1 Corinthians Chapter 10

            10^:1I-do┘not└want you to-be-unaware, brothers, that the fathers of-us were all under the cloud and passed–through the sea, ² and all were-baptized to [the] 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 drank from (a) spiritual rock following (them), and the rock was [the] Messiah. ⁵ But not with [the] most of-them was┘[the] God└pleased, for they-were-struck-down in the wilderness. ⁶ But these-things became examples for-us unto our [the] not being coveters of-evil-things even-as they-also coved (them). ⁷ Nor be idolaters even-as some of-them, as it-has-been-written,

“The people sat-down to-eat and to-drink,

and got-up to-play/carouse.”

⁸ Nor commit-sexual-immorality, and in one day fell twenty-three-thousand. ⁹ Neither let-us-put┘[the] Christ└to-trial even-as some of-them tried (him), and were-destroyed by [the] snakes. ¹⁰ Neither complain as some of-them complained, and were-destroyed by the destroyer. ¹¹ These-things happened to-them as-examples, and they-were-written for (a) warning to-us, to whom the ends of-the ages have-come. ¹² So-that let┘the-one supposing to-stand└beware lest he-fall. ¹³ (A) trial has┘not└overtaken you except² human. But [the] God (is) faithful, who will┘not└allow you to-be tried above what you-are-able, but will-provide with the trial also the way-out unto [the] being-able to-endure (it).

            ¹⁴ So, my beloved, flee from [the] idolatry. ¹⁵ I-am-talking as to-wise-men; regard what I-am-saying. ¹⁶ The cup of-[the] blessing that we-bless, is-it not (a) sharing of-the blood of-[the] Christ? The loaf that we-break, is-it not (a) sharing-with the body of-[the] Christ? ¹⁷ Because (there is) one loaf, we the many are one body, for we┘the all└share [of] the one loaf. ¹⁸ Look-at [the] Israel according-to the flesh. Are the–ones eating the sacrifices not sharers of-the altar? ¹⁹ So what am-I-saying? That (a) sacrificed-to-idols-thing is anything or that (an) idol is anything? ²⁰ (No), but that what-things they-sacrifice, [they sacrifice]^ms to demons and not to-God. And I-do┘not└want you to be sharers of-[the] demons. ²¹ You-are┘not└able to-drink (the) cup of-(the)-Lord and (the) cup of-demons; you-are┘not└able to-share (the) table of (the) Lord and (the) table of-demons. ²² Or do-we-provoke┘the Lord└to jealousy? We-are not stronger than-he (is), are we?

            ²³ All-things are-possible, but not all-things are-profitable; all-things are possible, but not all-things build-up. ²⁴ Let┘nobody└seek [the] his-own, but the-thing of-the other. ²⁵ Eat everything [the] sold in (the) food-market, judging nothing on-account-of [the] conscience. ²⁶ For “the earth (is) the Lord’s and the fullness of-it.” ²⁷ If anybody of-the unbelievers calls you and you-want to-go, eat everything [the] set-before you, judging nothing on-account-of [the] conscience. ²⁸ But if anybody says to-you, “This is (an) offered-to-idol-thing, do┘not└eat on-account-of that-one [the] having-called-(it)-to-(your)-attention and [the] conscience— ²⁹ but conscience, I-say, not his-own [the] (conscience), but the (conscience) of-the other. For why is┘the freedom of-me└judged by (the) conscience of-another? ³⁰ If I participate with-thanksgiving, why am-I-blasphemed for what I am-grateful? ³¹ So whether you-eat, whether you drink, whether you-do anything, do all-things to (the) glory of-God. ³²Be inoffensive both to-Jews and Greeks and to-the church of-[the] God, ³³ just-as I-also please all-men in-all-things and, not seeking the profit of-myself, but the (profit) of-the many, in-order-that they-may-be-saved. 11^:1Be-imitators of-me even-as I-also (am) of-Christ.
