1 Corinthians 10 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Avoid Israel's Mistakes

1Co 10:1For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;

1Co 10:2

1Co 10:2And they all had baptism from Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

1Co 10:3

1Co 10:3And they all took the same holy food;

1Co 10:4

1Co 10:4And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

1Co 10:5

1Co 10:5But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

1Co 10:6

1Co 10:6Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.

1Co 10:7

1Co 10:7Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

1Co 10:8

1Co 10:8Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

1Co 10:9

1Co 10:9And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.

1Co 10:10

1Co 10:10And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

1Co 10:11

1Co 10:11Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

1Co 10:12

1Co 10:12So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.

1Co 10:13

1Co 10:13You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

1Co 10:14

1Co 10:14For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.

1Co 10:15

1Co 10:15What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

1Co 10:16

1Co 10:16The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

1Co 10:17

1Co 10:17Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

1Co 10:18

1Co 10:18See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?

1Co 10:19

1Co 10:19Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?

1Co 10:20

1Co 10:20What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

1Co 10:21

1Co 10:21It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

1Co 10:22

1Co 10:22Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

(cf. Psa 24:1 )

1Co 10:23

1Co 10:23We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.

1Co 10:24

1Co 10:24Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.

1Co 10:25

1Co 10:25Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

1Co 10:26

1Co 10:26For the earth is the Lord's and all things in it.

1Co 10:27

1Co 10:27If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

1Co 10:28

1Co 10:28But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

1Co 10:29

1Co 10:29Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.

1Co 10:30

1Co 10:30But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

1Co 10:31

1Co 10:31So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1Co 10:32

1Co 10:32Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.

1Co 10:33

1Co 10:33Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.
