Paandam nga Indi Magsimba sa mga Dios-dios

10 Mga utod, gusto ko nga mahibaluan ninyo ang natabo sa amon mga katigulangan nga kaupod ni Moises. Gintuytuyan sila sang Dios paagi sa panganod, kag ginbuligan niya sila sa ila pagtabok sa Mapula nga Dagat. Paagi sa sadto nga panganod kag dagat, daw pareho lang nga ginbautisohan sila tanan bilang mga sumulunod ni Moises. Nagkaon sila tanan sang pagkaon nga halin sa Dios. Kag nag-inom sila tanan sang ilimnon nga iya ginhatag, kay nag-inom sila sang tubig halin sa Bato nga ginpatubod sang Dios. Ato nga Bato nga nag-upod sa ila amo si Cristo mismo. Pero bisan ginbuligan sila sang Dios, kalabanan sa ila wala gid naghimo sang husto nga makalipay sa Dios. Amo gani nga ang ila mga bangkay naglalapta didto sa kamingawan.

Ang mga natabo nga ato sa ila nagahatag sang leksyon sa aton agod makapangandam kita nga indi maghandom sa paghimo sang mga malain nga mga butang pareho sang ila ginhimo. Indi kamo magsimba sa mga dios-dios pareho sang ginhimo sang iban sa ila. Kay nasulat sa Kasulatan, “Nagkinaon sila kag nag-ininom, kag nagpagusto pangalipay[a] sa ila pagsimba sa dios-dios.”[b] Kag indi gid kita magsunod sa ginhimo sang iban sa ila nga naghimo sang imoral nga pagpakigrelasyon. Amo gani nga ginsilutan sila sang Dios kag 23,000 ang nagkalamatay sa isa lang ka adlaw. Indi ta pagtestingan ang Ginoo pareho sang ginhimo sang iban sa ila. Amo gani nga ginpakagat niya sila sa mga man-og kag nagkalamatay sila. 10 Indi kamo magsagi kumod pareho sang ginhimo sang iban sa ila. Amo gani nga ginpadal-an sila sang Dios sang anghel nga manugpatay sa pagpatay sa ila.

11 Ini tanan nga butang nagkalatabo agod mahibaluan ta nga ato nga mga butang indi gusto sang Dios. Kag ginsulat ato nga mga nagkalatabo sa pagpaandam sa aton nga nagakabuhi sa panahon nga madali na lang mag-abot ang katapusan.

12 Gani kon nagahunahuna kamo nga ang inyo pagtuo malig-on na, mag-andam kamo kay basi kon makasala man kamo. 13 Wala sing pagsulay nga nagaabot sa inyo nga wala man nagaabot sa iban nga mga tawo. Pero masaligan ang Dios sa iya promisa nga indi niya kamo pagtugutan nga sulayon sing sobra sa inyo masarangan. Kag kon mag-abot ang mga pagsulay sa inyo, magahimo siya sing paagi agod madaog ninyo ini.

14 Gani, mga hinigugma ko, indi gid kamo magsimba sa mga dios-dios. 15 Nagahambal ako sa inyo bilang mga tawo nga makaintiendi. Gani binagbinaga ninyo ang akon ginahambal sa inyo. 16 Kon magtilipon kita agod dumdumon ang kamatayon ni Cristo, may ginainom kita nga ginapasalamatan ta sa Dios, kag may tinapay man kita nga ginapamihak-pihak kag ginakaon. Indi bala sa sini nagapakig-ambit kita sa dugo kag sa lawas ni Cristo? 17 Kita tanan, bisan madamo, isa lang ka lawas tungod nga isa lang ka tinapay ang aton ginaambit.

18 Tan-awa bala ninyo ang mga tawo sa Israel. Ang mga nagakaon sang mga halad nagapakig-ambit sa ginahimo sa halaran. 19 Ano ang buot ko silingon? Nga ang mga dios-dios kag ang pagkaon nga ginahalad sa ila may pulos? 20 Indi! Ang buot ko silingon, ang mga ginahalad sang mga tawo nga wala makakilala sa Dios mga halad sa malaot nga mga espiritu kag indi sa Dios. Gani indi ko gusto nga magpakig-ambit kamo sa malaot nga mga espiritu. 21 Indi mahimo nga mag-inom kamo sa tasa sang Ginoo kag sa tasa sang malaot nga mga espiritu. Kag indi mahimo nga magkaon kamo sa kalan-an sang Ginoo kag sa kalan-an sang malaot nga mga espiritu. 22 Ano, gusto ta bala nga magpangimon ang Ginoo? Kay kon maakig na siya, nahibaluan naton nga indi gid kita makalikaw sa iya silot.

23 Tugot sa aton ang paghimo sang bisan ano, pero indi tanan makabulig ukon makapabakod sa iban. 24 Indi ninyo paghunahunaa ang inyo lang kaugalingon nga kaayuhan, kundi hunahunaa man ninyo ang kaayuhan sang iban.

25 Kauna ninyo ang bisan ano nga ginabaligya sa baligyaan sang karne nga wala na pulupamangkot kon bala ina ginhalad sa mga dios-dios ukon wala, agod indi kamo pagtublagon sang inyo konsensya. 26 Kay nagasiling ang Kasulatan, “Ang kalibutan kag ang tanan nga ara sa sini iya sang Ginoo.”[c]

27 Kon may indi tumuluo nga mag-imbitar sa inyo nga magkaon sa ila, kag gusto man ninyo nga magkadto, kauna ninyo ang bisan ano nga ginpreparar para sa inyo nga wala na pulupamangkot kon bala ina ginhalad sa mga dios-dios ukon wala, agod indi kamo pagtublagon sang inyo konsensya. 28 Pero kon may magsiling sa inyo nga ang ina nga pagkaon ginhalad sa mga dios-dios, indi ninyo pagkauna, tungod lang sa sina nga tawo nga nagsiling sa inyo, agod nga wala sing konsensya nga matublag. 29 Indi ang inyo kaugalingon nga konsensya ang akon buot silingon kundi ang konsensya sang sina nga tawo. Karon basi magsiling kamo, “Ngaa punggan ko ang akon gusto tungod sa konsensya sang iban? 30 Kon ginapasalamatan ko sa Dios ang akon ginakaon, ngaa abi pakalainon ako tungod sa pagkaon nga akon ginapasalamatan?”

31 Ini ang akon sabat sa inyo: bisan ano ang inyo himuon, bisan magkaon ukon mag-inom, himua ninyo ang tanan sa katuyuan nga madayaw ang Dios. 32 Indi gid kamo maghimo sang bisan ano nga makahatag kasandaran sa mga Judio ukon sa mga indi Judio, ukon sa iglesya sang Dios. 33 Sunda lang bala ninyo ang akon ginahimo: permi ako nagapangita sang paagi nga mabuligan ko ang tanan nga tawo sa tanan ko nga ginahimo. Wala ako nagapangita sang akon kaugalingon nga kaayuhan kundi ang kaayuhan sang iban agod maluwas sila.

Warning Against Idolatry

10 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] that our fathers were all under (A)the cloud, and all (B)passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and (C)all ate the same (D)spiritual food, and (E)all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for (F)they were overthrown[b] in the wilderness.

Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as (G)they did. (H)Do not be idolaters (I)as some of them were; as it is written, (J)“The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” (K)We must not indulge in sexual immorality (L)as some of them did, and (M)twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ[c] to the test, (N)as some of them did and (O)were destroyed by serpents, 10 nor grumble, (P)as some of them did and (Q)were destroyed by (R)the Destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but (S)they were written down for our instruction, (T)on whom the end of the ages has come. 12 Therefore (U)let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. (V)God is faithful, and (W)he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

14 Therefore, my beloved, (X)flee from idolatry. 15 I speak (Y)as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 (Z)The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? (AA)The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are (AB)one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider (AC)the people of Israel:[d] (AD)are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? 19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that (AE)an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice (AF)they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 (AG)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and (AH)the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and (AI)the table of demons. 22 (AJ)Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? (AK)Are we stronger than he?

Do All to the Glory of God

23 (AL)“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. 24 (AM)Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. 25 (AN)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. 26 For (AO)“the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.” 27 If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, (AP)eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— 29 I do not mean (AQ)your conscience, but his. For (AR)why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that (AS)for which I give thanks?

31 So, whether you eat or drink, or (AT)whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 (AU)Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to (AV)the church of God, 33 just as (AW)I try to please everyone in everything I do, (AX)not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

Warnings From Israel’s History

10 For I do not want you to be ignorant(A) of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud(B) and that they all passed through the sea.(C) They were all baptized into(D) Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food(E) and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock(F) that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.(G)

Now these things occurred as examples(H) to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters,(I) as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”[a](J) We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.(K) We should not test Christ,[b](L) as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.(M) 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did(N)—and were killed(O) by the destroying angel.(P)

11 These things happened to them as examples(Q) and were written down as warnings for us,(R) on whom the culmination of the ages has come.(S) 12 So, if you think you are standing firm,(T) be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation[c] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;(U) he will not let you be tempted[d] beyond what you can bear.(V) But when you are tempted,[e] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Idol Feasts and the Lord’s Supper

14 Therefore, my dear friends,(W) flee from idolatry.(X) 15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break(Y) a participation in the body of Christ?(Z) 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body,(AA) for we all share the one loaf.

18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices(AB) participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?(AC) 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons,(AD) not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.(AE) 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?(AF) Are we stronger than he?(AG)

The Believer’s Freedom

23 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.(AH) “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. 24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.(AI)

25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,(AJ) 26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[f](AK)

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you(AL) without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.(AM) 29 I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom(AN) being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?(AO)

31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.(AP) 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble,(AQ) whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God(AR) 33 even as I try to please everyone in every way.(AS) For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many,(AT) so that they may be saved.(AU)

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, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same (C)spiritual food, and all drank the same (D)spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies (E)were scattered in the wilderness.

Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as (F)they also lusted. (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.” (I)Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as (J)some of them did, and (K)in one day twenty-three thousand fell; 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.
