< 1 Corinthians 10 >
1 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
ⲁ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ.
2 and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ.
3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲥⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲥⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ. ⲧⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
5 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣϣⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲁⲓ̈ⲉ.
6 and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲏ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ.
7 Neither become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play”;
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲥⲱ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲥⲱⲃⲉ.
8 neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫⲟⲩⲧϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟ.
9 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟϥ.
10 neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲙ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
11 And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came, (aiōn )
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲁⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. (aiōn )
12 so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲉ.
13 No temptation has taken you—except that of man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above what you are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲁϩⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϥⲛⲁϯⲑⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉϥⲓ.
14 For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ.
15 as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ. ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ.
16 The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲁⲛⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲉϣⲁⲛⲡⲟϣϥ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
17 Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
18 See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ (ⲛ̅)ⲛⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ.
19 What do I say then? That an idol is anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ. ⲏ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ.
20 [No, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ.
21 You are not able to drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons; you are not able to partake of the table of the LORD and of the table of demons;
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲥⲉⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ.
22 do we arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϯⲕⲱϩ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲛϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ·
23 All things are lawful to me, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful to me, but not all things build up;
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲉⲓ ⲉⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲣ̅ⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲉⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲕⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ.
24 let no one seek his own—but each another’s.

25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϯ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁⲕⲉⲗⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ.
26 for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;

27 and if anyone of the unbelieving calls you, and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, inquiring nothing, because of the conscience;
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ. ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲕⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ.
28 and if anyone may say to you, “This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat, because of that one who showed [it], and of the conscience, for the LORD’s [is] the earth and its fullness:
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ.
29 and conscience, I say, not of yourself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another’s conscience?
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ (ⲧⲉ). ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁⲡⲏ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ.
30 And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?
