1Moreover[G1161], brethren[G80], I would[G2309]not[G3756]that[G3754]ye[G5209] should be ignorant[G50], how that[G3754]all[G3956]our[G2257]fathers[G3962]were[G2258]under[G5259] the cloud[G3507], and[G2532]all[G3956]passed[G1330]through[G1223] the sea[G2281];
2And[G2532]were[G907]all[G3956]baptized[G907]unto[G1519]Moses[G3475]in[G1722] the cloud[G3507]and[G2532]in[G1722] the sea[G2281];
3And[G2532]did[G5315]all[G3956]eat[G5315] the same[G846]spiritual[G4152]meat[G1033];
4And[G2532]did[G4095]all[G3956]drink[G4095] the same[G846]spiritual[G4152]drink[G4188]: for[G1063] they drank[G4095]of[G1537] that spiritual[G4152]Rock[G4073] that followed them[G190]: and[G1161] that Rock[G4073]was[G2258]Christ[G5547].
5But[G235]with[G1722]many[G4119] of them[G846]God[G2316]was[G2106]not[G3756] well pleased[G2106]: for[G1063] they were overthrown[G2693]in[G1722] the wilderness[G2048].
6Now[G1161] these things[G5023]were[G1096]our[G2257]examples[G5179], to the intent[G1519]we[G2248]should[G1511]not[G3361] lust after evil[G2556]things[G1938], as[G2531] they also[G2548]lusted[G1937].
7Neither[G3366] be ye[G1096]idolaters[G1496], as[G2531] were some[G5100] of them[G846]; as[G5613] it is written[G1125], The people[G2992] sat down[G2523] to eat[G5315]and[G2532]drink[G4095], and[G2532] rose up[G450] to play[G3815].
8Neither[G3366] let us commit fornication[G4203], as[G2531]some[G5100] of them[G846]committed[G4203], and[G2532]fell[G4098]in[G1722]one[G3391]day[G2250]three[G5140]and[G2532]twenty[G1501]thousand[G5505].
9Neither[G3366] let us tempt[G1598]Christ[G5547], as[G2531]some[G5100]of[G5259]them[G846]also[G2532]tempted[G3985], and[G2532] were destroyed[G622]of[G5259]serpents[G3789].
10Neither[G3366] murmur ye[G1111], as[G2531]some[G5100]of[G5259]them[G846]also[G2532]murmured[G1111], and[G2532] were destroyed[G622]of[G5259] the destroyer[G3644].
11Now[G1161]all[G3956] these things[G5023]happened[G4819] unto them[G1565]for[G4314]ensamples[G5179]: and[G1161] they are written[G1125]for[G4314]our[G2257]admonition[G3559], upon[G1519]whom[G3739] the ends[G5056] of the world[G165] are come[G2658].
12Wherefore[G5620]let[G991] him that thinketh[G1380] he standeth[G2476] take heed[G991]lest[G3361] he fall[G4098].
13
There hath[G2983]no[G3756]temptation[G3986]taken[G2983]you[G5209]but[G1508] such as is common to man[G442]: but[G1161]God[G2316] is faithful[G4103], who[G3739]will[G1439]not[G3756]suffer[G1439]you[G5209] to be tempted[G3985]above[G5228]that[G3739]ye[G5209] are able[G1410]; but[G235]will[G4160]with[G4862] the temptation[G3986]also[G2532]make[G4160] a way to escape[G1545], that[G3739]ye[G5209] may be able[G1410] to bear[G5297] it.
15
I speak[G3004]as[G5613] to wise men[G5429]; judge[G2919]ye[G5210]what[G3739] I say[G5346].
16
The cup[G4221] of blessing[G2129]which[G3739] we bless[G2127], is it[G2076]not[G3780] the communion[G2842] of the blood[G129] of Christ?[G5547] The bread[G740]which[G3739] we break[G2806], is it[G2076]not[G3780] the communion[G2842] of the body[G4983] of Christ?[G5547]
17For[G3754]we[G2070] being many[G4183]are[G2070]one[G1520]bread[G740], and one[G1520]body[G4983]: for[G1063]we[G2070]are[G3348]all[G3956]partakers[G3348]of[G1537] that one[G1520]bread[G740].
18Behold[G991]Israel[G2474]after[G2596] the flesh[G4561]: are[G1526]not[G3780]they[G1526] which eat[G2068] of the sacrifices[G2378]partakers[G2844] of the altar?[G2379]
19What[G5101] say I[G5346]then?[G3767]that[G3754] the idol[G1497]is[G2076] any thing[G5100], or[G2228]that[G3754] which is[G2076] offered in sacrifice to idols[G1494]is[G2076] any thing?[G5100]
20But[G235] I say, that[G3754] the things which[G3739] the Gentiles[G1484]sacrifice[G2380], they sacrifice[G2380] to devils[G1140], and[G2532]not[G3756] to God[G2316]: and[G1161] I would[G2309]not[G3756]that[G3754]ye[G5209] should have[G1096]fellowship[G2844] with devils[G1140].
21
Ye cannot[G3756]drink[G4095] the cup[G4221] of the Lord[G2962], and[G2532] the cup[G4221] of devils[G1140]: ye cannot[G1410] be partakers[G3348] of the Lord[G2962]'s table[G5132], and[G2532] of the table[G5132] of devils[G1140].
22
Do we[G2070]provoke[G2228] the Lord[G2962] to jealousy?[G3863] are we[G2070] stronger than[G3361]he?[G846]
23
All things[G3956]are[G4851]lawful[G1832] for me[G3427], but[G235] all things[G3956]are[G4851]not[G3756]expedient[G4851]: all things[G3956]are[G4851]lawful[G1832] for me[G3427], but[G235] all things[G3956]edify[G3618]not[G3756].
24Let[G2212] no man[G3367]seek[G2212] his own[G1438], but[G235] every man[G1538] another's wealth.
25Whatsoever[G3956] is sold[G4453]in[G1722] the shambles[G3111], that eat[G2068], asking[G350]no[G3367]question[G350]for[G1223]conscience[G4893]sake[G1223]:
26For[G1063] the earth[G1093] is the Lord's, and[G2532] the fulness[G4138]thereof[G846].
27
If any[G1536] of them that believe not[G571]bid[G2564]you[G5209] to a feast, and[G2532] ye be disposed[G2309] to go[G4198]; whatsoever[G3956] is set before[G3908]you[G5213], eat[G2068], asking[G350]no[G3367]question[G350]for[G1223]conscience[G4893]sake[G1223].
28But[G1161]if[G1437] any man[G5100]say[G2036] unto you[G5213], This[G5124]is[G2076] offered in sacrifice unto idols[G1494], eat[G2068]not[G3361]for[G1223] his sake[G1565] that shewed it[G3377], and[G2532]for[G1063] conscience sake[G4893]: for[G1063] the earth[G1093]is[G2076] the Lord's, and[G2532] the fulness[G4138]thereof[G846]:
29Conscience[G4893], I say[G3004], not[G3780] thine own[G1438], but[G235]of[G5259] the other[G2087]: for[G1063]why[G2444]is[G2919]my[G3450]liberty[G1657]judged[G2919]of[G5259]another[G243] man's conscience?[G4893]
30For[G1161]if[G1487]I[G1473] by grace[G5485] be a partaker[G3348], why[G5101] am I[G1473] evil spoken of[G987]for[G1161]that[G5228]for[G1161]which[G3739]I[G1473] give thanks?[G2168]
31Whether[G1535]therefore[G3767] ye eat[G2068], or[G1535]drink[G4095], or[G1535]whatsoever[G5100] ye do[G4160], do[G4160]all[G3956]to[G1519] the glory[G1391] of God[G2316].
32Give[G1096] none offence[G677], neither[G2532] to the Jews[G2453], nor[G2532] to the Gentiles[G1672], nor[G2532] to the church[G1577] of God[G2316]:
33
Even as[G2531]I[G2504]please[G700]all[G3956] men in all[G3956] things, not[G3361]seeking[G2212] mine own[G1683]profit[G4851], but[G235] the profit[G3588] of many[G4183], that[G2443] they may be saved[G4982].
