Coptic: καν εsωπε ουντητν μμαυ νουτβα μπαιδαγωγοσ hμπεχριστοσ . αλλα νhαh νειωτ αν . ανοκ γαρ αιjπετηυτν hμπεχριστοσ ιησουσ hιτμπευαγγελιον .

English: yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world
Coptic: τενου δε νταισhαι νητν jεμπρτωh μνουα ευμουτε εροf jεουσον πε εsωπε ουπορνοσ πε η νρεfsμsεειδωλον η μμαιτοε νhουο η νρεfσαhου η νρεfthε η νρεfτωρπ παι ντειμινε ουδε μπρουωμ νμμαf .
English: But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person.
Coptic: ου γαρ εροι πε εκρινε ννετhιβολ . αυω ννετhιhουν αν . ντωτν κρινε ννετhιhουν
English: For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't you judge those who are within?
Coptic: πνουτε δε νακρινε ννετhιβολ fι μππονηροσ εβολ νhηττηυτν .
English: But those who are outside, God judges. 'Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.'
Coptic: ουνουα νατολμα εβολ νhηττηυτν εουντfουhωβ μνπεθιτουωf εjιhαπ hινρεfjι νcονσ αυω hινετουααβ αν .
English: Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
Coptic: η ντετνσοουν αν jενετουααβ νετνακρινε μπκοσμοσ . αυω εsjεευνακρινε μπκοσμοσ hιωττηυτν ντετνμπsα αν νhενκουι μμα νthαπ .

English: Don't you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
Coptic: εsωπεcε ουντητν μμαυ νhενhωβ ντεπβιοσ νετσοsf hντεκκλησια ναι μαθμσοου .
English: 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?
Coptic: ειjω μμοσ ευsιπε νητν . ται τε τhε μνλααυ νσοφοσ νhηττηυτν παι εfναscμcομ εδιακρινε ντμητε μπεfσον .

English: 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?

English: No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.

English: Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,
Coptic: ουδε μνρεfhωfτ ουδε μνμαιτοε νhουο ουδε μνρεfthε ουδε μνρεfσαhου ουδε μνρεfτωρπ νακληρονομει ντμντρρο μπνουτε .

English: 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.
Coptic: απνουτε δε τουνεσπενjοεισ . αυω fνατουνοσν hιτντεfcομ .
English: Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

English: Or don't you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, 'The two,' says he, 'will become one flesh.'
Coptic: πεττωcε δε μμοf επjοεισ ουπνευμα νουωτ πε .
English: But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
Coptic: πωτ εβολ ντπορνεια . νοβε νιμ ετερεπρωμε ναααυ σεμπβολ μπσωμα . πετπορνευε δε ντοf εfρνοβε επεfσωμα μαυααf .
English: Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
Coptic: η ντετνσοουν αν jεπετνσωμα πρπε πε μπεπνευμα ετουααβ ετνhηττηυτν . παι εντατετνjιτf εβολ hιτμπνουτε . αυω ντετν πωτν αν .

English: But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

Coptic: εsωπε δε ενσεναsεγκρατευε αν μμοου μαρουjι . νανουjι γαρ εhουερωκh .
English: But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
Coptic: νενταυjι δε tπαραγγειλε ναυ ανοκ αν αλλα πjοεισ ετμτρετεσhιμε πωρj επεσhαι .
English: But to the married I command--not I, but the Lord--that the wife not leave her husband

English: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Coptic: εsjε παπιστοσ δε ναπωρj μαρεfπωρj ενfο αν νhμhαλ νcιπσον η τσωνε hννειhωβ ντειμινε νταπjοεισ γαρ ταhμν hνουειρηνη .
English: Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
Coptic: ου γαρ πετερεσοουν μμοf τεσhιμε . μη τεναsτουjεπουhαι . αυω ου πετκσοουν μμοf πhαι μη κναsτουjετεκσhιμε .

English: I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a man to be as he is.
Coptic: κμηρ εσhιμε μπρsινε νσαβωλ κβηλ εβολ νσhιμε μπρsινε νσασhιμε .

Coptic: παι δε ειjω μμοf νασνηυ jεπευοειs νολκ πε . jεκαασ cε νκοουε ετευντουσhιμε μμαυ νσερτhε ννετεμνταυ .
English: But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
Coptic: αυω νετριμε hωσ ενσεριμε αν . αυω νετραsε hωσ ενσεραsε αν . αυω νετsωπ hωσ ενσεαμαhτε αν .
English: and those who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn't possess;
Coptic: αυω νετχρω μπεικοσμοσ hωσ ενσεχρω αν . fναπαραγε γαρ νcιπεσχημα μπεικοσμοσ .
English: and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
Coptic: tουεsτηυτν δε ετρετετνsωπε νατροουs . πετεμντfσhιμε ffιροουs εναπjοεισ jεεfνααρεσκε μπjοεισ ναs νhε .
English: But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
Coptic: πενταfjι δε ffιροουs εναπκοσμοσ jεεfνααρεσκε ντεfσhιμε ναs νhε .
English: but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Coptic: αυω fπηs αυω τεσhιμε ετεμντσhαι μντπαρθενοσ fιροουs εναπjοεισ jεκαασ εσεsωπε εσουααβ hμπεσσωμα μνπεσπνευμα τεντασjιhαι δε fιροουs εναπκοσμοσ jεναs νhε εσνααρεσκε μπεσhαι .
English: There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world--how she may please her husband.
Coptic: ειjω δε μπαι ετετννοfρε . jεκαασ αν ειεt νουελω εhηττηυτν αλλα προσουτσανο μντcιναhερατκ επjοεισ καλωσ αjνροουs
English: This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
Coptic: εsjε ουνουα δε jω μμοσ jεfsιπε εjντεfsεερε εsωπε ασρνοc αυω ται τε τhε ετssε εsωπε πετfουαsf μαρεfααf νfρνοβε αν μαρουjι .
English: But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn't sin. Let them marry.
Coptic: πενταfαhε δε ερατf hμπεfhητ εfταjρηυ εμνhτορ εροf . ουντfεξουσια δε μμαυ ετβεπεfουωs μμινμμοf . αυω αfκρινε μπαι hμπεfhητ εhαρεh ετεfsεερε καλωσ fνααασ .
English: But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
Coptic: hωστε πετναtτεfsεερε νhαι καλωσ fνααασ . αυω πετενfναταασ αν εfναρουhουο .
English: So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn't give her in marriage does better.
Coptic: τεσhιμε μηρ επhοσον πευοειs πεσhαι ονh ερsανπεσhαι δε μου ουρμhη τε εhμοοσ μνπετεhνασ μονον hμπjοεισ .
English: A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whoever she desires, only in the Lord.
Coptic: ναιατσ δε νhουο εσsανcω ντειhε καταταγνωμη . tjω γαρ μμοσ hω jεουνται μμαυ μπεπνευμα μπνουτε .
English: But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.
Coptic: ετβενsωωτ δε ννειδωλον τνσοουν jεουνταν τηρν μμαυ νουσοουν . πσοουν sαfjισε . ταγαπη δε sασκωτ .
English: Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Coptic: πετjω μμοσ jεαισουν λααυ μπατfσουν τhε ετssε εσοουν .
English: But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn't yet know as he ought to know.
Coptic: εsjεουνουα δε με μπνουτε παι αυσουωνf εβολ hιτοοτf .
English: But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
Coptic: ετβεπουωμ cε ννsωωτ ννειδωλον τνσοουν jεμνλααυ νειδωλον hμπκοσμοσ . αυω jεμννουτε νσαουα .
English: Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
