1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I want to remind you about the good news I announced to you. You accepted it, and you have stood firm for it.
ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲁⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧϥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
2 It is through this good news that you are saved if you hold on to the message that I gave you. Otherwise you trusted for nothing!
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲓⲕⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ·
3 I passed on to you what I myself had also received, a message of vital importance: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture;
ⲅ̅ⲁⲓ̈ϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓⲧϥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ.
4 he was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, again in accordance with Scripture.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲙⲥϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ.
5 He appeared to Peter, then to the Twelve.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲕⲏⲫⲁ. ⲉⲓⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲛⲧ̅ⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ
6 After that he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still alive today, though some have died.
ⲋ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϯⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϣⲁⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ. ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅.
7 He appeared to James, then all the apostles.
ⲍ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
8 Last of all, he also appeared to me, someone born as it were at the wrong time.
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩϩⲉ. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
9 For I'm the least important apostle of all, not even fit to be called an apostle since I persecuted God's church.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲭⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ. ⲉⲛϯⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ·
10 But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace given to me wasn't wasted. On the contrary I've worked harder than all of them—though not me, but God's grace working through me.
ⲓ̅ⲑⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϯⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓ̈ϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈.
11 So whether it's I or them, this is the message we shared with you that brought you to trust in God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ·
12 Now if the message declares that Christ has been raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say there's no resurrection of the dead?
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ.
13 If there's no resurrection of the dead then Christ hasn't been raised either.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ.
14 And if Christ isn't raised, then our message we shared with you is pointless, and your trust in God is pointless too.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
15 In addition, we would be shown to be false witnesses of God when we testified that God raised Christ from the dead. But God didn't raise Christ from the dead if it's true that there's no resurrection.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅·
16 If the dead are not raised, then Christ hasn't been raised either,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ.
17 and if Christ hasn't been raised, then your trust in God is useless, and you are still in your sins.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
18 This also means that those who died in Christ are lost.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲁⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
19 If our hope in Christ is only for this life, we're the most pitiful people of all!
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲁⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲓⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ·
20 But Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of the harvest from those who have died.
ⲕ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅
21 Just as death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead came through a man.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
22 Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲁⲇⲁⲙ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
23 But each in their own turn: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ when he comes.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲧⲁⲅⲙⲁ. ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲛⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅̅̅ⲥ̅ ϩ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ.
24 After this comes the end, when Christ hands over the kingdom to God the Father, having destroyed all rulers, authorities, and powers.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲁ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϯ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲓϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ.
25 Christ has to rule until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ϣⲁⲛⲧϥ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϫⲁϫⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ.
26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡϩⲁⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲁϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.
27 As Scripture says, “He put everything under his feet.” (Of course when it says “everything” is put under him it's obvious this doesn't refer to God who placed everything under Christ's authority.)
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲕⲁⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ.
28 When everything has been placed under Christ's authority, then the Son will also place himself under God's authority, so that God who gave the Son authority over everything may be all in all.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϥⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
29 Otherwise what will those people do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then would people be baptized for them?
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲣⲱ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
30 As for us, why do we place ourselves in danger hour after hour?
ⲗ̅ⲁϩⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲓⲛⲇⲩⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ.
31 I die every day—let me say it bluntly, my brothers and sisters. This is just as sure as the pride I have for what Christ Jesus has done in you.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲙⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲛⲉ ϣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲉⲓϥ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
32 Humanly speaking, what would I gain by fighting with those people in Ephesus who were like wild animals, if the dead are not raised? If the dead are not raised, “let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”!
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲩ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ.
33 Don't be fooled: “bad company ruins good character.”
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲛⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲁⲕⲉⲛⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ.
34 Come to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! Some of you don't know God. I tell you this to shame you.
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲏⲫⲉ ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲓ̈ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
35 Of course somebody will ask, “How exactly are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?”
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ. ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
36 What a foolish question! What you sow doesn't sprout into life unless it dies.
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϣⲁϥϫⲟϥ ⲙⲉϥⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛϥ̅ⲙⲟⲩ.
37 When you sow, you don't sow the plant it will grow into, just the bare seed, whether wheat or whatever you're planting.
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲕϫⲟϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲃⲗ̅ⲃⲓⲗⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲕⲏⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲟ. ⲏ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲣⲟϭ.
38 God makes the plant grow into the form he has chosen, and different seeds produce different plants with different forms.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϭⲣⲱⲱϭ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲟϥ.
39 What living things are made from is not the same. Human beings have one kind of body tissue, while animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲁⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲗⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲁⲛ̅ⲧⲃⲧ̅.
40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. Heavenly bodies have one kind of beauty, earthly bodies another.
ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ.
41 The sun shines in one way, and the moon another, while the stars are different again, with each one shining in a different way.
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲏ. ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟϩ. ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲥⲓⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ.
42 It's the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay; it is raised to last forever.
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
43 It is sown in shame; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱϣ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϭⲱⲃ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ.
44 It is sown as a natural body; it is raised as a spiritual body. Just as there are natural bodies there are spiritual bodies.
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲛ. ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲛ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
45 As Scripture says, “The first man, Adam, became a living being;” but the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲉⲥⲟⲛϩ̅. ⲡϩⲁⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲉⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ.
46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural—the spiritual came after that.
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲯⲩⲭⲓⲕⲟⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
47 The first man is from the dust of the earth; the second man is from heaven.
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲕⲁϩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ· ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ.
48 Earthly people are like the man made from the earth; heavenly people are like the man from heaven.
ⲙ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ.
49 Just as we bore the likeness of the earthly man so we shall bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲫⲟⲣⲓ ⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲫⲟⲣⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ.
50 However, I tell you this, my brothers and sisters: our present bodies cannot inherit the kingdom of God. These decaying bodies cannot inherit what lasts forever.
ⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϣⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ϩⲓⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ·
51 Listen, I'm going to reveal a mystery! Not all of us will die—but we will all be changed,
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲛ̅ⲕⲧⲟⲕ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣⲓⲃⲉ
52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised never to die again, and we will be changed.
ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲡⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲓⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ̅. ϥⲛⲁⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣⲓⲃⲉ.
53 For this perishable body must be clothed with a body that never perishes. This mortal life must be clothed with immortality.
ⲛ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϯ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲙⲟⲩ.
54 When this perishable body has been clothed with a body that never perishes, and this mortal life has been clothed with immortality, then the Scripture will come true that says, “Death has been totally conquered and destroyed.

58 So my dear brothers and sisters: be strong, stand firm, doing everything you can for the Lord's work, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord is wasted.
