1 Corinthians 10

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not have ye ignorant of how all of our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 and all were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

3 And all ate the same spiritual meat,

4 and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

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."

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

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted -- and were destroyed by serpents.

10 Neither should ye murmur, as some of them also murmured -- and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them by way of example, and are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Therefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

14 Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

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?

17 For we, being many, are one bread and one body, for we are all partakers of that one Bread.

18 Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

19 What say I then? That the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?

20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God; and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

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.Œ

22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

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

24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wellbeing.

25 Whatsoever is sold in the meat market, that eat, asking no question for conscience' sake;

26 for, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof."

27 If any of those who do not believe bid you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question for conscience' sake.

28 But if any man say unto you, "This is offered in sacrifice unto idols," then eat it not for his sake who showed it, and for conscience' sake; for, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof."

29 I do not mean thine own conscience, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why is evil spoken of me for that for which I give thanks?

31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God,

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.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that all our ancestors [who left Egypt] were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea.

2 They were all united with Moses by baptism in the cloud and in the sea.

3 All of them ate the same spiritual food,

4 and all of them drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them, and that rock was Christ.

5 Yet, God was not pleased with most of them, so their dead bodies were scattered over the desert.

6 These things have become examples for us so that we won't desire what is evil, as they did.

7 So don't worship false gods as some of them did, as Scripture says, "The people sat down to a feast which turned into an orgy."

8 We shouldn't sin sexually as some of them did. Twenty-three thousand of them died on one day.

9 We shouldn't put the Lord to the test as some of them did. They were killed by snakes.

10 Don't complain as some of them did. The angel of death destroyed them.

11 These things happened to make them an example for others. These things were written down as a warning for us who are living in the closing days of history.

12 So, people who think they are standing firmly should be careful that they don't fall.

13 There isn't any temptation that you have experienced which is unusual for humans. God, who faithfully keeps his promises, will not allow you to be tempted beyond your power to resist. But when you are tempted, he will also give you the ability to endure the temptation as your way of escape.

14 Therefore, my dear friends, get as far away from the worship of false gods as you can.

15 I'm talking to intelligent people. Judge for yourselves what I'm saying.

16 When we bless the cup of blessing aren't we sharing in the blood of Christ? When we break the bread aren't we sharing in the body of Christ?

17 Because there is one loaf, we are one body, although we are many individuals. All of us share one loaf.

18 Look at the people of Israel from a human point of view. Don't those who eat the sacrifices share what is on the altar?

19 Do I mean that an offering made to a false god is anything, or that a false god itself is anything?

20 Hardly! What I am saying is that these sacrifices which people make are made to demons and not to God. I don't want you to be partners with demons.

21 You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons. You cannot participate at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.

22 Are we trying to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he is?

23 Someone may say, "I'm allowed to do anything," but not everything is helpful. I'm allowed to do anything, but not everything encourages growth.

24 People should be concerned about others and not just about themselves.

25 Eat anything that is sold in the market without letting your conscience trouble you.

26 Certainly, "The earth is the Lord's and everything it contains is his."

27 If an unbeliever invites you [to his house for dinner], and you wish to go, eat anything he serves you without letting your conscience trouble you.

28 However, if someone says to you, "This was sacrificed to a god," don't eat it because of the one who informed you and because of conscience.

29 I'm not talking about your conscience but the other person's conscience. Why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience?

30 If I give thanks to God for the food I eat, why am I condemned for that?

31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to the glory of God.

32 Don't cause others to stumble, whether they are Jewish, Greek, or members of God's church.

33 I try to please everyone in every way. I don't think about what would be good for me but about what would be good for many people so that they might be saved.
