1 Corinthians 10
1 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
ⲁ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
2 and were all baptized into Moses by the cloud and by the sea;
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
3 and did all eat the same spiritual food;
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ
4 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and that rock was an emblem of Christ.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲥⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲥⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁⲧⲓⲕⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉ
5 But with the greater part of them God was displeased: for they were destroyed in the wilderness.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲱⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣϣⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲁⲓⲉ
6 Now these things were examples for us, that we might not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ
7 And be ye not idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play."
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲣϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲥⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲥⲱⲃⲉ
8 Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him, and were destroyed by serpents: nor murmur,
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲛⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲟϥ
10 as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened to them as examples: and are written for our admonition, on whom the last ages are come. (aiōn g165)

12 Wherefore let him, that thinks he standeth, take heed least he fall.

13 No temptation has yet taken you but what is common to man: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to sustain; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

14 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, flee from idolatry.

15 I speak to you as to men of understanding: and judge ye what I say,

16 ---The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲁⲛⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲉϣⲁⲛⲡⲟϣϥ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
17 For the bread is one, and we though many are one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲓⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh, Are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that what is sacrificed to an idol is in itself any thing to stumble at?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲏ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ
20 No: but this I say, that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.

21 And I would not have you partakers with demons. Ye cannot drink of the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲥⲉ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲇⲁⲓⲙⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⲛⲛⲇⲁⲓⲙⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲏ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϯⲕⲱϩ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲏ ⲉⲛϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
23 If all things be lawful for me, yet all things are not expedient: all things may be lawful for me, but all things do not edify.

24 Let no one seek his own only, but every one another's benefit.

25 Eat then whatever is sold in the shambles, asking no questions for conscience sake:

26 for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

27 and if any of the unbelievers invite you to an entertainment, and ye have a mind to go, whatever is set before you, eat, asking no questions for conscience-sake.

28 But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, ---eat it not; for his sake who informed thee, and for conscience-sake: for, as I said, the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, so that thou mayst have food enough without it.

29 Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's; for why is my liberty to be judged by another man's conscience?
