1 Corinthians 10
1 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all 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 were all baptized 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 drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲥⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲥⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ. ⲧⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣϣⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲁⲓ̈ⲉ.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲏ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ.
7 Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲥⲱ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲥⲱⲃⲉ.
8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫⲟⲩⲧϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟ.
9 Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟϥ.
10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲙ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲁⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. (aiōn g165)
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲉ.
13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure 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 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ.
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ. ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲁⲛⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲉϣⲁⲛⲡⲟϣϥ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲛ (ⲛ̅)ⲛⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ.
19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ. ⲏ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ.
20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ.
21 You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both 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 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϯⲕⲱϩ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲙⲏ ⲉⲛϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ·
23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”

27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ.
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
