Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 ⲃ̅ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲟⲥ. ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ.
unto the church of God which is at Corinth, [even] them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;
even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye be] unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them [which are of the household] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲕⲏⲫⲁ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲡⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ.
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;
lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲛⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ.
For the word of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the prudence of the prudent will I reject.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ. ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ. ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲥⲩⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ. ⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭ. (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ. ⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ.
For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.
Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲁⲩⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲛⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϭⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲇⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲩⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ.
For behold your calling, brethren, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϭⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ.
but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟϣϥ̅ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ.
and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:
that no flesh should glory before God.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲉ.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
