1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϫⲱϩ ⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓ ϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈.
3 Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
ⲅ̅ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ. ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲕⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈.
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
ⲇ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲟ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ. ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲟ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲧⲉ.
5 Do not deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
ⲉ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϥⲉϭⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲱⲛⲃ̅ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲥⲣ̅ϥⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ. ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ·
7 Yet I wish that all people were like me. However each one has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
ⲍ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϩⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲕⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
ⲏ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲭⲏⲣⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϭⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϩⲉ ϩⲱ.
9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
ⲑ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉϣⲉⲅⲕⲣⲁⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϫⲓ. ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲣⲱⲕϩ̅.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈.
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲥϣⲁⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲛⲥ̅ϩⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ·
12 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϭⲱ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲗⲟ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϭⲱ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲥⲗⲟ ϩⲁⲡϩⲁⲓ̈.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲛ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲉ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called you to peace.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲱⲣϫ̅. ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲡⲱⲣϫ̅. ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲏ̅ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲓⲛⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ.
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

17 Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the churches.

18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉϥⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϩⲟⲃⲥϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲧϥ̅.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ.
20 Let each person stay in that calling in which he was called.

21 Were you called being a slave? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲕ ⲉⲕⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲛⲁⲕ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲭⲣⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ.
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a slave is the Lord's free person. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's slave.

23 You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of people.

24 Brothers, let each one, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.

25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

26 I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a person to remain as he is.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϭⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, those who have wives should be as though they had none;

30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;

31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the form of this world is passing away.

32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲟⲩⲉϣⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲛⲧϥ̅ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϥϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ϥϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ.
34 and is divided. And the woman that is unmarried, or a virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the one that is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲡⲏϣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥ̅ϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ ϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥϫⲓϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈.
35 This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

36 But if anyone thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He does not sin. Let them marry.
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲥⲣ̅ⲛⲟϭ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧ(ϣ)ϣⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣϥ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲁⲁϥ ⲛϥ̅ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϫⲓ.
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.

38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.

39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
