Coptic New Testament
1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲓⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ..
2For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
2⳿ⲙⲡⲓϯϩⲁⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲁϣϥ..
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
3⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲉⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ..
4And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲛⲁϥϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ..
5That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
5ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ..
6Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought;
6ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ..
7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:
7ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲑⲏⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲑⲏ - ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲑⲁϣⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ϧⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ..
8Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
8ⲑⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲩⲛⲁⲉϣ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ..
9But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
9ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲁϣϫ ⲥⲟⲑⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧϥ..
10But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
10⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϭⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥϧⲟⲧϧⲉⲧ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲏⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ..
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
11ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ..
12Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
12⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲛϭⲓⲧϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ..
13Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
13ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯ ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲥⲩⲛ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ..
14But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
14ⲡⲓⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϥϣⲉⲡ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲟϫ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϧⲟⲧϧⲉⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ..
15But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
15ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲓⲕⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ϣⲁϥϧⲉⲧϧⲉⲧ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ϣϧⲉⲧϧⲱⲧϥ..
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
