Paul The Apostle, 1 Corinthians Letter, One of a Kind Manuscript, Modern Masterpiece.
This 100% handmade one of a kind illuminated manuscript contains a text segment from Paul The Apostle, 1 Corinthians Letter.

Paul was an apostle (though not one of the Twelve Apostles) who taught the gospel of Christ to the first century world and was considered one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age.

This illuminated manuscript is handwritten in Greek minuscule perlschrift (based on the style in the late Byzantine era), with hand drawings illustration on high quality paper (emulating parchment paper) using a dip pen (metal nib) and acrylic ink.
It bears the original signature of the artist, date and place created, as well as a small gold colored Capricorn stamp seal.

An autograph note written in Greek and English is attached to this illuminated manuscript with information about the script, materials used, source of text and illustrations, and any other Additional Information: considered necessary by the artist regarding authenticity.  A lot of time, care and effort were involved to create this exceptional illuminated manuscript masterpiece so there is a very limited production capacity.

The Greek text:

13(1) Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον.

(2) καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν, καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν, ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάνειν, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδέν εἰμι.

(3) καὶ ἐὰν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου, καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα καυθήσωμαι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.

(4) Ἡ ἀγάπη μακροθυμεῖ, χρηστεύεται, ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ ζηλοῖ, ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ περπερεύεται, οὐ φυσιοῦται,

(5) οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ, οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ ἑαυτῆς, οὐ παροξύνεται, οὐ λογίζεται τὸ κακόν,

(6) οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ, συγχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ•

(7) πάντα στέγει, πάντα πιστεύει, πάντα ἐλπίζει, πάντα ὑπομένει.

(8) Ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε ἐκπίπτει. εἴτε δὲ προφητεῖαι, καταργηθήσονται• εἴτε γλῶσσαι, παύσονται• εἴτε γνῶσις, καταργηθήσεται.

(9) ἐκ μέρους δὲ γινώσκομεν καὶ ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν•

(10) ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ τὸ τέλειον, τότε τὸ ἐκ μέρους καταργηθήσεται.

(11) ὅτε ἤμην νήπιος, ὡς νήπιος ἐλάλουν, ὡς νήπιος ἐφρόνουν, ὡς νήπιος ἐλογιζόμην• ὅτε δὲ γέγονα ἀνήρ, κατήργηκα τὰ τοῦ νηπίου.

(12) βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι' ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον• ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους, τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην.

(13) νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις, ἐλπίς, ἀγάπη, τὰ τρία ταῦτα• μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη.

The English text translation:

Chapter 13 (1) If I were to speak in the tongues of men and of the angels, but had not love—I have become a brass instrument or a clanging cymbal.

(2) And if I were to have prophecy and to have perceived all the mysteries and all knowledge, and if I were to have all faith so as to even shift mountains, but had not love—I am nothing.

(3) Even were I to donate all my goods, and if I had surrendered my body, that I might elevate myself, but had not love—I have gained nothing.

(4) Love endures. Love acts. It does not envy. Love does not brag, nor puff up,

(5) nor offend. It does not look after itself. It is not provoked, nor keeps count of the bad.

(6) It does not gloat over injustice, but congratulates sincerely.

(7) It overlooks all, trusts all, hopes all, sustains all.

(8) Love never ever fails.Still, if there are prophecies, they will be completed. If there are tongues, they will stop. If there is knowledge, it will be completed.

(9) For about a part do I know, and about a part do I prophesy;

(10) but when fullness comes, the partial is completed.

(11) We were once a child, speaking as a child, thinking as a child, reasoning as a child; but now I have become a man, and have completed that childhood.

(12) For just now we see with a mirror indirectly; but then it will be face to face. Just now I know in part; but then I will understand, even as I am also understood.

(13) So now this remains—trust, hope, love—these three things, but the greatest of these is love.
