1 ⲁ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ. ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
And so, brothers, when I came to you, announcing to you the testimony of Christ, I did not bring exalted words or lofty wisdom.
For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲓϭⲟⲙ.
And my words and preaching were not the persuasive words of human wisdom, but were a manifestation of the Spirit and of virtue,
so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅. (aiōn g165)
Now, we do speak wisdom among the perfect, yet truly, this is not the wisdom of this age, nor that of the leaders of this age, which shall be reduced to nothing. (aiōn g165)
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲣϫⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ. (aiōn g165)
Instead, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory, (aiōn g165)
8 ⲏ̅ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ̅. ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ. (aiōn g165)
something that none of the leaders of this world have known. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
But this is just as it has been written: “The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what things God has prepared for those who love him.”
10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϭⲟⲗⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲧϩⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲡ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ (ⲛ̅)ⲛⲁⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
And who can know the things that are of a man, except the spirit which is within that man? So also, no one knows the things which are of God, except the Spirit of God.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ.
But we have not received the spirit of this world, but the Spirit who is of God, so that we may understand the things that have been given to us by God.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ.
And we are also speaking of these things, not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, bringing spiritual things together with spiritual things.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲉϥϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲱⲥ.
But the animal nature of man does not perceive these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand it, because it must be examined spiritually.
But the spiritual nature of man judges all things, and he himself may be judged by no man.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲉⲉⲓⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
For who has known the mind of the Lord, so that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
