1 Corinthians 10 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Avoid Israel’s Mistakes

For I do not want^G2309 you to be unaware^G50, brothers^G80 and sisters, that our fathers^G3962 were all^G3956 under^G5259 the cloud^G3507 and they all^G3956 passed^G1330 through^G1330 the sea^G2281;

1Co 10:2

1Co 10:2and they all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

1Co 10:3

1Co 10:3and they all ate the same spiritual food,

1Co 10:4

1Co 10:4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was [fn]Christ.

1Co 10:5

1Co 10:5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for their dead bodies were spread out in the wilderness.

1Co 10:6

Now^G1161 these^G3778 things^G3778 happened^G1096 as examples^G5179 for us, so^G1519 that^G1519 we would not crave^G1510^G1938 evil^G2556 things^G2556 as they indeed^G2548 craved^G1937 them.

1Co 10:7

1Co 10:7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND TO DRINK, AND ROSE UP TO PLAY.”

1Co 10:8

1Co 10:8Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as some of them [fn]did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

1Co 10:9

1Co 10:9Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as some of them [fn]did, and were killed by the snakes.

1Co 10:10

1Co 10:10Nor grumble, as some of them [fn]did, and were killed by the destroyer.

1Co 10:11

1Co 10:11Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

1Co 10:12

1Co 10:12Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall.

1Co 10:13

1Co 10:13No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, [fn]so He 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.

1Co 10:14

Therefore^G1355, my beloved^G27, flee^G5343 from idolatry^G1495.

1Co 10:15

1Co 10:15I speak as to wise people; you then, judge what I say.

1Co 10:16

1Co 10:16Is the cup of blessing which we bless not a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is the bread which we break not a sharing in the body of Christ?

1Co 10:17

1Co 10:17Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.

1Co 10:18

1Co 10:18Look at [fn]the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners in the altar?

1Co 10:19

1Co 10:19What do I mean then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is [fn]anything?

1Co 10:20

1Co 10:20No, but I say that things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons.

1Co 10:21

1Co 10:21You 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.

1Co 10:22

1Co 10:22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?

(cf. Psa 24:1 )

1Co 10:23

All^G3956 things^G3956 are permitted^G1832, but not all^G3956 things^G3956 are^G4851 of^G4851 benefit^G4851. All^G3956 things^G3956 are permitted^G1832, but not all^G3956 things^G3956 [fn]build^G3618 people up^G3618.

1Co 10:24

1Co 10:24No one is to seek his own advantage, but rather that of his [fn]neighbor.

1Co 10:25

1Co 10:25Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions, for the sake of conscience;

1Co 10:26

1Co 10:26FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AND [fn]ALL IT CONTAINS.

1Co 10:27

1Co 10:27If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions, for the sake of conscience.

1Co 10:28

1Co 10:28But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience.

1Co 10:29

1Co 10:29Now by “conscience” I do not mean your own, but the other person’s; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?

1Co 10:30

1Co 10:30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered about that for which I give thanks?

1Co 10:31

Therefore^G3767, whether^G1535 you eat^G2068 or^G1535 drink^G4095, or^G1535 whatever^G5100 you do^G4160, do^G4160 all^G3956 things^G3956 for the glory^G1391 of God^G2316.

1Co 10:32

1Co 10:32Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or the church of God;

1Co 10:33

1Co 10:33just as I also please everyone in all things, not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of the many, so that they may be saved.
