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.

Warnings from Israel’s Past
1Now I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors#Ps 44:1; Ac 7:11 were all under the cloud,#Ex 13:21 all passed through the sea,#Ex 14:29 2and all were baptized#Ac 22:16 into Moses#Ps 77:20; Mt 8:4; Heb 3:2 in the cloud and in the sea. 3They all ate the same spiritual food,#Ex 16:31 4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock#Ex 17:6; Nm 20:7–13 that followed them, and that rock was Christ.#Jn 4:14; 6:30–35 5Nevertheless God was not pleased with most of them, since they were struck down in the wilderness.#Jd 5
6Now these things took place as examples for us, so that we will not desire#Mt 27:23; Jms 4:2 evil things as they did.#10:6 Lit they desired#Nm 11:4,33–34; Ps 78:18; 106:14 7Don’t become idolaters#Eph 5:5 as some of them were; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to party.#10:7 Or to dance#10:7Ex 32:6#Ex 32:6 8Let us not commit sexual immorality#1Co 6:18; Rv 2:14,20; 17:2; 18:3,9 as some of them did,#10:8 Lit them committed sexual immorality and in a single day twenty-three thousand people died.#Nm 25:1–18; Ps 106:29 9Let us not test Christ as some of them did#10:9 Lit them tested and were destroyed by snakes.#Nm 21:6 10And don’t grumble#Jn 6:41; Jd 16 as some of them did,#10:10 Lit them grumbled#Nm 16:41–50 and were killed by the destroyer.#10:10 Or the destroying angel#Ex 12:23; 2Sm 24:16; 1Ch 21:15; Ps 78:49 11These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our instruction,#Ps 102:18 on whom the ends of the ages#10:11 Or goals of the ages, or culmination of the ages#Mk 13:7 have come.#Mk 10:30 12So, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall.#Pr 24:16; Heb 6:8 13No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful;#Nm 12:7 he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out#2Pt 2:9 so that you may be able to bear it.
Warning against Idolatry
14So then, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15I am speaking as to sensible people. Judge for yourselves what I am saying. 16The cup#Mt 26:27; Mk 14:23; Lk 22:17,20; 1Co 11:25–26 of blessing#Mk 6:41; Gl 3:14 that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread#Mt 26:26; Mk 14:22; Lk 22:19; Ac 2:42,46; 20:7 that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17Because there is one bread, we who are many are one#Jn 11:52; Eph 4:4 body, since all of us share the one bread. 18Consider the people of Israel.#10:18 Lit Look at Israel according to the flesh Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?#Gn 8:20; Lv 1:5; Nm 3:26; Dt 12:27; 1Sm 2:28; 1Ch 6:49; Ps 26:6; Ezk 8:15; Heb 7:13 19What am I saying then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20No, but I do say that what they#10:20 Other mss read Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons! 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in the Lord’s table and the table of demons. 22Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?#Ec 6:10
Christian Liberty
23“Everything is permissible,”#10:23 Other mss add for me but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,”#10:23 Other mss add for me but not everything builds up. 24No one is to seek his own good, but the good of the other person.#Mk 10:45; Php 2:4
25Eat everything that is sold in the meat market, without raising questions for the sake of conscience, 26since the earth is the Lord’s,#Mk 13:19 and all that is in it.#10:26Ps 24:1#Ps 24:1 27If any of the unbelievers invites you over and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, without raising questions for the sake of conscience. 28But if someone says to you, “This is food from a sacrifice,” do not eat it,#Lk 10:8 out of consideration for the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.#10:28 Other mss add “For the earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it.” 29I do not mean your own conscience, but the other person’s. For why is my freedom judged#Lk 6:37 by another person’s conscience? 30If I partake with thanksgiving,#Mk 8:6; Rm 1:8 why am I criticized because of something for which I give thanks?
31So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.#Mk 10:37; Lk 9:32; Jn 17:24; 2Co 3:18; 2Pt 3:18 32Give no offense#Ac 24:16; Php 1:10 to Jews or Greeks or the church of God, 33just as I also try to please everyone in everything, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of many,#Mk 10:45 so that they may be saved.
