Avoid
Israel's Mistakes |
|
|
 |
1 Corinthians 10:1
|
|
For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren,
that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:2
|
|
and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud
and in the sea; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:3
|
|
and all ate the same spiritual food; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:4
|
|
and all drank the same spiritual drink, for
they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was
Christ. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:5
|
|
Nevertheless, with most of them God was not
well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:6
|
|
Now these things happened as examples for us,
so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:7
|
|
Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as
it is written, "THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY." |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:8
|
|
Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did,
and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:9
|
|
Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did,
and were destroyed by the serpents. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:10
|
|
Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed
by the destroyer. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:11
|
|
Now these things happened to them as an example,
and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have
come. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:12
|
|
Therefore let him who thinks he stands take
heed that he does not fall. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:13
|
|
No temptation has overtaken you but such as
is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond
what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also,
so that you will be able to endure it. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:14
|
|
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:15
|
|
I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:16
|
|
Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a
sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the
body of Christ? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:17
|
|
Since there is one bread, we who are many are
one body; for we all partake of the one bread. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:18
|
|
Look at the nation Israel; are not those who
eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:19
|
|
What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed
to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:20
|
|
No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles
sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become
sharers in demons. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:21
|
|
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the
cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:22
|
|
Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are
not stronger than He, are we? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:23
|
|
All things are lawful, but not all things are
profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:24
|
|
Let no one seek his own good, but that of his
neighbor. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:25
|
|
Eat anything that is sold in the meat market
without asking questions for conscience' sake; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:26
|
|
FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS.
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:27
|
|
If one of the unbelievers invites you and you
want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience'
sake. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:28
|
|
But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed
to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience'
sake; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:29
|
|
I mean not your own conscience, but the other
man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:30
|
|
If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered
concerning that for which I give thanks? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:31
|
|
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever
you do, do all to the glory of God. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:32
|
|
Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks
or to the church of God; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 10:33
|
|
just as I also please all men in all things,
not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. |
