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.
