1Corinthians 10
10For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.G1161G80G2309G3756G5209G50G3754G3956G2257G3962G2258G5259G3507G2532G3956G1330G1223G22812They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.G2532G907G3956G907G1519G3475G1722G3507G2532G1722G22813They all ate the same spiritual foodG2532G5315G3956G5315G846G4152G10334and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.G2532G4095G3956G4095G846G4152G4188G1063G4095G1537G4152G4073G190G1161G4073G2258G55475Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.G235G1722G4119G846G2316G2106G3756G2106G1063G2693G1722G20486Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.G1161G5023G1096G2257G5179G1519G2248G1511G3361G2556G1938G2531G2548G19377Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry."G3366G1096G1496G2531G5100G846G5613G1125G2992G2523G5315G2532G4095G2532G450G38158We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.G3366G4203G2531G5100G846G4203G2532G4098G1722G3391G2250G5140G1501G55059We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.G3366G1598G5547G2531G5100G846G2532G3985G2532G622G5259G378910And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.G3366G1111G2531G5100G846G2532G1111G2532G622G5259G364411These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.G1161G3956G5023G4819G1565G5179G1161G1125G4314G2257G3559G1519G3739G5056G165G265812So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!G5620G991G1380G2476G991G3361G409813No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to us all. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.G2983G3756G3986G2983G5209G1508G442G1161G2316G4103G3739G1439G3756G1439G5209G3985G5228G3739G1410G235G4160G4862G3986G2532G4160G1545G5209G1410G529714Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.G1355G3450G27G5343G575G149515I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.G3004G5613G5429G2919G5210G3739G534616Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?G4221G2129G3739G2127G2076G3780G2842G129G5547G740G3739G2806G2076G3780G2842G4983G554717Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.G3754G2070G4183G2070G1520G740G1520G4983G1063G3348G3956G3348G1537G1520G74018Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?G991G2474G2596G4561G1526G3780G1526G2068G2378G2844G237919Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?G5101G5346G3767G3754G1497G2076G5100G2228G3754G1494G2076G510020No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.G235G3754G3739G1484G2380G2380G1140G2532G3756G2316G1161G2309G3756G5209G1096G2844G114021You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.G3756G1410G4095G4221G2962G2532G4221G1140G3756G1410G3348G2962G5132G2532G5132G114022Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?G2228G3863G2962G3863G2070G3361G2478G84623"I have the right to do anything," you say—but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"—but not everything is constructive.G3956G1832G3427G235G3956G4851G3756G4851G3956G1832G3427G235G3956G3618G375624No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.G2212G3367G2212G1438G235G1538G208725Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,G3956G4453G1722G3111G2068G350G3367G350G1223G4893G122326for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."G1063G1093G2962G2532G4138G84627If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.G1161G1536G571G2564G5209G2532G2309G4198G3956G3908G5213G2068G350G3367G350G1223G4893G122328But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.G1161G1437G5100G2036G5213G5124G2076G1494G2068G3361G1223G1565G3377G2532G4893G1063G1093G2962G2532G4138G84629I am referring to the other person's conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?G4893G1161G3004G3780G1438G235G2087G1063G2444G2919G3450G1657G2919G5259G243G489330If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?G1161G1487G1473G5485G3348G5101G987G5228G3739G1473G216831So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.G1535G3767G2068G1535G4095G1535G5100G4160G4160G3956G1519G1391G231632Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—G1096G677G2532G2453G2532G1672G2532G1577G231633even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.G2531G2504G700G3956G3956G3361G2212G1683G4851G235G3588G4183G2443G4982
