1 Corinthians 10

1For I wouldG2309 not, brethren, have you ignorantG50, that our fathersG3962 wereG1510 all under the cloudG3507, and all passedG1330 through the seaG2281; 2and were all baptizedG907 unto MosesG3475 in the cloudG3507 and in the seaG2281; 3and did all eatG2068 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 foodG1033; 4and did all drinkG4095 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 drinkG4095: for they drankG4095 of a spiritualG4152 rockG4073 that followedG190 them: and the rockG4073 wasG1510 ChristG5547. 5Howbeit with most of them GodG2316 was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wildernessG2048. 6NowG1161 these thingsG3778 wereG1510 our examplesG5179, to the intent we should not lust after evilG2556 thingsG3778, as they also lusted. 7Neither be ye idolatersG1496, as were some of them; as it is writtenG1125, The peopleG2992 satG2523 downG2523 to eatG2068 and drinkG4095, and roseG450 up to play. 8Neither let us commitG4203 fornication, as some of them committedG4203, and fellG4098 in oneG1520 dayG2250 three and twentyG1501 thousandG5505. 9Neither let us make trial of the LordG2962, as some of them made trial, and perishedG622 by the serpentsG3789. 10Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perishedG622 by the destroyer. 11NowG1161 these thingsG3778 happenedG4819 unto them by way of example; and they were writtenG1125 for our admonition, upon whom the endsG5056 of the agesG165 are comeG2658. 12Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth takeG991 heedG991 lestG3361 he fallG4098. 13There hath no temptationG3986 takenG2983 you but such as man can bear: but GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, who will not suffer you to be temptedG3985 above that ye are ableG1410; but will with the temptationG3986 makeG4160 alsoG2532 the way of escape, that ye may be ableG1410 to endure it.

14Wherefore, my belovedG27, fleeG5343 from idolatryG1495. 15I speakG3004 as to wiseG5429 men; judgeG2919 ye what I sayG3004. 16The cupG4221 of blessingG2129 which we blessG2127, isG1510 it not a communion of the bloodG129 of ChristG5547? The breadG740 which we breakG2806, isG1510 it not a communion of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547? 17seeing that we, who areG1510 manyG4183, areG1510 oneG1520 breadG740, oneG1520 bodyG4983: for we all partakeG3348 of the oneG1520 breadG740. 18Behold IsraelG2474 after the fleshG4561: have not they that eatG2068 the sacrificesG2378 communion with the altarG2379? 19What sayG5346 I thenG3767? that a thing sacrificed to idolsG1497 isG1510 anythingG5100, or that an idolG1497 isG1510 anythingG5100? 20But I say, that the thingsG3739 which the Gentiles sacrificeG2380, they sacrificeG2380 to demonsG1140, and not to GodG2316: and I would not that ye should have communion with demonsG1140. 21Ye cannot drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962, and the cupG4221 of demonsG1140: ye cannot partakeG3348 of the tableG5132 of the LordG2962, and of the tableG5132 of demonsG1140. 22Or do we provokeG3863 the LordG2962 to jealousyG3863? areG1510 we strongerG2478 than he?

23All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832; but not all thingsG3956 are expedient. All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832; but not all thingsG3956 edifyG3618. 24Let no man seekG2212 his ownG1438, but each his neighbor’s good. 25Whatsoever is soldG4453 in the shambles, eatG2068, asking no question for conscience’G4893 sakeG1223; 26for the earthG1093 is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. 27If oneG5100 of them that believe not biddeth you to a feast, and ye are disposed to goG4198; whatsoever is setG3908 before you, eatG2068, asking no question for conscience’G4893 sakeG1223. 28But if any manG3778 sayG3004 unto you, This hath beenG1510 offered in sacrifice, eatG2068 not, for his sakeG1223 that showed it, and for conscience’G4893 sakeG1223: 29conscienceG4893, I sayG3004, not thine ownG1438, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judgedG2919 by another conscienceG4893? 30If I partakeG3348 with thankfulnessG5485, whyG5101 am I evil spoken of for that for which I giveG2168 thanksG2168? 31Whether thereforeG3767 ye eatG2068, or drinkG4095, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316. 32Give no occasion of stumbling, either to JewsG2453, or to GreeksG1672, or to the churchG1577 of GodG2316: 33even as I also pleaseG700 all men in all thingsG3956, not seekingG2212 mine own profit, but the profit of the manyG4183, that they may be savedG4982.
