Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014

Pildele din Vechiul Testament

10 Fraţilor, nu vreau să nu ştiţi că părinţii noştri toţi au fost sub nor(A), toţi au trecut prin mare(B), 2 toţi au fost botezaţi în nor şi în mare, pentru Moise; 3 toţi au mâncat aceeaşi mâncare(C) duhovnicească 4 şi toţi au băut aceeaşi băutură(D) duhovnicească, pentru că beau dintr-o stâncă duhovnicească ce venea după ei, şi stânca era Hristos. 5 Totuşi cei mai mulţi dintre ei n-au fost plăcuţi lui Dumnezeu, căci au(E) pierit în pustie. 6 Şi aceste lucruri s-au întâmplat ca să ne slujească nouă drept pilde, pentru ca să nu poftim după lucruri rele, cum(F) au poftit ei. 7 Să(G) nu fiţi închinători la idoli, ca unii dintre ei, după cum este scris: „Poporul(H) a şezut să mănânce şi să bea şi s-au sculat să joace”. 8 Să(I) nu curvim, cum au făcut unii din ei, aşa că într-o singură zi au(J) căzut douăzeci şi trei de mii. 9 Să nu ispitim pe Domnul, cum L-au ispitit unii(K) din ei, care au(L) pierit prin şerpi. 10 Să nu cârtiţi, cum au cârtit unii(M) din ei, care au(N) fost nimiciţi de Nimicitorul(O). 11 Aceste lucruri li s-au întâmplat ca să ne slujească drept pilde şi au(P) fost scrise pentru învăţătura noastră, peste care(Q) au venit sfârşiturile veacurilor. 12 Astfel dar, cine(R) crede că stă în picioare să ia seama să nu cadă. 13 Nu v-a ajuns nicio ispită care să nu fi fost potrivită cu puterea omenească. Şi Dumnezeu(S), care este credincios, nu(T) va îngădui să fiţi ispitiţi peste puterile voastre, ci, împreună cu ispita, a pregătit(U) şi mijlocul să ieşiţi din ea, ca s-o puteţi răbda.

Despre cina Domnului

14 De aceea, preaiubiţii mei, fugiţi(V) de închinarea la idoli. 15 Vă vorbesc ca unor oameni cu judecată(W): judecaţi voi singuri ce spun. 16 Paharul(X) binecuvântat, pe care-l binecuvântăm, nu este el împărtăşirea cu sângele lui Hristos? Pâinea(Y) pe care o frângem nu este ea împărtăşirea cu trupul lui Hristos? 17 Având în vedere că este o pâine, noi(Z), care suntem mulţi, suntem un trup, căci toţi luăm o parte din aceeaşi pâine. 18 Uitaţi-vă la Israelul(AA) după trup(AB): cei ce mănâncă jertfele nu sunt ei(AC) în împărtăşire cu altarul? 19 Deci ce zic eu? Că(AD) un lucru jertfit idolilor este ceva? Sau că un idol este ceva? 20 Dimpotrivă, eu zic că ce jertfesc(AE) neamurile, jertfesc dracilor, şi nu lui Dumnezeu. Şi eu nu vreau ca voi să fiţi în împărtăşire cu dracii. 21 Nu(AF) puteţi bea paharul Domnului şi paharul(AG) dracilor; nu puteţi lua parte la masa Domnului şi la masa dracilor. 22 Sau(AH) vrem să întărâtăm pe Domnul la gelozie? Suntem(AI) noi mai tari decât El?

Cugetul nostru şi al altuia

23 Toate(AJ) lucrurile sunt îngăduite, dar nu toate sunt de folos. Toate lucrurile sunt îngăduite, dar nu toate zidesc. 24 Nimeni(AK) să nu-şi caute folosul lui, ci fiecare să caute folosul altuia. 25 Să mâncaţi din tot ce(AL) se vinde pe piaţă, fără să cercetaţi ceva din pricina cugetului. 26 Căci „al(AM) Domnului este pământul şi tot ce cuprinde el”. 27 Dacă vă pofteşte un necredincios la o masă şi voiţi să vă duceţi, să mâncaţi din tot ce(AN) vă pune înainte, fără să cercetaţi ceva din pricina cugetului. 28 Dar, dacă vă spune cineva: „Lucrul acesta a fost jertfit idolilor”, să nu mâncaţi, din pricina celui ce v-a înştiinţat şi din pricina(AO) cugetului, căci „al(AP) Domnului este pământul şi tot ce cuprinde el”. 29 Vorbesc aici nu de cugetul vostru, ci de cugetul altuia. Căci de ce(AQ) să fie judecată slobozenia mea de cugetul altuia? 30 Dacă mănânc aducând mulţumiri, de ce să fiu vorbit de rău pentru un lucru pentru(AR) care mulţumesc? 31 Deci(AS), fie că mâncaţi, fie că beţi, fie că faceţi altceva, să faceţi totul pentru slava lui Dumnezeu. 32 Să nu(AT) fiţi pricină de păcătuire nici pentru iudei, nici pentru greci, nici pentru Biserica(AU) lui Dumnezeu. 33 După cum mă silesc şi eu(AV) în toate lucrurile să plac tuturor, căutând nu(AW) folosul meu, ci al celor mai mulţi, ca să fie mântuiţi.

1 Corinthians 10
New English Translation

Learning from Israel’s Failures

10 For I do not want you to be unaware,[a] brothers and sisters,[b] that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized[c] into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were all drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. 5 But God was not pleased with most of them, for they were cut down in the wilderness. 6 These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did. 7 So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.”[d] 8 And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and 23,000 died in a single day.[e] 9 And let us not put Christ[f] to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by snakes.[g] 10 And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.[h] 11 These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 So let the one who thinks he is standing be careful that he does not fall. 13 No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others.[i] And God is faithful: He[j] will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear,[k] but with the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it.

Avoid Idol Feasts

14 So then, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15 I am speaking to thoughtful people. Consider what I say. 16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread. 18 Look at the people of Israel.[l] Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? 19 Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything? 20 No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice[m] is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22 Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?[n]

Live to Glorify God

23 “Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,”[o] but not everything builds others up.[p] 24 Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person. 25 Eat anything that is sold in the marketplace without questions of conscience, 26 for the earth and its abundance are the Lord’s.[q] 27 If an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is served without asking questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This is from a sacrifice,” do not eat, because of the one who told you and because of conscience[r]— 29 I do not mean yours but the other person’s. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the food[s] that I give thanks for? 31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. 32 Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefit[t] of many, so that they may be saved.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Corinthians 10:1 tn Grk “ignorant.”
  2. 1 Corinthians 10:1 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
  3. 1 Corinthians 10:2 tc ‡ A number of witnesses, some of them significant, have the passive ἐβαπτίσθησαν (ebaptisthēsan, “were baptized”) instead of the middle ἐβαπτίσαντο (ebaptisanto, “baptized [themselves]”) in v. 2 (so א A C D F G Ψ 33 al latt). However, the middle is not without its representation (P46c B 1739 1881 M Or; the original hand of P46 read the imperfect middle ἐβαπτίζοντο [ebaptizonto]). The passive looks like a motivated reading in that it is clearer and conforms to typical Pauline usage (his thirteen instances of the verb are all either active or passive). B. M. Metzger, in representing a minority opinion of the UBS Committee, suggests that the middle would have been appropriate for Jewish baptism in which the convert baptizes himself (TCGNT 493). But this assumes that the middle is a direct middle, a rare occurrence in the NT (and never elsewhere with this verb). Further, it is not really baptism that is in view in v. 2, but passing through the Red Sea (thus, a metaphorical use). Although the present editors agree with the minority’s resultant reading, it is better to take the middle as causative/permissive and the scribes as changing it to a passive for clarity’s sake. Translational differences are minimal, though some exegetical implications are involved (see ExSyn 427).
  4. 1 Corinthians 10:7 tn The term “play” may refer to idolatrous, sexual play here, although that is determined by the context rather than the meaning of the word itself (cf. BDAG 750 s.v. παίζω).sn A quotation from Exod 32:6.
  5. 1 Corinthians 10:8 sn This incident is recorded in Num 25:1-9.
  6. 1 Corinthians 10:9 tc Χριστόν (Christon, “Christ”) is attested in the majority of mss, including many significant witnesses of the Alexandrian (P46 1739 1881) and Western (D F G) text-forms, and other mss and versions (Ψ latt sy co). On the other hand, some of the significant Alexandrian witnesses have κύριον (kurion, “Lord”; א B C P 33 104 1175 al). A few mss (A 81) have θεόν (theon, “God”). The nomina sacra for these readings are quite similar (cMn, kMn, and qMn respectively), so one might be able to account for the different readings by way of confusion. On closer examination, the variants appear to be intentional changes. Alexandrian scribes replaced the highly specific term “Christ” with the less specific terms “Lord” and “God” because in the context it seems to be anachronistic to speak of the exodus generation putting Christ to the test. If the original had been “Lord,” it seems unlikely that a scribe would have willingly created a difficulty by substituting the more specific “Christ.” Moreover, even if not motivated by a tendency to overcorrect, a scribe might be likely to assimilate the word “Christ” to “Lord” in conformity with Deut 6:16 or other passages. The evidence from the early church regarding the reading of this verse is rather compelling in favor of “Christ.” Marcion, a second-century, anti-Jewish heretic, would naturally have opposed any reference to Christ in historical involvement with Israel, because he thought of the Creator God of the OT as inherently evil. In spite of this strong prejudice, though, Marcion read a text with “Christ.” Other early church writers attest to the presence of the word “Christ,” including Clement of Alexandria and Origen. What is more, the synod of Antioch in a.d. 268 used the reading “Christ” as evidence of the preexistence of Christ when it condemned Paul of Samosata. (See G. Zuntz, The Text of the Epistles, 126-27; TCGNT 494; C. D. Osburn, “The Text of 1 Corinthians 10:9, ” New Testament Textual Criticism: Its Significance for Exegesis, 201-11; contra A. Robertson and A. Plummer, First Corinthians [ICC], 205-6.) Since “Christ” is the more difficult reading on all accounts, it is almost certainly the reading that gave rise to the others. In addition, “Christ” is consistent with Paul’s style in this passage (cf. 10:4, a text in which Marcion also reads “Christ”). This text is also christologically significant, since the reading “Christ” makes an explicit claim to the preexistence of Christ. (The textual critic faces a similar dilemma in Jude 5. In a similar exodus context, some of the more significant Alexandrian mss [A B 33 81] and the Vulgate read “Jesus” in place of “Lord.” Two of those mss [A 81] are the same mss that have “God” instead of “Christ” in 1 Cor 10:9. See the tc notes on Jude 5 for more information.) In sum, “Christ” has all the earmarks of authenticity here and should be considered the autographic reading.
  7. 1 Corinthians 10:9 sn This incident is recorded in Num 21:5-9.
  8. 1 Corinthians 10:10 tn Grk “by the destroyer.” BDAG 703 s.v. ὀλοθρευτῆς mentions the corresponding OT references and notes, “the one meant is the destroying angel as the one who carries out the divine sentence of punishment, or perh. Satan.”sn This incident is recorded in Num 16:41-50.
  9. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tn Grk “except a human one” or “except one common to humanity.”
  10. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tn Grk “God is faithful who.” The relative pronoun was changed to a personal pronoun in the translation for clarity.
  11. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tn The words “to bear” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. They have been supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.
  12. 1 Corinthians 10:18 tn Grk “Israel according to (the) flesh.”
  13. 1 Corinthians 10:20 tn Grk “what they sacrifice”; the referent (the pagans) is clear from the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  14. 1 Corinthians 10:22 tn The question in Greek expects a negative answer (“We are not stronger than he is, are we?”).
  15. 1 Corinthians 10:23 sn “Everything is lawful.” Here again Paul cites certain slogans the Corinthians used to justify their behavior (cf. 6:12-13; 7:1; 8:1, 4). Paul agrees with the slogans in part, but corrects them to show how the Corinthians have misused these ideas.
  16. 1 Corinthians 10:23 tn Grk “builds up.” The object “others” is not expressed but is implied, as v. 24 shows. Paul picks up a theme he introduced at the start of this section of the letter (8:1).
  17. 1 Corinthians 10:26 sn A quotation from Ps 24:1; an allusion to Pss 50:12; 89:11.
  18. 1 Corinthians 10:28 tc The Byzantine text-form and a few other witnesses (Hc Ψ M) essentially duplicate v. 26 at the end of this verse (with γάρ [gar, “for”] in second instead of third position), which itself is a quotation from Ps 24:1 (23:1 LXX). Not only is there a vast number of early, significant, and diverse witnesses that lack this extra material (א A B C* D F G H* P 33 81 365 630 1175 1739 1881 2464 latt co), but the quotation seems out of place at this point in the discourse for Paul is here discussing reasons not to partake of food that has been sacrificed to idols. Perhaps scribes felt that since food is from the Lord, to eat meat sacrificed to idols contradicts that belief. Either way, the better witnesses lack the clause which, had it been authentic to v. 28, would have not occasioned such a widespread excision. The evidence is thus compelling for the shorter reading.
  19. 1 Corinthians 10:30 tn Grk “about that for which”; the referent (the food) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  20. 1 Corinthians 10:33 tn Although the Greek word translated “benefit” occurs only once in this verse, the Greek article occurs twice. This indicates an implied repetition of the term, which has been included twice in the translation for the sake of clarity and English style.

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.
