< 1 Corinthians 6 >
1 If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏ ⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱϥ ⲉϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ϩⲓ ⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲛ
2 Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?
ⲃ̅ⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲛϯϩⲁⲡ
3 Do you not know that we are to sit in judgement upon angels--to say nothing of things belonging to this life?
ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲛⲡⲱϩ ⲉⲛⲁ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
4 If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church--is it they whom you make your judges?
ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲃⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟϣϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲑⲙⲥⲟⲟⲩ
5 I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ
6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲓ ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ
7 To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?
ⲍ̅ⲏⲇⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲟⲗⲱⲥ ⲣⲱ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲁⲡ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲣⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲓⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲣⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲉϭ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ
8 On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϥⲱϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲥⲛⲏⲩ
9 Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,
ⲑ̅ⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲗⲁⲕⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲣⲉϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲙⲛ ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ
10 nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲣⲉϥϩⲱϥⲧ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲓⲧⲟ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲣⲉϥϯϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲣⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲉⲕⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
12 Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϯⲛⲁⲕⲁ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
13 Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲟⲙ ⲛⲑⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲑⲏ ⲛⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲟⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲥϥⲟⲩ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ
14 and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲧⲁϥⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ
16 Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
17 But he who is in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ
18 Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲓⲁ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲉⲙⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ
19 Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ
20 And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
