1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,

5That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

9God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

11For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;

15Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.

16And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
18ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲟϫ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ.
18For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.
19⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲃⲉⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ϯⲛⲁϣⲟϣϥ.
19For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.

20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁϥϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲥⲟϫ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ..
21For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.
22ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲥⲉⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ..
22For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲁϣϥ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲟϫ ⲡⲉ..
23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
24ⲛⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ..
24But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲥⲟϫ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲥⲑⲏⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲣⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ..
25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲉⲩⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ..
26For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:
27ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲓⲥⲟϫ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲁⲃⲉⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧϫⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϫⲱⲣⲓ..
27But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.
28ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧⲁⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟϣϥ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ..
28And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:
29ϩⲟⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ..
29That no flesh should glory in his sight.

30But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:
31ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪.
31That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
