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
1Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3and all ate the same spiritual food; 4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. 5However with most 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. 7Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”#Exodus 32:6 8Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell. 9Let’s not test Christ,#10:9 NU reads “the Lord” instead of “Christ”. as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents. 10Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer. 11Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
13No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say. 16The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ? 17Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread. 18Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
19What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons. 21You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons. 22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up. 24Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good. 25Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience, 26for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”#Psalms 24:1 27But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience. 28But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.” 29Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience? 30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
31Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God; 33even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
