Papyrus 15 (named after Gregory-Aland with Sigel ¹⁵ ) is an early Greek copy of the New Testament . This papyrus manuscript of 1st Corinthians only contains verses 7.18-8.4. The style of the handwriting is documentary. It was dated to the 3rd century by means of paleography . ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$

The papyrus was excavated in Oxyrhynchus and published in 1910 under the name P. Oxy. VII 1008 published. Pp. 4-8. Grenfell and Hunt suggested that ¹⁵ and ^{16 were} parts of the same manuscript. Both manuscripts have the same shape of the letters, line spacing and punctuation. ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$ ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$
