1 Corinthians 10
1¶ Moreover, brothers, I would that ye not ignore how 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 did all eat the same spiritual food
4and did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was the Christ.
5But with many of them God was not pleased; therefore, they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6¶ Now these things became types of us, that we should not lust after evil things as they 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 dead: in one day, twenty-three thousand.
9Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them also tempted and perished by the serpents.
10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured and perished by the destroyer.
11Now all these things happened unto them as types, and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.
12Therefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
13No temptation has taken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
15¶ I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?
17For one loaf of bread means that many are one body, for we are all partakers of that one loaf.
18Behold Israel after the flesh: are not those who eat of the sacrifices participants of the altar?
19What do I say then? that the idol is anything or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?
20But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should be participants of demons.
21Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; ye cannot be participants of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.
22Shall 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 do not edify.
24Let no one seek his own good, but that of the other.
25Whatever is sold in the market, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake;
26for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.
27If any of those that do not believe bid you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you asking no questions for conscience sake.
28But if anyone says unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, do not eat it for the sake of him that disclosed it and for conscience sake; for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof:
29conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other, for why should my liberty be judged by another man’s conscience?
30For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatever ye do, do everything for the glory of God.
32Be without offense, neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles nor to the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God;
33even as I please everyone in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

1 Corinthians 10
10
1I do not want you to be without da'as, Achim b'Moshiach, that Avoteinu all were under the anan#10:1 Ex 13:21-22 (cloud) and passed through the sea,#10:1 Ex 14:22-25
2And all into Moshe Rabbenu were given tevilah in the anan (cloud) and in the sea,
3And all of the same spiritual okhel (food) ate,#10:3 Ex 16:4,35; Dt 8:3; Ps 78:24-29
4And all of the same spiritual drink drank, for they were drinking from a spiritual TZUR following them,#10:4 Ex 17:6; Num 20:11; Ps 78:15; 105:41 and that TZUR was Moshiach.
5But Hashem was not pleased with most of them, for they were strewn about in the desert, VAYISHCHATEM BAMIDBAR (then He slaughtered them in the desert).#10:5 Num 14:16,23,29-30; Ps 78:31
6Now these things occurred as moftim (examples) for us, in order that we would not crave what is ra'ah as they did.#10:6 Num 11:4,34; Ps 106:14
7Neither should you become ovdei elilim (idolaters), as some of them did, as it has been written, “And the people sat to eat and to drink and they got up to revel.”#10:7 Ex 32:6
8Neither should we commit zenut as some of them committed zenut and fell in one day twenty-three thousand.#10:8 Num 25:1,9. T.N. if Rav Sha'ul is not giving the number that died in one day, a very famous and devastating twenty-four hour period, (with Num 25:4 mentioning other executions and the subsequent total being 24,000, Num 24:9), then Rav Sha'ul is referring to those who died in Ex 32:35, quoting as he does Ex 32:6 in 1C 10:7
9Neither let us tempt Moshiach, as some of them put Moshiach to the test, and by nechashim (serpents) were being destroyed.#10:9 Ex 17:2; Num 21:5-6; Ps 78:18; 95:9; 106:4
10Neither should we murmur and grumble even as some of them VAYILONU (and they murmured)#10:10 Ex 15:24; 16:2; 17:3; Num 14:2,29; 16:41 and they were destroyed by the destroyer.#10:10 Num 14:2,36; 16:41-49; 17:5,10; Ex 12:23; Ps 106:25-27
11Now, these things happened to those ones as moftim (examples), but it was written for our admonition, to whom the Kitzei HaOlamim has come.
12So then the one that presupposes that he stands, let him take care lest he fall.
13No nissayon (temptation) has overtaken you, except that which is common to Bnei Adam, but, Hashem is ne'eman (faithful),#10:13 Dt 7:9 who will not let you to be brought into nissayon beyond what you are able, but will make with the nissayon also the derech [Tzaddikim]#10:13 Ps 1:6 as a way out for you to be able to endure.
14Therefore, my chaverim, flee from avodah zarah.
15I speak as to thinking men; you judge what I say.
16The Kos HaBracha (Cup of Blessing) over which we say the Bracha, is it not a [Mizbe'ach] sharing and deveykus participation in the Korban Pesach death and kapporah of Moshiach? The matzoh which we break, is this not a sharing and a deveykus participation in the Guf HaMoshiach?
17Because the matzoh is echad, we, many as we are, are one body, one new humanity, for we all partake of the matzoh echad.
18Observe Yisroel according to the basar. Are not the ones eating the korbanot (sacrifices) partakers of the Mizbe'ach#10:18 Lv 7:6,14,15 (altar)?
19What then am I saying? That a sacrifice to an elil (idol) is anything or that an idol is anything?
20No, the things which they sacrifice, YIZB'CHU LASHEDIM LO ELOHIM (They sacrificed to demons which were not G-d).#10:20 Dt 32:17; Ps 106:37 Now I do not want you to become sharers with the shedim (demons).#10:20 Lv 17:7; Dt 32:17; Ps 106:37
21You are not able to drink from the Kos of Hashem and also from the Kos HaShedim; you are not able to partake of the shulchan of Hashem and the shulchan of shedim (demons).
22Or is it that you would move Hashem to kinah (jealousy)?#10:22 Dt 32:21 We don't think we are stronger than He, do we?#10:22 Dt 32:16; 1Kgs 14:22; Ps 78:58; Jer 44:8; Koh 6:10; Isa 45:9
23“All things are lawful?” But not all things are beneficial; “All things are lawful?” But not all things edify.#10:23 1C 6:12
24Let no one seek his own benefit but the benefit of the other.
25Everything being sold in a meat market eat without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).
26For LAHASHEM HA'ARETZ UMELOAH (The earth is the L-rdʼs and the fullness thereof).#10:26 Ps 24:1; 50:12; 89:11; Ex 9:29; 19:5; Job 41:11; Ps 50:12
27If anyone of the Apikorosim invites you and you want to go, eat everything being set before you without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).
28But if anyone should say to you, “Zeh nizbach l'elil!” (This is sacrificed to an idol!), do not eat out of consideration for that man who informed you and because of matzpun (conscience).
29But I speak not about your matzpun but about the matzpun of the other man, for why is my cherut (freedom) brought into mishpat (judgment) by anotherʼs matzpun (conscience)?
30If I partake with Birkat Hamazon (grace after meals), why am I blamed for what I give todah (thanks)?
31Whether, therefore, you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things to the kavod (glory) of Hashem.#10:31 Zech 14:21
32Be without michshol both to Yehudim and to Yevanim and to the Kehillah of Hashem,
33even as I also please Bnei Adam in all things, not seeking my own advantage but that of the many, that they may be brought to Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
