1 Corinthians 10

Warning Against Idolatry
1#Ex 14:29; Ps 66:6I would not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3#Ex 16:35; Dt 8:3all ate the same spiritual food; 4#Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5#Heb 3:17; Jude 1:5But with many of them God was not well pleased, and they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6#Nu 11:4; 1Co 10:11Now these things were our examples to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted. 7#Ex 32:19; 32:4Neither be idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to revel.”#Ex 32:6. 8#Nu 25:1–9; 1Co 6:18Neither let us commit sexual immorality as some of them committed, when twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9#Nu 21:5–6; Ex 17:2Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted and were destroyed by serpents. 10#Ex 12:23; Nu 16:41Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11#Ro 13:11Now all these things happened to them for examples. They are written as an admonition to us, upon whom the end of the ages has come. 12#Ro 11:20Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall. 13#1Co 1:9; 2Pe 2:9No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, and He will not permit you to be tempted above what you can endure, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
14#1Co 10:7; 1Jn 5:21So, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15#1Co 8:1; 1Th 5:21I speak as to wise men. Judge for yourselves what I say. 16#Mt 26:26–28; Ac 2:42The 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#Ro 12:5; 1Co 12:12For we, being many, are one bread and one body, for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18#Ro 4:1Consider Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19#1Co 8:4What am I saying then, that the idol is anything or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? 20#Rev 9:20But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22#Dt 32:21; 32:16Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
Do All to the Glory of God
23#1Co 6:12; 8:9“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things edify. 24#1Co 10:33; 13:5Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.
25#1Co 8:7Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no question for the sake of conscience, 26#Ps 24:1; 50:12for “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”#Ps 24:1.
27If any of those who do not believe invite you to a feast, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for the sake of conscience. 28But if anyone says to you, “This was offered in sacrifice to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of him that mentioned it and for the sake of conscience, for “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”#Ps 24:1. 29#1Co 9:19Conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? 30#Ro 14:6; 1Ti 4:3–4If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?
31#Col 3:17; 1Pe 4:11Therefore, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God. 32#Ac 20:28; 1Co 8:13; Ro 14:13Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God, 33#1Co 10:24just as I try to please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

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.
