Coptic New Testament
1Now concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲛⲁⲛⲉⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ..
2But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
2ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲭⲁ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ϯⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϯⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲭⲁ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲥ..
3Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.

4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.

6But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.

7For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.

8But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.

9But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.

10But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.

11And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.

12For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

13And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.

14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.

15But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.

18Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

22For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.

25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.

28But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.

29This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;

31And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

32But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.

34And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

35And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.

36But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.

37For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.

38Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.

39A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
