1 Corinthians 10 (DRA)

v1

For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.

v2

And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:

v3

And did all eat the same spiritual food,

v4

And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)

v5

But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.

v6

Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.

v7

Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

v8

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

v9

Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.

v10

Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

v11

Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

v12

Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.

v13

Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.

v14

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.

v15

I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.

v16

The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?

v17

For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.

v18

Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?

v19

What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?

v20

But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.

v21

You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.

v22

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.

v23

All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.

v24

Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.

v25

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.

v26

The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

v27

If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.

v28

But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for his sake that told it, and for conscience’ sake.

v29

Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?

v30

If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?

v31

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.

v32

Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:

v33

As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.
