1 Corinthians 10
1599 Geneva Bible
10 1 If God spared not the Jews, neither will he spare those who are of like condition, 3, 4 touching the outward signs of his grace. 14 That it is absurd, that such should be partakers of the table of the devils, who are partakers of the Lord’s Supper. 24 To have consideration of our neighbor in things indifferent.
1 Moreover, [a]brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, that all our [b]fathers were under (A)that cloud, and all passed through that (B)sea,
2 [c]And were all [d]baptized unto [e]Moses, in that cloud, and in that sea,
3 (C)And did all eat the [f]same spiritual [g]meat,
4 (D)And did all drink the same spiritual drink (for they drank of the spiritual Rock that [h]followed them: and the Rock was [i]Christ.)
5 But with many of them God was not pleased: for they were (E)overthrown in the wilderness.
6 [j]Now these things are our [k]examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things (F)as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, (G)The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one (H)day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt [l]Christ, as some of them also tempted him, and (I)were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them (J)also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things came unto them for examples, and were written to admonish us, upon whom the [m]ends of the world are come.
12 [n]Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you, but such as appertaineth to [o]man: and God is faithful, which will not suffer you to be tempted above that you be able, but will even [p]give the issue with the temptation, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 [q]I speak as unto them which have understanding: judge ye what I say.
16 The cup of [r]blessing which we bless, is it not the [s]communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For we that are many, are one bread and one body, because we all are partakers of one bread.
18 Behold Israel, which is after the [t]flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices [u]partakers of the Altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol is anything? or that that which is sacrificed to idols, is anything?
20 Nay, but that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not unto God: and I would not that ye should have [v]fellowship with the devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the [w]cup of the devils. Ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of the devils.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to anger? are we stronger than he?
23 (K)[x][y]All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
25 [z]Whatsoever is sold in the [aa]shambles, eat ye, and ask no question for conscience sake.
26 (L)For the earth is the Lord’s, and [ab]all that therein is.
27 If any of them which believe not, call you to a feast, and if ye will go, whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28 But if any man say unto you, This is sacrificed unto idols, eat it not, because of him that showed it, and for the conscience (for the earth is the Lord’s, and all that therein is.)
29 And the conscience, I say, not thine, but of that other: [ac]for why should my liberty be condemned of another man’s conscience?
30 For if I through God’s [ad]benefit be partaker, why am I evil spoken of, for that wherefore I give thanks?
31 (M)[ae]Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Grecians, nor to the Church of God:
33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they might be saved.
Footnotes
- 1 Corinthians 10:1 He setteth out that which he said, laying before them an example of the horrible judgment of God against them which had in effect the selfsame pledges, of the same adoption and salvation that we have: and yet notwithstanding when they gave themselves to idols’ feasts, perished in the wilderness, being horribly and manifoldly punished. Now, moreover and besides that these things are fitly spoken against them which frequented idols’ feasts, the same also seems to be alleged to this end and purpose, because many men are thus minded, that those things are not of such great weight, that God will be angry with them if they use them, so that they frequent Christian assemblies and be baptized, and receive the Communion, and confess Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 10:1 Paul speaketh thus in respect of the covenant, and not in respect of the persons, saving in general.
- 1 Corinthians 10:2 In effect the Sacrament of the old fathers were all one with ours, for they respected Christ only who offered himself unto them in divers shadows.
- 1 Corinthians 10:2 All of them were baptized with the outward sign, but not in deed, wherewith God cannot be charged, but they themselves.
- 1 Corinthians 10:2 Moses being their guide.
- 1 Corinthians 10:3 The same that we do.
- 1 Corinthians 10:3 Manna, which was a spiritual meat to the believers, which in faith lay hold upon Christ who is the true meat.
- 1 Corinthians 10:4 Of the river and running Rock, which followed the people.
- 1 Corinthians 10:4 Did sacramentally signify Christ, so that together with the sign, there was the thing signified, and the truth itself: for God doth not offer a bare sign, but the thing signifieth by the sign, together with it which is to be received with faith.
- 1 Corinthians 10:6 An amplifying of the example against them which are carried away with their lusts beyond the bounds which God has measured out. For this is the beginning of all evil, as of idolatry (which hath gluttony a companion unto it) fornication, rebelling against Christ, murmuring, and such like, which God punished most sharply in that old people, to the end that we which succeed them, and have a more full declaration of the will of God, might by that means take better heed.
- 1 Corinthians 10:6 Some read figures: which signified our sacraments: for circumcision was to the Jews a seal of righteousness, and to us a lively pattern of Baptism, and so in the other Sacraments.
- 1 Corinthians 10:9 To tempt Christ, is to provoke him to a combat as it were which those men do, who abuse the knowledge that he hath given them, and make it to serve for a cloak for their lusts and wickedness.
- 1 Corinthians 10:11 This our age is called the end, for it is the shutting up of all ages.
- 1 Corinthians 10:12 In conclusion, he descendeth to the Corinthians themselves, warning them that they please not themselves, but rather that they prevent the subtleties of Satan. Yet he useth an insinuation, and comforteth them, that he may not seem to make them altogether like to those wicked idolaters and contemners of Christ, which perished in the wilderness.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13 Which cometh of weakness.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13 He that would have you tempted for your profit’s sake, will give you an issue to escape out of the temptation.
- 1 Corinthians 10:15 Now returning to those idols’ feasts, that he may not seem to dally at all, first he promiseth that he will use no other reasons than such as they knew very well themselves. And he useth an induction borrowed of the agreement that is the things themselves. The holy banquets of the Christians are pledges, first of all of the community that they have with Christ, and next, one with another. The Israelites also do ratify in the sacrifices, their mutual conjunction in one selfsame religion: therefore so do the idolaters also join themselves with their idols or devils rather (for idols are nothing) in those solemn banquets, whereupon it followeth, that that table is a table of devils, and therefore you must eschew it: for you cannot be partakers of the Lord and of idols together, much less may such banquets be accounted for things indifferent. Will ye then strive with God? and if you do, think you that you shall get the upper hand?
- 1 Corinthians 10:16 Of thanksgiving: whereupon, that holy banquet was called Eucharist, that is, a thanksgiving.
- 1 Corinthians 10:16 A most effectual pledge and note of our knitting together with Christ, and ingrafting to him.
- 1 Corinthians 10:18 That is, as yet observe their ceremonies.
- 1 Corinthians 10:18 Are consenting and guilty, both of that worship and sacrifice.
- 1 Corinthians 10:20 Have anything to do with the devils, or enter into that society which is begun on the devil’s name.
- 1 Corinthians 10:21 The heathen and profane people were wont to shut up and make an end of their feasts which they kept to the honor of their gods, in offering meat offerings and drink offerings to them, with banquets and feastings.
- 1 Corinthians 10:23 Coming to another kind of things offered to idols, he repeateth that general rule, that in the use of things indifferent we ought to have consideration not of ourselves only, but of our neighbors, and therefore these are many things which of themselves are lawful, which may be evil done of us, because of offense to our neighbor.
- 1 Corinthians 10:23 See 1 Cor. 6:13.
- 1 Corinthians 10:25 An applying of the rule to the present matter: Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, you may indifferently buy it as it were at the Lord’s hand, and eat it either at home with the faithful, or being called home to the unfaithful, to wit, in a private banquet: but yet with this exception, unless any man is present which is weak, whose conscience may be offended, by setting meats offered to idols before them: for then you ought to have consideration of their weakness.
- 1 Corinthians 10:25 The flesh that was sacrificed, was used to be sold in the shambles, and the price returned to the priests.
- 1 Corinthians 10:26 All those things whereof it is full.
- 1 Corinthians 10:29 A reason: for we must take heed that our liberty be not evil spoken of, and that the benefit of God which we ought to use with thanksgiving be not changed into impiety, and that through our fault, if we choose rather to offend the conscience of the weak, than to yield a little of our liberty in a matter of no importance, and so give occasion to the weak to judge in such sort of us, and of Christian liberty. And the Apostle taketh these things upon his own person, that the Corinthians may have so much the less occasion to oppose anything against him.
- 1 Corinthians 10:30 If I may through God’s benefits eat this meat, or that meat, why should I through my fault, cause that benefit of God to turn to my blame?
- 1 Corinthians 10:31 The conclusion: We must order our lives in such sort, that we seek not ourselves, but God’s glory, and so the salvation of as many as we may, wherein the Apostle flicketh not to propound himself to the Corinthians (even his own flock) as an example, but so that he calleth them back to Christ, unto whom he himself hath regard.
1 Korinthus 10
Hungarian New Translation
A pusztai vándorlás intő példája
10 Nem szeretném, ha nem tudnátok, testvéreim, hogy atyáink mindnyájan a felhő alatt voltak, és mindnyájan a tengeren mentek át,
2 és mindnyájan megkeresztelkedtek Mózesre a felhőben és a tengerben.
3 Mindnyájan ugyanazt a lelki eledelt ették,
4 és mindnyájan ugyanazt a lelki italt itták, mert a lelki kősziklából ittak, amely velük ment. Az a kőszikla pedig a Krisztus volt.
5 De többségükben nem lelte kedvét az Isten, úgyhogy elhullottak a pusztában.
6 Mindez példává lett a számunkra, hogy ne kívánjunk gonosz dolgokat, amint ők kívántak.
7 Bálványimádók se legyetek, mint közülük némelyek, amint meg van írva: "Leült a nép enni, inni, és felkelt játszani."
8 De ne is paráználkodjunk, mint ahogy közülük némelyek paráználkodtak, és elestek egyetlen napon huszonháromezren.
9 Krisztust se kísértsük, ahogyan közülük némelyek kísértették, és elpusztultak a kígyóktól.
10 De ne is zúgolódjatok, mint ahogyan közülük némelyek zúgolódtak, és elveszítette őket a pusztító angyal.
11 Mindez pedig példaképpen történt velük, figyelmeztetésül íratott meg nekünk, akik az utolsó időkben élünk.
12 Aki tehát azt gondolja, hogy áll, vigyázzon, hogy el ne essék!
13 Emberi erőt meghaladó kísértés még nem ért titeket. Isten pedig hűséges, és nem hagy titeket erőtökön felül kísérteni; sőt a kísértéssel együtt el fogja készíteni a szabadulás útját is, hogy el bírjátok azt viselni.
Az úrvacsora és a bálványáldozat
14 Ezért, szeretteim, kerüljétek a bálványimádást!
15 Úgy beszélek hozzátok, mint értelmes emberekhez: ítéljétek meg magatok, amit mondok.
16 Az áldás pohara, amelyet megáldunk, nem a Krisztus vérével való közösségünk-e? A kenyér, amelyet megtörünk, nem a Krisztus testével való közösségünk-e?
17 Mert egy a kenyér, egy test vagyunk mindannyian, akik az egy kenyérből részesedünk.
18 Nézzétek a test szerinti Izráelt! Akik az áldozatokat eszik, nincsenek-e közösségben az oltárral?
19 De mit mondok ezzel? Talán azt, hogy a bálványáldozat vagy a bálvány ér valamit?
20 Sőt inkább azt, hogy amit a pogányok áldoznak, azt ördögöknek áldozzák és nem Istennek: azt pedig nem szeretném, ha ti az ördögökkel lennétek közösségben.
21 Nem ihattok az Úr poharából is, meg az ördögök poharából is, nem lehettek részesei az Úr asztalának is, meg az ördögök asztalának is.
22 Vagy haragra ingereljük az Urat? Talán erősebbek vagyunk nála?
23 Minden szabad, de nem minden használ. Minden szabad, de nem minden épít.
24 Ne keresse senki a maga javát, hanem a másét.
25 Mindazt, amit a húspiacon árulnak, megehetitek, ne kérdezgessetek semmit lelkiismereti okokból,
26 mert "az Úré a föld és annak teljessége".
27 Ha meghív titeket a hitetlenek közül valaki, és el akartok menni, mindent megehettek, amit elétek tesznek; ne kérdezgessetek semmit lelkiismereti okokból.
28 De ha valaki azt mondja nektek: "Ez bálványáldozati hús", ne egyétek meg: amiatt, aki erre figyelmeztetett, és a lelkiismeret miatt.
29 Lelkiismeretről beszélek, de nem a sajátunkról, hanem a másikéról. Mert miért vádolja az én szabadságomat a másik lelkiismerete?
30 Ha én hálával eszem, miért kárhoztatnának engem azért, amiért én hálát adok?
31 Akár esztek tehát, akár isztok, bármi mást cselekesztek, mindent Isten dicsőségére tegyetek!
32 Megütközésre ne adjatok okot sem a zsidóknak, sem a görögöknek, sem az Isten egyházának;
33 mint ahogyan én is mindenben mindenkinek igyekszem kedvére lenni, nem a magam hasznát keresve, hanem a többiekét, hogy üdvözüljenek.
1 Corintios 10
Dios Habla Hoy
El criterio de la prudencia. Ejemplo de Israel
10 No quiero, hermanos, que olviden que nuestros antepasados estuvieron todos bajo aquella nube, y que todos atravesaron el Mar Rojo. 2 De ese modo, todos ellos quedaron unidos a Moisés al ser bautizados en la nube y en el mar. 3 Igualmente, todos ellos comieron el mismo alimento espiritual 4 y tomaron la misma bebida espiritual. Porque bebían agua de la roca espiritual que los acompañaba en su viaje, la cual era Cristo. 5 Sin embargo, la mayoría de ellos no agradó a Dios, y por eso sus cuerpos quedaron tendidos en el desierto.
6 Todo esto sucedió como un ejemplo para nosotros, para que no deseemos lo malo, como ellos lo desearon. 7 Por eso, no adoren ustedes ídolos, como algunos de ellos lo hicieron, según dice la Escritura: «La gente se sentó a comer y beber, y luego se levantó a divertirse.» 8 No nos entreguemos a la prostitución, como lo hicieron algunos de ellos, por lo que en un solo día murieron veintitrés mil. 9 Tampoco pongamos a prueba a Cristo, como algunos de ellos lo hicieron, por lo que murieron mordidos por las serpientes. 10 Ni murmuren contra Dios, como algunos de ellos murmuraron, por lo que el ángel de la muerte los mató.
11 Todo esto les sucedió a nuestros antepasados como un ejemplo para nosotros, y fue puesto en las Escrituras como una advertencia para los que vivimos en estos tiempos últimos. 12 Así pues, el que cree estar firme, tenga cuidado de no caer. 13 Ustedes no han pasado por ninguna prueba que no sea humanamente soportable. Y pueden ustedes confiar en Dios, que no los dejará sufrir pruebas más duras de lo que pueden soportar. Por el contrario, cuando llegue la prueba, Dios les dará también la manera de salir de ella, para que puedan soportarla.
La solidaridad que se establece en la comida ritual
14 Por eso, mis queridos hermanos, huyan de la idolatría. 15 Les hablo como a personas entendidas: juzguen ustedes mismos lo que les digo. 16 Cuando bebemos de la copa bendita por la cual bendecimos a Dios, participamos en común de la sangre de Cristo; cuando comemos del pan que partimos, participamos en común del cuerpo de Cristo. 17 Aunque somos muchos, todos comemos de un mismo pan, y por esto somos un solo cuerpo.
18 Fíjense en el pueblo de Israel: los que comen de los animales ofrecidos en sacrificio, participan en común del servicio en el altar. 19 Con esto no quiero decir que el ídolo tenga valor alguno, ni que la carne ofrecida al ídolo sea algo más que otra carne cualquiera. 20 Lo que digo es que cuando los paganos ofrecen algo en sacrificio, se lo ofrecen a los demonios, y no a Dios, y yo no quiero que ustedes tengan nada en común con los demonios. 21 No pueden beber de la copa del Señor y, a la vez, de la copa de los demonios; ni pueden participar de la mesa del Señor y, a la vez, de la mesa de los demonios.
22 ¿O acaso queremos poner celoso al Señor? ¿Somos acaso más fuertes que él?
El respeto a la conciencia del prójimo
23 Se dice: «Uno es libre de hacer lo que quiera.» Es cierto, pero no todo conviene. Sí, uno es libre de hacer lo que quiera, pero no todo edifica la comunidad. 24 No hay que buscar el bien de uno mismo, sino el bien de los demás.
25 Coman ustedes de todo lo que se vende en la carnicería, sin preguntar nada por motivos de conciencia; 26 porque el mundo entero, con todo lo que hay en él, es del Señor.
27 Si uno que no es creyente los invita a comer, y ustedes quieren ir, coman de todo lo que les sirvan, sin preguntar nada por motivos de conciencia. 28 Ahora bien, si alguien les dice: «Esta carne fue ofrecida en sacrificio», entonces no la coman, en atención al que lo dijo y por motivos de conciencia. 29 Estoy hablando de la conciencia del otro, no de la de ustedes.
Yo no debo hacer que mi libertad sea mal juzgada por la conciencia de otra persona. 30 Si doy gracias a Dios por lo que como, no debo hacer que se hable mal de lo que para mí es motivo de dar gracias a Dios. 31 En todo caso, lo mismo si comen, que si beben, que si hacen cualquier otra cosa, háganlo todo para la gloria de Dios. 32 No den mal ejemplo a nadie; ni a los judíos, ni a los no judíos, ni a los que pertenecen a la iglesia de Dios. 33 Yo, por mi parte, procuro agradar a todos en todo, sin buscar mi propio bien sino el de los demás, para que alcancen la salvación.
