The Love Chapter | 1 Corinthians 13 Replica Papyrus 46 (P46) | Front/Back 2-3rd Century Manuscript

Own a piece of early Christian history with this Papyrus 46 (𝔓46) replica, featuring the love chapter (1 Corinthians 13) reproduced on both the front (recto) and back (verso).

The recto (front) side of this manuscript contains Greek text from 1 Corinthians 12:24–13:1. Because the primary focus of this replica is Paul's celebrated discourse on love in 1 Corinthians 13, the verso (back) side—containing 1 Corinthians 13:2–11—has been presented as the front-facing side. For collectors who prefer a simpler presentation, a one-sided version featuring only the Love Chapter is also available.

Carefully recreated to reflect the original manuscript, this piece represents one of the earliest surviving witnesses to the Apostle Paul’s letters, dating to around AD 175–225. Papyrus 46 is a cornerstone of New Testament textual history and provides powerful evidence of the early preservation of Scripture.
