ ⲓⲧⲁ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲥ..
28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ⲙⲏ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲗⲁⲥ ⲙⲏ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣⲙⲉⲛⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ..
30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

31But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
