1If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
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..
2And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲕⲉⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϯ ⲛⲁ ϫⲉⲙϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ..
3And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up;

5Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;
6⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ϣⲁⲥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ..
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth;
7ϣⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲁⲥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ..
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed.
9ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲓⲛ..
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.
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..
11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child.
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..
12We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know I part; but then I shall know even as I am known.
13ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲅ̅ ⲥⲉ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
13And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.
