\c 10
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 1 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea.
|
|
\v 2 All were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
|
|
\v 3 and all ate the same spiritual food.
|
|
\v 4 All drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 5 But God was not well pleased with most of them, and their corpses were scattered about in the wilderness.
|
|
\v 6 Now these things were examples for us, so we would not long for evil things as they did.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. This is as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to dance with sexual desires."
|
|
\v 8 Let us not commit sexual immorality, as many of them did. Twenty-three thousand died in one day because of it.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 9 Neither let us put Christ to the test, as many of them did and were destroyed by snakes.
|
|
\v 10 Also do not grumble, as many of them did, and were destroyed by an angel of death.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 11 Now these things happened to them as examples for us. They were written for our instruction—for us on whom the end of the ages has come.
|
|
\v 12 Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall.
|
|
\v 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to all humanity. Instead, God is faithful: he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability. With the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, so that you may be able to endure it.
|
|

\s5

\p
|
|
\v 14 Therefore, my loved ones, run away from idolatry.
|
|
\v 15 I speak to you as thoughtful people, so you may judge what I say.
|
|
\v 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
|
|
\v 17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we who are many are one body. We all take of one loaf of bread together.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 18 Look at the people of Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar?
|
|
\v 19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything? Or that food sacrificed to an idol is anything?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 20 But I say about the things the Gentile pagans sacrifice, that they offer these things to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons!
|
|
\v 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot have fellowship at the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
|
|
\v 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 23 "Everything is lawful," but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is lawful," but not everything builds people up.
|
|
\v 24 No one should seek his own good. Instead, each one should seek the good of his neighbor.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 25 You may eat whatever is sold in the market, without questions of conscience.
|
|
\v 26 For "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it."
|
|
\v 27 If an unbeliever invites you to eat a meal, and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you without asking questions of conscience.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 28 But if someone says to you, "This food was from a pagan sacrifice," do not eat it. This is for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience.
|
|
\v 29 I do not mean your own conscience, but the other person's conscience. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?
|
|
\v 30 If I partake of the meal with gratitude, why am I being insulted for that for which I gave thanks?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
|
|
\v 32 Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks, or to the church of God.
|
|
\v 33 Try as I try to please all people in all things. I do not seek my benefit, but that of the many. I do this so that they may be saved.
