1ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲧⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉϭⲓϩⲁⲡ ϩⲓ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲓ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ..

1If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

2ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϯ ϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲁⲡ..

2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

3⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲏⲧⲓⲅⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲃⲓⲟⲥ..

3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

4So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?

5ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩ⳿ϫⲫⲓⲟ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲇⲓ⳿ⲁ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ..

5I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?

6ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϥϭⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ϩⲓ ⲛⲓⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ..

6Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!

7The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!

9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

10ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲉϥⲑⲓϧⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲉϥϯϣⲱϣ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲉϥϩⲱⲗⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ..

10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

12⳿ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓⲛ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲉⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓⲛ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉ⳿ϣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ..

12“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

13“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ..

14By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also.

15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

16ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲧⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉϯⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲃ̅ ⲉⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ..

16Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

17ⲫⲏⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲧⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲠ⳪ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ..

17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

18Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

19ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ..

19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

20ⲁⲩϣⲉⲡ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩⲧⲓⲙⲏ ⲙⲁⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ.

20you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
