1 Corinthians 10
1. Moreover, brethren, I would * not that ye should be ignorant * , how that all our fathers were * under the cloud, and all passed * through the sea;
2. And were * all baptized * unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3. And did * all eat * the same spiritual meat;
4. And did * all drink * the same spiritual drink: for they drank * of that spiritual Rock that followed them * : and that Rock was * Christ.
5. But with many of them God was * not well pleased * : for they were overthrown * in the wilderness.
6. Now these things were * our examples, to the intent we should * not lust after evil things, as they also lusted * .
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 * of serpents.
10. Neither murmur ye * , as some of them also murmured * , and were destroyed * of the destroyer.
11. Now all these things happened * unto them for ensamples: and they are written * for our admonition,upon whom the ends of the world are come * .
12. Wherefore let * him that thinketh * he standeth * take heed * lest he fall * .
13. There hath * no temptation taken * you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will * not suffer * you to be tempted * above that ye are able * ; but will * with the temptation also make * a way to escape,that ye may be able * to bear * it.
14. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee * from idolatry.
15. I speak * as to wise men; judge * ye what I say * .
16. The cup of blessing which we bless * , is it * not the communion of the blood of Christ? 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 that one bread.
18. Behold * Israel after the flesh: are * not they * which eat * of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19. What say I * then? that the idol is * any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is * any thing?
20. But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice * , they sacrifice * to devils, and not to God: and I would * not that ye should have * fellowship with devils.
21. Ye cannot * drink * the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot * be partakers * of the Lord's table, and of 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 man seek * his own, but every man another's wealth.
25. Whatsoever is sold * in the shambles, that eat * , asking * no question * for * conscience sake:
26. For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
27. If any of them that believe not bid * you to a feast, and ye be disposed * to go * ; whatsoever is set before * you, eat * , asking * no question * for * conscience sake.
28. But if any man say * unto you, This is * offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat * not for his sake that shewed it * , and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
29. Conscience, I say * , not thine own, but of the other: for why is * my liberty judged * of another man's conscience?
30. For if I by grace be a partaker * , why am I evil spoken of * for that for which I give thanks * ?
31. Whether therefore ye eat * , or drink * , or whatsoever ye do * , do * all to the glory of God.
32. Give * none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
33. Even as I please * all men in all things, not seeking * mine own profit * , but the profit of many, that they may be saved * .
