Mga Babala Laban sa Diyus-diyosan
10 Mga(A) kapatid, nais kong malaman ninyo ang nangyari sa ating mga ninuno noong panahon ni Moises. Silang lahat ay naliliman ng ulap sa kanilang paglalakbay at sa pagtawid sa Dagat na Pula. 2 Sa gayon, nabautismuhan silang lahat[a] sa ulap at sa dagat bilang mga tagasunod ni Moises. 3 Kumain(B) silang lahat ng iisang pagkaing espirituwal, 4 at uminom(C) din ng iisang inuming espirituwal, sapagkat uminom sila sa batong espirituwal na sumubaybay sa kanila, at ang batong iyon ay si Cristo. 5 Gayunman,(D) hindi kinalugdan ng Diyos ang marami sa kanila, kaya't nagkalat ang kanilang mga bangkay sa ilang.
6 Ang(E) lahat ng mga nangyaring iyon ay babala sa atin upang huwag tayong maghangad ng masasamang bagay, gaya ng ginawa nila. 7 Huwag(F) kayong sasamba sa mga diyus-diyosan, gaya ng ginawa ng ilan sa kanila. Ayon sa nasusulat, “Umupo ang mga tao upang magkainan at mag-inuman, at tumayo upang magsayaw.” 8 Huwag(G) tayong makikiapid, gaya ng ginawa ng ilan sa kanila, kaya't dalawampu't tatlong libong tao ang namatay sa loob lamang ng isang araw. 9 Huwag(H) nating susubukin si Cristo,[b] gaya ng ginawa ng ilan sa kanila; dahil sa ginawa nila, pinuksa sila ng mga ahas. 10 Huwag(I) din tayong magreklamo, tulad ng ilan sa kanila, kaya't nilipol naman sila ng anghel na namumuksa.
11 Nangyari iyon sa kanila bilang babala sa iba, at isinulat upang tayo namang nabubuhay ngayong mga huling araw ay maturuan.
12 Kaya't mag-ingat ang sinumang nag-aakalang siya'y nakatayo, at baka siya mabuwal. 13 Wala(J) pang pagsubok na dumating sa inyo na hindi nararanasan ng ibang tao. Tapat ang Diyos, at hindi niya ipapahintulot na kayo'y subukin nang higit sa inyong makakaya. Sa halip, pagdating ng pagsubok, bibigyan niya kayo ng lakas upang makayanan ito at ng paraan upang malampasan ito.
14 Kaya nga, mga minamahal, iwasan ninyo ang pagsamba sa mga diyus-diyosan. 15 Kinakausap ko kayo bilang matatalinong tao; husgahan ninyo ang sinasabi ko. 16 Hindi(K) ba't ang pag-inom natin sa kopa ng pagpapala na ating ipinagpapasalamat ay pakikibahagi sa dugo ni Cristo? At ang pagkain natin ng tinapay na ating pinipira-piraso ay pakikibahagi naman sa kanyang katawan? 17 Kaya nga, dahil iisa lamang ang tinapay, tayo'y iisang katawan kahit na tayo'y marami, sapagkat nagsasalu-salo tayo sa iisang tinapay.
18 Tingnan(L) ninyo ang bansang Israel. Hindi ba't ang mga kumakain ng mga handog ay nakikibahagi sa ginagawa sa dambana? 19 Anong ibig kong sabihin? Sinasabi ko bang ang diyus-diyosan, o ang pagkaing inihandog sa mga diyus-diyosan ay may kabuluhan? 20 Hindi!(M) Ang ibig kong sabihin, ang mga pagano ay nag-aalay ng kanilang handog sa mga demonyo, at hindi sa Diyos. Ayaw kong maging kaisa kayo ng mga demonyo. 21 Hindi kayo makakainom sa kopa ng Panginoon at gayundin sa kopa ng mga demonyo. Hindi kayo maaaring makisalo sa hapag ng Panginoon at makisalo rin sa hapag ng mga demonyo. 22 Nais(N) ba nating manibugho ang Panginoon? Akala ba ninyo'y mas makapangyarihan tayo kaysa sa kanya?
23 Mayroon(O) namang magsasabi, “Malaya akong gumawa ng anuman,” ngunit hindi lahat ng ito ay nakakabuti. “Malaya akong gumawa ng anuman,” ngunit hindi rin lahat ng ito'y nakakatulong. 24 Huwag ang sariling kapakanan ang unahin ninyo, kundi ang sa iba.
25 Kumain kayo ng anumang nabibili sa tindahan ng karne at huwag nang magtanong pa upang hindi mabagabag ang inyong budhi. 26 Sapagkat(P) sinasabi ng kasulatan, “Ang buong daigdig at lahat ng naroroon, ang Panginoon ang may-ari niyon!”
27 Kung anyayahan kayo ng isang hindi sumasampalataya at nais ninyong dumalo, kainin ninyo ang anumang ihain sa inyo at huwag na kayong magtanong pa kung iyon ay ikagugulo ng inyong budhi. 28 Ngunit kung may magsabi sa inyo, “Ito'y inialay sa mga diyus-diyosan,” huwag ninyong kainin iyon alang-alang sa nagsabi sa inyo, upang di mabagabag ang budhi. 29 Ang aking tinutukoy ay ang budhi ng inyong kapwa, at hindi ang budhi ninyo.
Bakit hahadlangan ng budhi ng iba ang aking kalayaan? 30 Bakit ako susumbatan dahil sa pagkain ko ng mga bagay na ipinagpasalamat ko naman sa Diyos? 31 Kaya nga, kung kayo'y kumakain o umiinom, o anuman ang ginagawa ninyo, gawin ninyo ang lahat sa ikararangal ng Diyos. 32 Huwag kayong maging sanhi ng pagkakasala ninuman, ng mga Judio, ng mga Hentil, o ng mga kaanib sa iglesya ng Diyos, 33 sa halip, tularan ninyo ang ginagawa ko. Sinisikap kong mabigyang kasiyahan ang lahat ng tao sa bawat ginagawa ko. Hindi ko inuuna ang sarili kong kapakanan kundi ang kapakanan ng marami, upang maligtas sila.

New Living Translation
Lessons from Israel’s Idolatry
10 I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters,[a] about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground. 2 In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses. 3 All of them ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. 5 Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
6 These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did, 7 or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.”[b] 8 And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day.
9 Nor should we put Christ[c] to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites. 10 And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death. 11 These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age.
12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
14 So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols. 15 You are reasonable people. Decide for yourselves if what I am saying is true. 16 When we bless the cup at the Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ? 17 And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body. 18 Think about the people of Israel. Weren’t they united by eating the sacrifices at the altar?
19 What am I trying to say? Am I saying that food offered to idols has some significance, or that idols are real gods? 20 No, not at all. I am saying that these sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. And I don’t want you to participate with demons. 21 You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too. 22 What? Do we dare to rouse the Lord’s jealousy? Do you think we are stronger than he is?
23 You say, “I am allowed to do anything”[d]—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial. 24 Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
25 So you may eat any meat that is sold in the marketplace without raising questions of conscience. 26 For “the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[e]
27 If someone who isn’t a believer asks you home for dinner, accept the invitation if you want to. Eat whatever is offered to you without raising questions of conscience. 28 (But suppose someone tells you, “This meat was offered to an idol.” Don’t eat it, out of consideration for the conscience of the one who told you. 29 It might not be a matter of conscience for you, but it is for the other person.) For why should my freedom be limited by what someone else thinks? 30 If I can thank God for the food and enjoy it, why should I be condemned for eating it?
31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles[f] or the church of God. 33 I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.
1 Corinthians 10
King James Version
10 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink 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: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye 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 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 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 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28 But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31 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 Gentiles, 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 may be saved.
