¹For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

¹ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܐܒܗܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܥܢܢܐ ܗܘܘ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܝܡܐ ܥܒܪܘ ܀

²and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

²ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܝܕ ܡܘܫܐ ܥܡܕܘ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܘܒܝܡܐ ܀

³and did all eat the same spiritual food;

³ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܕܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܐܟܠܘ ܀

⁴and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.

⁴ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܡܫܬܝܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܐܫܬܝܘ ܫܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܝ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁵Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁵ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܤܘܓܐܗܘܢ ܐܨܛܒܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܀

⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

⁶ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܠܢ ܗܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܪܓܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܪܓܘ ܀

⁷Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

⁷ܘܐܦܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܦܠܚܝ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܦܠܚܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܝܬܒ ܥܡܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܘܠܡܫܬܐ ܘܩܡܘ ܠܡܫܬܥܝܘ ܀

⁸Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

⁸ܘܐܦܠܐ ܢܙܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܙܢܝܘ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܒܚܕ ܝܘܡܐ ܥܤܪܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܀

⁹Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.

⁹ܘܠܐ ܢܢܤܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܤܝܘ ܘܐܘܒܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܚܘܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.

¹⁰ܘܐܦܠܐ ܬܪܛܢܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܪܛܢܘ ܘܐܒܕܘ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܚܒܠܢܐ ܀

¹¹Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

¹¹ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܓܕܫ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܛܘܦܤܢ ܗܘܝ ܘܐܬܟܬܒ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܕܚܪܬܗܘܢ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܡܛܝܬ ܀

¹²Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

¹²ܡܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܕܤܒܪ ܕܩܡ ܢܙܕܗܪ ܕܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܀

¹³There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

¹³ܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܛܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܪܦܝܟܘܢ ܕܬܬܢܤܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܨܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܢܤܝܘܢܟܘܢ ܡܦܩܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܬܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܡܤܝܒܪܘ ܀

¹⁴Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

¹⁴ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܥܪܘܩܘ ܡܢ ܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܀

¹⁵I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

¹⁵ܐܝܟ ܕܠܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܘܢܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ?

¹⁶ܟܤܐ ܗܘ ܕܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܡܒܪܟܝܢܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܕܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܨܝܢܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܦܓܪܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁷seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we are all partake of the one bread.

¹⁷ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܚܕ ܗܘ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܠܢ ܚܕ ܚܢܢ ܦܓܪ ܟܠܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܡܐ ܢܤܒܝܢܢ ܀

¹⁸Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar?

¹⁸ܚܙܘ ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܒܒܤܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܕܒܚܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܠܡܕܒܚܐ ܀

¹⁹What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

¹⁹ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܕܒܚܐ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܡܕܡ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܀

²⁰But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons.

²⁰ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܕܒܚܝܢ ܚܢܦܐ ܠܫܐܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܚܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܠܫܐܕܐ ܀

²¹Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

²¹ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܘܢ ܟܤܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܟܤܐ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܘܬܦܘܢ ܒܦܬܘܪܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܒܦܬܘܪܐ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܀

²²Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

²²ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܛܢܘ ܡܛܢܝܢܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܚܤܝܢܝܢܢ ܡܢܗ ܀

²³All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify.

²³ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܦܩܚ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܒܢܐ ܀

²⁴Let no man seek his own, but [each] his neighbor's [good].

²⁴ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܦ ܕܚܒܪܗ ܀

²⁵Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience' sake,

²⁵ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܡܙܕܒܢ ܒܡܩܠܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܥܘܩܒܐ ܡܛܠ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܀

²⁶for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

²⁶ܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܡܠܐܗ ܀

²⁷If one of them that believe not biddeth you [to a feast], and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience' sake.

²⁷ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܢܦܐ ܩܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܤܝܡ ܩܕܡܝܟܘܢ ܐܟܘܠܘ ܕܠܐ ܥܘܩܒܐ ܡܛܠ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܀

²⁸But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake:

²⁸ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܗܢܐ ܕܕܒܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܀

²⁹conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other's; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

²⁹ܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܐܪܘܬܝ ܡܬܕܝܢܐ ܡܢ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܐܚܪܢܐ ܀

³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

³⁰ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܬܚܫܚ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܓܕܦ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܘܕܐܢܐ ܀

³¹Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

³¹ܐܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܢ ܫܬܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܀

³²Give no occasions of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

³²ܕܠܐ ܬܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܘܠܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

³³even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of the many, that they may be saved.

³³ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܫܦܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܝ ܦܩܚ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܦܩܚ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܀
