1 Moreover{G1161}, brethren{G80}, I would{G2309}{(G5719)} not{G3756} that ye{G5209} should be ignorant{G50}{(G5721)}, how that{G3754} all{G3956} our{G2257} fathers{G3962} were{G2258}{(G5713)} under{G5259} the cloud{G3507}, and{G2532} all{G3956} passed{G1330}{(G5627)} through{G1223} the sea{G2281};

2 And{G2532} were{G907} all{G3956} baptized{G907}{(G5668)} unto{G1519} Moses{G3475} in{G1722} the cloud{G3507} and{G2532} in{G1722} the sea{G2281};

3 And{G2532} did{G5315} all{G3956} eat{G5315}{(G5627)} the same{G846} spiritual{G4152} meat{G1033};

4 And{G2532} did{G4095} all{G3956} drink{G4095}{(G5627)} the same{G846} spiritual{G4152} drink{G4188}: for{G1063} they drank{G4095}{(G5707)} of{G1537} that spiritual{G4152} Rock{G4073} that followed them{G190}{(G5723)}: and{G1161} that Rock{G4073} was{G2258}{(G5713)} Christ{G5547}.

5 But{G235} with{G1722} many{G4119} of them{G846} God{G2316} was{G2106} not{G3756} well pleased{G2106}{(G5656)}: for{G1063} they were overthrown{G2693}{(G5681)} in{G1722} the wilderness{G2048}.

6 Now{G1161} these things{G5023} were{G1096}{(G5675)} our{G2257} examples{G5179}, to the intent{G1519} we{G2248} should{G1511}{(G5750)} not{G3361} lust after evil{G2556} things{G1938}, as{G2531} they also{G2548} lusted{G1937}{(G5656)}.

7 Neither{G3366} be ye{G1096}{(G5737)} idolaters{G1496}, as{G2531} were some{G5100} of them{G846}; as{G5613} it is written{G1125}{(G5769)}, The people{G2992} sat down{G2523}{(G5656)} to eat{G5315}{(G5629)} and{G2532} drink{G4095}{(G5629)}, and{G2532} rose up{G450}{(G5656)} to play{G3815}{(G5721)}.

8 Neither{G3366} let us commit fornication{G4203}{(G5725)}, as{G2531} some{G5100} of them{G846} committed{G4203}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} fell{G4098}{(G5627)} in{G1722} one{G3391} day{G2250} three{G5140} and twenty{G1501} thousand{G5505}.

9 Neither{G3366} let us tempt{G1598}{(G5725)} Christ{G5547}, as{G2531} some{G5100} of them{G846} also{G2532} tempted{G3985}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} were destroyed{G622}{(G5639)} of{G5259} serpents{G3789}.

10 Neither{G3366} murmur ye{G1111}{(G5720)}, as{G2531} some{G5100} of them{G846} also{G2532} murmured{G1111}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} were destroyed{G622}{(G5639)} of{G5259} the destroyer{G3644}.

11 Now{G1161} all{G3956} these things{G5023} happened{G4819}{(G5707)} unto them{G1565} for ensamples{G5179}: and{G1161} they are written{G1125}{(G5648)} for{G4314} our{G2257} admonition{G3559}, upon{G1519} whom{G3739} the ends{G5056} of the world{G165} are come{G2658}{(G5656)}.

12 Wherefore{G5620} let{G991} him that thinketh{G1380}{(G5723)} he standeth{G2476}{(G5760)} take heed{G991}{(G5720)} lest{G3361} he fall{G4098}{(G5632)}.

13 There hath{G2983} no{G3756} temptation{G3986} taken{G2983}{(G5758)} 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}{(G5692)} you{G5209} to be tempted{G3985}{(G5683)} above{G5228} that{G3739} ye are able{G1410}{(G5736)}; but{G235} will{G4160} with{G4862} the temptation{G3986} also{G2532} make{G4160}{(G5692)} a way to escape{G1545}, that ye{G5209} may be able{G1410}{(G5738)} to bear{G5297}{(G5629)} it.

14 Wherefore{G1355}, my{G3450} dearly beloved{G27}, flee{G5343}{(G5720)} from{G575} idolatry{G1495}.

15 I speak{G3004}{(G5719)} as{G5613} to wise men{G5429}; judge{G2919}{(G5657)} ye{G5210} what{G3739} I say{G5346}{(G5748)}.

16 The cup{G4221} of blessing{G2129} which{G3739} we bless{G2127}{(G5719)}, is it{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3780} the communion{G2842} of the blood{G129} of Christ{G5547}? The bread{G740} which{G3739} we break{G2806}{(G5719)}, is it{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3780} the communion{G2842} of the body{G4983} of Christ{G5547}?

17 For{G3754} we{G2070} being many{G4183} are{G2070}{(G5748)} one{G1520} bread{G740}, and one{G1520} body{G4983}: for{G1063} we are{G3348} all{G3956} partakers{G3348}{(G5719)} of{G1537} that one{G1520} bread{G740}.

18 Behold{G991}{(G5720)} Israel{G2474} after{G2596} the flesh{G4561}: are{G1526} not{G3780} they{G1526}{(G5748)} which eat{G2068}{(G5723)} of the sacrifices{G2378} partakers{G2844} of the altar{G2379}?

19 What{G5101} say I{G5346}{(G5748)} then{G3767}? that{G3754} the idol{G1497} is{G2076}{(G5748)} any thing{G5100}, or{G2228} that{G3754} which is offered in sacrifice to idols{G1494} is{G2076}{(G5748)} any thing{G5100}?

20 But{G235} I say, that{G3754} the things which{G3739} the Gentiles{G1484} sacrifice{G2380}{(G5719)}, they sacrifice{G2380}{(G5719)} to devils{G1140}, and{G2532} not{G3756} to God{G2316}: and{G1161} I would{G2309}{(G5719)} not{G3756} that ye{G5209} should have{G1096}{(G5738)} fellowship{G2844} with devils{G1140}.

21 Ye cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} drink{G4095}{(G5721)} the cup{G4221} of the Lord{G2962}, and{G2532} the cup{G4221} of devils{G1140}: ye cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} be partakers{G3348}{(G5721)} of the Lord's{G2962} table{G5132}, and{G2532} of the table{G5132} of devils{G1140}.

22 Do we provoke{G2228}{G3863} the Lord{G2962} to jealousy{G3863}{(G5719)}? are we{G2070}{(G5748)} stronger than{G3361}{G2478} he{G846}?

23 All things{G3956} are lawful{G1832}{(G5748)} for me{G3427}, but{G235} all things{G3956} are{G4851} not{G3756} expedient{G4851}{(G5719)}: all things{G3956} are lawful{G1832}{(G5748)} for me{G3427}, but{G235} all things{G3956} edify{G3618}{(G5719)} not{G3756}.

24 Let{G2212} no man{G3367} seek{G2212}{(G5720)} his own{G1438}, but{G235} every man{G1538} another's{G2087} wealth.

25 Whatsoever{G3956} is sold{G4453}{(G5746)} in{G1722} the shambles{G3111}, that eat{G2068}{(G5720)}, asking{G350} no{G3367} question{G350}{(G5723)} for{G1223} conscience{G4893} sake{G1223}:

26 For{G1063} the earth{G1093} is the Lord's{G2962}, and{G2532} the fulness{G4138} thereof{G846}.

27 {G1161} If any{G1536} of them that believe not{G571} bid{G2564}{(G5719)} you{G5209} to a feast, and{G2532} ye be disposed{G2309}{(G5719)} to go{G4198}{(G5738)}; whatsoever{G3956} is set before{G3908}{(G5746)} you{G5213}, eat{G2068}{(G5720)}, asking{G350} no{G3367} question{G350}{(G5723)} for{G1223} conscience{G4893} sake{G1223}.

28 But{G1161} if{G1437} any man{G5100} say{G2036}{(G5632)} unto you{G5213}, This{G5124} is{G2076}{(G5748)} offered in sacrifice unto idols{G1494}, eat{G2068}{(G5720)} not{G3361} for{G1223} his sake{G1565} that shewed it{G3377}{(G5660)}, and{G2532} for conscience sake{G4893}: for{G1063} the earth{G1093} is the Lord's{G2962}, and{G2532} the fulness{G4138} thereof{G846}:

29 Conscience{G4893},{G1161} I say{G3004}{(G5719)}, not{G3780} thine own{G1438}, but{G235} of the other{G2087}: for{G1063} why{G2444} is{G2919} my{G3450} liberty{G1657} judged{G2919}{(G5743)} of{G5259} another{G243} man's conscience{G4893}?

30 For{G1161} if{G1487} I{G1473} by grace{G5485} be a partaker{G3348}{(G5719)}, why{G5101} am I evil spoken of{G987}{(G5743)} for that{G5228} for which{G3739} I{G1473} give thanks{G2168}{(G5719)}?

31 Whether{G1535} therefore{G3767} ye eat{G2068}{(G5719)}, or{G1535} drink{G4095}{(G5719)}, or{G1535} whatsoever{G5100} ye do{G4160}{(G5719)}, do{G4160}{(G5720)} all{G3956} to{G1519} the glory{G1391} of God{G2316}.

32 Give{G1096}{(G5737)} 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}{(G5719)} all{G3956} men in all{G3956} things, not{G3361} seeking{G2212}{(G5723)} mine own{G1683} profit{G4851}{(G5723)}, but{G235} the profit{G3588} of many{G4183}, that{G2443} they may be saved{G4982}{(G5686)}.
