English: If one of the unbelievers invite you, and ye wish, go. All things which they will set before you, eat, making no enquiry because of the conscience.
Coptic: ερsαν ουα δε jοοσ νητν jε παι ουsωωτ νρπε πε μπρουομf ετβε πη ενταfjοοσ νητν μν τσυνιδησισ.
English: But if one should say to you: This is a thing slain for idols,' eat not, because of him who showed to you, and because of the conscience;
Coptic: τσυνιδησισ δε εtjω μμοσ ντωκ αν. αλλα ταπη. ετβε ου γαρ σεκρινε νταμντρμhε hιτν κεσυνιδησισ.
English: but I say because of a conscience: it is not thine, but that of thy neighbour. For why will my liberty be judged by another conscience?
Coptic: εsjε ανοκ tμετεχε ευχαρισ. jε ου σεjιουα εροι hμ πεtsπhμοτ ανοκ hαροf.
English: If I (pron.) receive in [a] thanksgiving, why am I blasphemed about that for which I (pron.) give thanks?
Coptic: ειτε cε τετνουωμ. ειτε ετετνσω. ειτε πετετνειρε μμοf hωβ νιμ αρισου ευεοου μπνουτε.

Coptic: κατα θε hω εtαρεσκε νουον νιμ hν hωβ νιμ ενtsινε αν νσατανοfρε. αλλα ταhαh jε ευεουjαι.
English: according as I also in all things please all, not seeking for mine own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
Coptic: τντν τηυτν εροι κατα θε ενταιτντωντ επεχσ.
English: Be ye like me, according as I also am like Christ.
Coptic: tεπαινου δε μμωτν jε τετνειρε μπαμεευε hν hωβ νιμ. αυω κατα θε ενταιt νητν νμπαραδοσισ τετναμαhτε μμοου
English: But I honour you because ye remember me in all things, and according as I delivered to you the traditions, ye lay hold on them.
Coptic: tουωs δε ετρετνειμε jε ταπε νhοουτ νιμ πε πεχσ. ταπε δε ντεσhιμε πε πεσhαι ταπε δε νπεχσ πε πνουτε.
English: I wish you to know (lit, knowing) that (the) head of every man is Christ, but (the) head of the woman is her husband, but (the) head of Christ is God.
Coptic: ρωμε νιμ εfsληλ η εfπροφητευε ερε τεfαπε hοβσ ftsιπε ντεfαπε.
English: Every man who prayeth or prophesieth, having his head covered, is shaming his head.
Coptic: σhιμε δε νιμ εσsληλ η εσπροφητευε ερε τεσαπε cολπ εβολ σtsιπε ντεσαπε. τειhε γαρ τε. αυω πεειhωβ νουωτ πε ντετερε jωσ hοοκε.
English: But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered shameth her head: for it is one and it is the same as she whose head is shaven.
Coptic: εsjε σναhβσ jωσ γαρ αν νcι τεσhιμε μαρεσsβ jωσ. εsjε ουsλοf δε ντεσhιμε πε sβ jωσ η hεκε jωσ. μαρεσhβσ jωσ
English: For if a woman will not cover her head, then let her shave it: if it is a dishonour unto a woman to shear her head, or to shave it, let her cover her head.
Coptic: πhοουτ γαρ νssε αν εροf εhωβσ ντεfαπε. εθικων πε αυω πεοου μπνουτε. τεσhιμε δε πεοου μπεσhαι τε.
English: For the man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is an image and a glory of God: but the woman--she is a glory of her husband.
Coptic: νταυjι πρωμε γαρ αν εβολ hν τεσhιμε αλλα νταυjι τεσhιμε εβολ hμ πρωμε.
English: For the man was not brought from the woman, but the woman from the man:
Coptic: καιγαρ νταυσντ πρωμε αν ετβε τεσhιμε. αλλα τεσhιμε ετβε πρωμε.
English: for the man was not also created because of the woman, but the woman because of the man:
Coptic: ετβε παι ssε ετεσhιμε εκω νουεξουσια εjν τεσαπε ετβε ναγγελοσ.
English: therefore the woman ought to put a veil upon her head because of the angels.
Coptic: πλην μν σhιμε αjν hοουτ ουδε hοουτ νουεs νσhιμε hμ πjοεισ.
English: Nevertheless neither is a woman without man nor man without woman in the Lord.
