1 Corinthians 3
1 I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh—as unto babes in Christ: —
ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
2 With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; —nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able,
ⲃ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲥⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ.
3 For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲱϩ ϩⲓϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
4 For, as soon as one beginneth to say—I, indeed, am of Paul! and another—I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?
ⲇ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ. ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ.
5 What then is Apollos? and, what is Paul? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ. ⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϯ ⲛⲁϥ·
6 I, planted, Apollos, watered, —but, God, caused to, grow.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲥⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ.
7 So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, —but, God, who causeth to, grow.
ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲧⲧⲥⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ.
8 Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one: —howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive, —according to his own labour.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲥⲟ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲉ. ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥϩⲓⲥⲉ·
9 For we are, God’s, fellow-workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, God’s building.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛϩⲉⲛϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
10 According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;
ⲓ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲉⲕⲧⲱⲛ· ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲱ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲱⲧ ⲉϫⲱⲥ. ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲕⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ.
11 For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲁⲕⲉⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
12 But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation—gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲕⲱⲧ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲃ. ⲟⲩϩⲁⲧ. ϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ϩⲉⲛϣⲉ. ⲟⲩⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲟⲟⲩⲉ.
13 Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, —and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: —
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
14 If, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive, —

15 If, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved—though, thus, as through fire.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ϥⲛⲁϯⲟⲥⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ̅·
16 Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
17 If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, —and such are ye.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ.
18 Let no one be deceiving himself: —if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise; (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲝⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲥⲟϭ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ. (aiōn g165)
19 For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written—He that taketh the wise in their knavery, —
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϭⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲕⲟⲧⲥ̅.
20 And again—The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ
21 So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, all things, are yours—

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all, are, yours,
