| 10:1 |
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
|
| 10:2 |
and all were baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
|
| 10:3 |
and all ate the same spiritual food,
|
| 10:4 |
and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed [them]: (now the rock was the Christ;)
|
| 10:5 |
yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert.
|
| 10:6 |
But these things happened [as] types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.
|
| 10:7 |
Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
|
| 10:8 |
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
|
| 10:9 |
Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.
|
| 10:10 |
Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
|
| 10:11 |
Now all these things happened to them [as] types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.
|
| 10:12 |
So that let him that thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
|
| 10:13 |
No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able [to bear], but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that [ye] should be able to bear [it].
|
| 10:14 |
Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
|
| 10:15 |
I speak as to intelligent [persons]: do *ye* judge what I say.
|
| 10:16 |
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not [the] communion of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not [the] communion of the body of the Christ?
|
| 10:17 |
Because we, [being] many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.
|
| 10:18 |
See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?
|
| 10:19 |
What then do I say? that what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
|
| 10:20 |
But that what [the nations] sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.
|
| 10:21 |
Ye cannot drink [the] Lord's cup, and [the] cup of demons: ye cannot partake of [the] Lord's table, and of [the] table of demons.
|
| 10:22 |
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
|
| 10:23 |
All things are lawful, but all are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all do not edify.
|
| 10:24 |
Let no one seek his own [advantage], but that of the other.
|
| 10:25 |
Everything sold in the shambles eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.
|
| 10:26 |
For the earth [is] the Lord's and its fulness.
|
| 10:27 |
But if any one of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are minded to go, all that is set before you eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.
|
| 10:28 |
But if any one say to you, This is offered to holy purposes, do not eat, for his sake that pointed it out, and conscience sake;
|
| 10:29 |
but conscience, I mean, not thine own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
|
| 10:30 |
If *I* partake with thanksgiving, why am I spoken evil of for what *I* give thanks for?
|
| 10:31 |
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all things to God's glory.
|
| 10:32 |
Give no occasion to stumbling, whether to Jews, or Greeks, or the assembly of God.
|
| 10:33 |
Even as *I* also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
