1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ
2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲃⲏⲕ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ·
3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ.
5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲓϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ.
6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲏⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲓⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
ⲍ̅ⲥⲉϯ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϣⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ. ⲕⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
ⲑ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
10 and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.
ⲓ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲏⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲣⲙⲏⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ.
11 But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲡⲱϣ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲥ̅.
12 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲉ. ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲓⲛ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲉ.
15 If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲉ.
16 If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲁ.
18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲥ̅.
19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
20 But now they are many members, but one body.
ⲕ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
21 The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧϭⲓϫ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟ ⲁⲛ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ.
22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛϭⲱⲃ ⲛⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉ.
23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲏϣ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲉⲧⲓⲙⲏ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲉⲉⲩⲥⲭⲩⲙⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
24 while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲩⲛⲕⲉⲣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲁϥϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁⲁⲧ.
25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ·
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲕⲙⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ·
28 God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ. ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ. ⲟⲩϯⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ϩⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ϩⲉⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲡⲉ.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
