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

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

²ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܝܕ ܡܘܫܐ ܥܡܕܘ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܘܒܝܡܐ ܀

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

³ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܕܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܐܟܠܘ ܀

³and all ate the same spiritual food;

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

⁴and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

⁵ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܤܘܓܐܗܘܢ ܐܨܛܒܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܀

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

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

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

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

⁷Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Exodus 32:6

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

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

⁹ܘܠܐ ܢܢܤܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܤܝܘ ܘܐܘܒܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܚܘܘܬܐ ܀

⁹Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.

¹⁰ܘܐܦܠܐ ܬܪܛܢܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܪܛܢܘ ܘܐܒܕܘ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܚܒܠܢܐ ܀

¹⁰Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

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

¹¹Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

¹²ܡܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܕܤܒܪ ܕܩܡ ܢܙܕܗܪ ܕܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܀

¹²Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.

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

¹³No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

¹⁴ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܥܪܘܩܘ ܡܢ ܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܀

¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

¹⁵ܐܝܟ ܕܠܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܘܢܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹⁵I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.

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

¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?

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

¹⁷Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.

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

¹⁸Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

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

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

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

²⁰But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.

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

²¹You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

²²ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܛܢܘ ܡܛܢܝܢܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܚܤܝܢܝܢܢ ܡܢܗ ܀

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

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

²³“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

²⁴ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܦ ܕܚܒܪܗ ܀

²⁴Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

²⁵ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܡܙܕܒܢ ܒܡܩܠܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܥܘܩܒܐ ܡܛܠ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܀

²⁵Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

²⁶ܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܡܠܐܗ ܀

²⁶for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.” Psalm 24:1

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

²⁷But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

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

²⁸But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

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

²⁹Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

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

³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks?

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

³¹Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

³²ܕܠܐ ܬܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܘܠܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

³²Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;

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

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