1 Corinzi 10
La Nuova Diodati
10 Ora, fratelli, non voglio che ignoriate che i nostri padri furono tutti sotto la nuvola e tutti passarono attraverso il mare,
2 tutti furono battezzati per Mosé nella nuvola e nel mare,
3 tutti mangiarono il medesimo cibo spirituale,
4 e tutti bevvero la medesima bevanda spirituale, perché bevevano dalla roccia spirituale che li seguiva; or quella roccia era Cristo.
5 Ma Dio non gradí la maggior parte di loro; infatti furono abbattuti nel deserto,
6 Or queste cose avvennero come esempi per noi, affinché non desideriamo cose malvagie come essi fecero,
7 e affinché non diventiate idolatri come alcuni di loro, secondo quanto sta scritto: «Il popolo si sedette per mangiare e per bere, e poi si alzò per divertirsi».
8 E non fornichiamo, come alcuni di loro fornicarono, per cui ne caddero in un giorno ventitremila.
9 E non tentiamo Cristo, come alcuni di loro lo tentarono, per cui perirono per mezzo dei serpenti,
10 E non mormorate, come alcuni di loro mormorarono, per cui perirono per mezzo del distruttore.
11 Or tutte queste cose avvennero loro come esempio, e sono scritte per nostro avvertimento, per noi, che ci troviamo alla fine delle età.
12 Perciò, chi pensa di stare in piedi, guardi di non cadere.
13 Nessuna tentazione vi ha finora colti se non umana, or Dio è fedele e non permetterà che siate tentati oltre le vostre forze, ma con la tentazione vi darà anche la via d'uscita, affinché la possiate sostenere.
14 Perciò, miei cari, fuggite dall'idolatria.
15 Io parlo come a persone intelligenti; giudicate voi ciò che dico:
16 il calice della benedizione, che noi benediciamo, non è forse partecipazione con il sangue di Cristo? Il pane, che noi rompiamo, non è forse partecipazione con il corpo di Cristo?
17 Poiché vi è un solo pane e noi, sebbene in molti, siamo un solo corpo, poiché tutti partecipiamo dell'unico pane.
18 Guardate Israele secondo la carne: quelli che mangiano i sacrifici non hanno essi parte dell'altare?
19 Che dico dunque? Che l'idolo sia qualche cosa? O che ciò che è sacrificato agli idoli sia qualche cosa?
20 No, ma dico che le cose che i gentili sacrificano, le sacrificano ai démoni e non a Dio; or io non voglio che voi abbiate parte con i démoni.
21 Voi non potete bere il calice del Signore e il calice dei démoni, voi non potete partecipare alla mensa del Signore e alla mensa dei démoni.
22 Vogliamo noi provocare il Signore a gelosia? Siamo noi piú forti di lui?
23 Ogni cosa mi è lecita, ma non ogni cosa è vantaggiosa, ogni cosa mi è lecita, ma non ogni cosa edifica.
24 Nessuno cerchi il proprio interesse, ma ciascuno cerchi quello altrui.
25 Mangiate di tutto ciò che si vende al macello senza fare alcuna domanda per motivo di coscienza,
26 perché «la terra e tutto ciò che essa contiene è del Signore»,
27 Se qualche non credente vi invita e volete andarvi, mangiate di tutto ciò che vi è posto davanti senza fare alcuna domanda per motivo di coscienza.
28 Ma se qualcuno vi dice: «Questo fa parte delle cose sacrificate agli idoli», non ne mangiate, per riguardo a colui che vi ha avvertito e per motivo di coscienza, perché «la terra e tutto ciò che essa contiene è del Signore».
29 Or mi riferisco non alla tua coscienza, ma a quella dell'altro. Per qual motivo infatti sarebbe la mia libertà giudicata dalla coscienza di un altro?
30 Ma se prendo parte alle vivande con gratitudine, perché sarei biasimato per ciò di cui rendo grazie?
31 Sia dunque che mangiate, sia che beviate, sia che facciate alcun'altra cosa, fate tutte le cose alla gloria di Dio.
32 Non date motivo di scandalo né ai Giudei, né ai Greci, né alla chiesa di Dio;
33 come io stesso mi sforzo di essere gradito a tutti in ogni cosa, non cercando il mio proprio vantaggio ma quello di molti, affinché siano salvati.

Avoid Israel’s Mistakes
10 For (A)I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all (B)under the cloud and they all (C)passed through the sea; 2 and they all were (D)baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 and they all (E)ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all (F)drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was [a]Christ. 5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for their dead bodies were (G)spread out in the wilderness.
6 Now these things happened as (H)examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as (I)they indeed craved them. 7 Do not be (J)idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “(K)The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to (L)play.” 8 Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as (M)some of them [b]did, and (N)twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9 Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as (O)some of them [c]did, and were killed by the snakes. 10 Nor (P)grumble, as some of them [d]did, and (Q)were killed by the (R)destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an (S)example, and (T)they were written for our instruction, upon whom (U)the ends of the ages have come. 12 Therefore let the one who (V)thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and (W)God is faithful, [e]so He will not allow you to be (X)tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
14 Therefore, my (Y)beloved, flee from (Z)idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise people; you then, judge what I say. 16 Is the (AA)cup of blessing which we bless not a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is the (AB)bread which we break not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Since there is one loaf, we (AC)who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf. 18 Look at [f]the people of (AD)Israel; are those who (AE)eat the sacrifices not partners in the altar? 19 What do I mean then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or (AF)that an idol is [g]anything? 20 No, but I say that things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they (AG)sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons. 21 (AH)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and (AI)the table of demons. 22 Or do we (AJ)provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not (AK)stronger than He, are we?
23 (AL)All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things [h](AM)build people up. 24 No one is to (AN)seek his own advantage, but rather that of his [i]neighbor. 25 (AO)Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions, for the sake of conscience; 26 (AP)for the earth is the Lord’s, and [j]all it contains. 27 If (AQ)one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, (AR)eat anything that is set before you without asking questions, for the sake of conscience. 28 But (AS)if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience; 29 Now by “conscience” I do not mean your own, but the other person’s; for (AT)why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, (AU)why am I slandered about that for which I (AV)give thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or (AW)whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God. 32 (AX)Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or (AY)the church of God; 33 just as I also (AZ)please everyone in all things, (BA)not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of the many, (BB)so 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) 2 They were all baptized into(D) Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food(E) 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock(F) that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.(G)
6 Now these things occurred as examples(H) to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 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) 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.(K) 9 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)
