1 Corinthians 10

Warnings from Israel in the wilderness

Οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν ἀδελφοί ὅτι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν πάντες ὑπὸ τὴν νεφέλην ἦσαν καὶ πάντες διὰ τῆς θαλάσσης διῆλθον
1
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
καὶ πάντες εἰς τὸν Μωσῆν ἐβαπτίσαντο ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ καὶ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ
2
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ βρῶμα πνευματικὸν ἔφαγον
3
And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ πόμα πνευματικὸν ἔπιον ἔπινον γὰρ ἐκ πνευματικῆς ἀκολουθούσης πέτρας ἡ δὲ πέτρα ἦν ὁ Χριστός
4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
ἀλλ' οὐκ ἐν τοῖς πλείοσιν αὐτῶν εὐδόκησεν ὁ θεός κατεστρώθησαν γὰρ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ
5
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
ταῦτα δὲ τύποι ἡμῶν ἐγενήθησαν εἰς τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἐπιθυμητὰς κακῶν καθὼς κἀκεῖνοι ἐπεθύμησαν
6
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should evil not lust after things, as they also lusted.
μηδὲ εἰδωλολάτραι γίνεσθε καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ὥς γέγραπται Ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν
7
Neither 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.
μηδὲ πορνεύωμεν καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν καὶ ἔπεσον ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες.
8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
μηδὲ ἐκπειράζωμεν τὸν Χριστόν καθὼς καί τινες αὐτῶν ἐπείρασαν καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ὄφεων ἀπώλοντο
9
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
μηδὲ γογγύζετε καθὼς καί τινες αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν καὶ ἀπώλοντο ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ
10
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
ταῦτα δὲ πάντα τύποι συνέβαινον ἐκείνοις ἐγράφη δὲ πρὸς νουθεσίαν ἡμῶν εἰς οὓς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων κατήντησεν
11
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
ὥστε ὁ δοκῶν ἑστάναι βλεπέτω μὴ πέσῃ
12
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
πειρασμὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ εἴληφεν εἰ μὴ ἀνθρώπινος· πιστὸς δὲ ὁ θεός ὃς οὐκ ἐάσει ὑμᾶς πειρασθῆναι ὑπὲρ ὃ δύνασθε ἀλλὰ ποιήσει σὺν τῷ πειρασμῷ καὶ τὴν ἔκβασιν τοῦ δύνασθαι ὑμᾶς ὑπενεγκεῖν
13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

The Lord's table and the table of idols

Διόπερ ἀγαπητοί μου φεύγετε ἀπὸ τῆς εἰδωλολατρείας
14
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
ὡς φρονίμοις λέγω· κρίνατε ὑμεῖς ὅ φημι
15
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
τὸ ποτήριον τῆς εὐλογίας ὃ εὐλογοῦμεν οὐχὶ κοινωνία τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐστιν τὸν ἄρτον ὃν κλῶμεν οὐχὶ κοινωνία τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐστιν
16
The 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?
ὅτι εἷς ἄρτος ἓν σῶμα οἱ πολλοί ἐσμεν οἱ γὰρ πάντες ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἄρτου μετέχομεν
17
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
βλέπετε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ σάρκα· οὐχὶ οἱ ἐσθίοντες τὰς θυσίας κοινωνοὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου εἰσίν
18
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
τί οὖν φημι ὅτι εἴδωλον τί ἐστιν ἢ ὅτι εἰδωλόθυτον τί ἐστιν;
19
What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
ἀλλ' ὅτι ἃ θύει τά ἔθνη δαιμονίοις θύει καὶ οὐ θεῷ οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς κοινωνοὺς τῶν δαιμονίων γίνεσθαι
20
But I say, that the things which the with Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship devils.
οὐ δύνασθε ποτήριον κυρίου πίνειν καὶ ποτήριον δαιμονίων οὐ δύνασθε τραπέζης κυρίου μετέχειν καὶ τραπέζης δαιμονίων
21
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
ἢ παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν κύριον μὴ ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμεν
22
Do we provoke Lord to jealousy? the are we stronger than he?

Food offered to idols and the good of others

Πάντα μοι ἔξεστιν ἀλλ' οὐ πάντα συμφέρει· πάντα μοί ἔξεστιν ἀλλ' οὐ πάντα οἰκοδομεῖ
23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
μηδεὶς τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ζητείτω ἀλλὰ τὸ τοῦ ἑτέρου ἕκαστος
24
Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
Πᾶν τὸ ἐν μακέλλῳ πωλούμενον ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν
25
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking question no for conscience sake:
τοῦ γὰρ κυρίου ἡ γῆ καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς
26
For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
εἰ δέ τις καλεῖ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀπίστων καὶ θέλετε πορεύεσθαι πᾶν τὸ παρατιθέμενον ὑμῖν ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν
27
If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking question no for conscience sake.
ἐὰν δέ τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ Τοῦτο εἰδωλόθυτόν ἐστιν μὴ ἐσθίετε δι' ἐκεῖνον τὸν μηνύσαντα καὶ τὴν συνείδησιν· τοῦ γὰρ κυρίου ἡ γῆ καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς
28
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for sake: conscience for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
συνείδησιν δὲ λέγω οὐχὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀλλὰ τὴν τοῦ ἑτέρου ἵνα τί γὰρ ἡ ἐλευθερία μου κρίνεται ὑπὸ ἄλλης συνειδήσεως
29
Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ χάριτι μετέχω τί βλασφημοῦμαι ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εὐχαριστῶ
30
For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
εἴτε οὖν ἐσθίετε εἴτε πίνετε εἴτε τι ποιεῖτε πάντα εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ ποιεῖτε
31
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
ἀπρόσκοποι γίνεσθε καὶ Ἰουδαίοις καὶ Ἕλλησιν καὶ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ
32
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
καθὼς κἀγὼ πάντα πᾶσιν ἀρέσκω μὴ ζητῶν τὸ ἐμαυτοῦ σύμφερον ἀλλὰ τὸ τῶν πολλῶν ἵνα σωθῶσιν
33
Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
