< 1 Corinthians 6 >

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱϥ ⲉϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ϩⲓⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲛ.
2 Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
ⲃ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲩⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϯϩⲁⲡ.
3 Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲱϩ ⲉⲛⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
4 If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?
ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲃⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟϣϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲁⲑⲙ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩ.
5 I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ.
6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!
ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ.
7 Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
ⲍ̅ⲏⲇⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲟⲗⲱⲥ ⲣⲱ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁⲡ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲣⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲓⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲣⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲉϭⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ.
8 No, but you yourselves do wrong and defraud, and that against your brothers.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϥⲱϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲛⲏⲩ.
9 Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,
ⲑ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙⲁⲗⲁⲕⲟⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϩⲱϥⲧ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϯϩⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ̅ ⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 Some of you were such, but you were washed. You were sanctified. You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲉⲕⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ·
12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲣ̅ⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁⲕⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈.
13 “Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲑⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲟⲙ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲥϥⲟⲩ. ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
14 Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲛ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ·
15 Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉ. ⲧⲁϥⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ
16 Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ.
18 Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ. ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ.
19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ·
20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩϣⲉⲡⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲁⲥⲟⲩ. ϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲙⲁ·
