Old Testament Examples

10 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under (A)the cloud, all passed through (B)the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same (C)spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same (D)spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies (E)were scattered in the wilderness.

6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as (F)they also lusted. 7 (G)And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, (H)“The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” 8 (I)Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as (J)some of them did, and (K)in one day twenty-three thousand fell; 9 nor let us [a]tempt Christ, as (L)some of them also tempted, and (M)were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor complain, as (N)some of them also complained, and (O)were destroyed by (P)the destroyer. 11 Now [b]all these things happened to them as examples, and (Q)they were written for our [c]admonition, (R)upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

12 Therefore (S)let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but (T)God is faithful, (U)who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to [d]bear it.

Flee from Idolatry

14 Therefore, my beloved, (V)flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to (W)wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 (X)The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the [e]communion of the blood of Christ? (Y)The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For (Z)we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

18 Observe (AA)Israel (AB)after the flesh: (AC)Are not those who eat of the sacrifices [f]partakers of the altar? 19 What am I saying then? (AD)That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles (AE)sacrifice (AF)they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 (AG)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and (AH)the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the (AI)Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we (AJ)provoke the Lord to jealousy? (AK)Are we stronger than He?

All to the Glory of God(AL)

23 All things are lawful [g]for me, but not all things are (AM)helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things [h]edify. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one (AN)the other’s well-being.

25 (AO)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; 26 for (AP)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, (AQ)eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it (AR)for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; [i]for (AS)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” 29 “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For (AT)why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? 30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food (AU)over which I give thanks?

31 (AV)Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 (AW)Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just (AX)as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Amonestaciones contra la idolatría

10 Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis que nuestros padres todos estuvieron bajo la nube,(A) y todos pasaron el mar;(B) 2 y todos en Moisés fueron bautizados en la nube y en el mar, 3 y todos comieron el mismo alimento espiritual,(C) 4 y todos bebieron la misma bebida espiritual;(D) porque bebían de la roca espiritual que los seguía, y la roca era Cristo. 5 Pero de los más de ellos no se agradó Dios; por lo cual quedaron postrados en el desierto.(E)

6 Mas estas cosas sucedieron como ejemplos para nosotros, para que no codiciemos cosas malas, como ellos codiciaron.(F) 7 Ni seáis idólatras, como algunos de ellos, según está escrito: Se sentó el pueblo a comer y a beber, y se levantó a jugar.(G) 8 Ni forniquemos, como algunos de ellos fornicaron, y cayeron en un día veintitrés mil.(H) 9 Ni tentemos al Señor, como también algunos de ellos le tentaron, y perecieron por las serpientes.(I) 10 Ni murmuréis, como algunos de ellos murmuraron, y perecieron por el destructor.(J) 11 Y estas cosas les acontecieron como ejemplo, y están escritas para amonestarnos a nosotros, a quienes han alcanzado los fines de los siglos. 12 Así que, el que piensa estar firme, mire que no caiga. 13 No os ha sobrevenido ninguna tentación que no sea humana; pero fiel es Dios, que no os dejará ser tentados más de lo que podéis resistir, sino que dará también juntamente con la tentación la salida, para que podáis soportar.

14 Por tanto, amados míos, huid de la idolatría. 15 Como a sensatos os hablo; juzgad vosotros lo que digo. 16 La copa de bendición que bendecimos, ¿no es la comunión de la sangre de Cristo? El pan que partimos, ¿no es la comunión del cuerpo de Cristo?(K) 17 Siendo uno solo el pan, nosotros, con ser muchos, somos un cuerpo; pues todos participamos de aquel mismo pan. 18 Mirad a Israel según la carne; los que comen de los sacrificios, ¿no son partícipes del altar?(L) 19 ¿Qué digo, pues? ¿Que el ídolo es algo, o que sea algo lo que se sacrifica a los ídolos? 20 Antes digo que lo que los gentiles sacrifican, a los demonios lo sacrifican, y no a Dios;(M) y no quiero que vosotros os hagáis partícipes con los demonios. 21 No podéis beber la copa del Señor, y la copa de los demonios; no podéis participar de la mesa del Señor, y de la mesa de los demonios. 22 ¿O provocaremos a celos al Señor?(N) ¿Somos más fuertes que él?

Haced todo para la gloria de Dios

23 Todo me es lícito, pero no todo conviene;(O) todo me es lícito, pero no todo edifica. 24 Ninguno busque su propio bien, sino el del otro. 25 De todo lo que se vende en la carnicería, comed, sin preguntar nada por motivos de conciencia; 26 porque del Señor es la tierra y su plenitud.(P) 27 Si algún incrédulo os invita, y queréis ir, de todo lo que se os ponga delante comed, sin preguntar nada por motivos de conciencia. 28 Mas si alguien os dijere: Esto fue sacrificado a los ídolos; no lo comáis, por causa de aquel que lo declaró, y por motivos de conciencia; porque del Señor es la tierra y su plenitud. 29 La conciencia, digo, no la tuya, sino la del otro. Pues ¿por qué se ha de juzgar mi libertad por la conciencia de otro? 30 Y si yo con agradecimiento participo, ¿por qué he de ser censurado por aquello de que doy gracias?

31 Si, pues, coméis o bebéis, o hacéis otra cosa, hacedlo todo para la gloria de Dios. 32 No seáis tropiezo ni a judíos, ni a gentiles, ni a la iglesia de Dios; 33 como también yo en todas las cosas agrado a todos, no procurando mi propio beneficio, sino el de muchos, para que sean salvos.

1 Corinthians 10
Modern English Version

Warning Against Idolatry

10 I would not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 all ate the same spiritual food; 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with many of them God was not well pleased, and they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted. 7 Neither be idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to revel.”[a] 8 Neither let us commit sexual immorality as some of them committed, when twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted and were destroyed by serpents. 10 Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened to them for examples. They are written as an admonition to us, upon whom the end of the ages has come. 12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall. 13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, and He will not permit you to be tempted above what you can endure, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.

14 So, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men. Judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, being many, are one bread and one body, for we are all partakers of that one bread.

18 Consider Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What am I saying then, that the idol is anything or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? 20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

Do All to the Glory of God

23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things edify. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.

25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no question for the sake of conscience, 26 for “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[b]

27 If any of those who do not believe invite you to a feast, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for the sake of conscience. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered in sacrifice to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of him that mentioned it and for the sake of conscience, for “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[c] 29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?

31 Therefore, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God, 33 just as I try to please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
