Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.
Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to 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, by 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 perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] 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 say, that every 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 in the name of Paul?
I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own 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 hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲛⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
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 this world? (aiōn g165)
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ. ⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ.
For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲁⲩⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲛⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
But to them who 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 ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men 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 hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟϣϥ̅ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ.
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
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 from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
