1st Corinthians 10
10
CHAPTER 10
1Brethren, I will not, that ye unknow, that all our fathers were under [a] cloud, and all passed the sea;
2and all were baptized in Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;
3and all ate the same spiritual meat,
4and all drank the same spiritual drink; and they drank of the spiritual stone following them; and the stone was Christ.
5But not in full many of them it was well pleasant to God; for why they were cast down in [the] desert.
6But these things were done in figure of us, that we be not coveters of evil things, as they coveted.
7Neither be ye made idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.
8Neither do we fornication, as some of them did fornication, and three and twenty thousand were dead in one day.
9Neither tempt we Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished of serpents.
10Neither grutch ye, as some of them grutched, and they perished of a destroyer [or of the waster].
11And all these things fell to them in figure; but they be written to our amending [or correction], into whom the ends of the worlds be come [or the ends of the world have come].
12Therefore he that guesseth him, that he standeth, see he, that he fall not.
13Temptation take not you, but man’s temptation; for God is true, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above that that ye may; but he shall make with temptation also purveyance, that ye may suffer [or sustain].
14Wherefore, ye most dearworthy to me, flee ye from the worshipping of maumets [or idols].
15As to prudent men I speak, deem ye yourselves [or ye yourselves deem] that thing that I say.
16Whether the cup of blessing which we bless, is not the communing of Christ’s blood? and whether the bread which we break, is not the part-taking of the body of the Lord?
17For we many be one bread and one body, all we that take part of one bread and of one cup.
18See ye Israel after the flesh, whether they that eat sacrifices, be not partners of the altar?
19What therefore say I, that a thing that is offered to idols is anything, or that the idol is anything?
20But those things that heathen men offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. But I will not, that ye be made fellows of fiends;
21for ye may not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of fiends; ye may not be partners of the board of the Lord, and of the board of fiends.
22Whether we have envy to the Lord? whether we be stronger than he?
23All things be leaveful to me, but not all things be speedful. All things be leaveful to me, but not all things edify.
24No man seek that thing that is his own, but that thing that is of another.
25All thing that is sold in the butchery, eat ye, asking nothing for conscience.
26The earth and the plenty of it, is the Lord’s.
27If any of heathen [or of unfaithful] men call you to supper, and ye will go, all thing that is set to you, eat ye, asking nothing for conscience.
28But if any man saith, This thing is offered to idols, do not ye eat, for him that showed [this thing], and for conscience;
29and I say not, thy conscience, but of another [man’s]. But whereto is my freedom [or my liberty] deemed of another man’s conscience?
30Therefore if I take part with grace, what am I blasphemed, for that that I do thankings [or graces]?
31Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or do any other thing, do ye all things to the glory of God.
32Be ye without offence to Jews, and to heathen men, and to the church of God;
33as I by all things please to all men, not seeking that that [or what] is profitable to me, but that that is profitable to many men, that they be made safe.

1 Corinthians 10
10
1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3and did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7Neither 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. 8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 11Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13There 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.
14Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 15I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 16The 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? 17For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 18Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20But 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. 21Ye 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. 22Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 24Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
25Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 26for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 27If 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. 28But 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: 29conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? 30For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 33even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
