1 Coríntios 10

¹ Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud,

² and all passed through the sea, And were all baptized unto Moses,

³ in the cloud and in the sea, And all ate the same spiritual meat,

⁴ And all drank the same spiritual drink (for they drank out of the spiritual rock which followed them; and that rock was Christ) Yet, with the most of them, God was not well-pleased;

⁵ for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁶ Now these things were for our example, that we might not desire evil things, as they desired.

⁷ Neither 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.

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

⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

¹⁰ Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

¹¹ Now all these things happened to them for examples, and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come.

¹² Therefore let him that standeth, take heed, lest he fall.

¹³ There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above your ability, but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

¹⁵ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?

¹⁶ The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

¹⁷ For we, being many, are one bread, and one body; for we are all partakers of the one bread.

¹⁸ Consider Israel after the flesh. Are not they who eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?

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

²⁰ But that what the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. Now I would not that ye should be partakers with devils.

²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils; ye cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and the table of devils.

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

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

²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but every one another's welfare.

²⁵ Whatever is sold in the shambles eat, asking no questions for conscience sake.

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

²⁷ And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake.

²⁸ But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for his sake that shewed thee, and for conscience sake.

²⁹ Conscience I say, not thy own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?

³⁰ For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I blamed for that for which I give thanks?

³¹ Therefore whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

³² Give no offence either to the Jews, or to the Gentiles, or to the church of God:

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