1 Corinthians 10 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1Co 10:1And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
1Co 10:2and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea;
1Co 10:3and all the same spiritual food did eat,
1Co 10:4and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
1Co 10:5but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
1Co 10:6and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.
1Co 10:7Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, 'The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'
1Co 10:8neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
1Co 10:9neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;
1Co 10:10neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.
1Co 10:11And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,
1Co 10:12so that he who is thinking to stand -- let him observe, lest he fall.
1Co 10:13No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it.
1Co 10:14Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
1Co 10:15as to wise men I speak -- judge ye what I say:
1Co 10:16The cup of the blessing that we bless -- is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break -- is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?
1Co 10:17because one bread, one body, are we the many -- for we all of the one bread do partake.
1Co 10:18See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
1Co 10:19what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? --
1Co 10:20no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.
1Co 10:21Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons;
1Co 10:22do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?
(cf. Psa 24:1 )
1Co 10:23All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;
1Co 10:24let no one seek his own -- but each another's.
1Co 10:25Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
1Co 10:26for the Lord's is the earth, and its fulness;
1Co 10:27and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;
1Co 10:28and if any one may say to you, 'This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed it, and of the conscience, for the Lord's is the earth and its fulness:
1Co 10:29and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?
1Co 10:30and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
1Co 10:31Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
1Co 10:32become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;
1Co 10:33as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many -- that they may be saved.
