1 Corinthians 10
1 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.
Brethren I wolde not that ye shuld be ignoraunt of this how yt oure fathers were all vnder a cloude and all passed thorow the see
2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
and were all baptised vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see:
3 They all ate the same spiritual food
and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate
4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
and did all drincke of one maner of spirituall drincke. And they dranke of that spretuall rocke that folowed them which rocke was Christ.
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
But in many of them had god no delite. For they were overthrowen in the wildernes.
6 These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
These are ensamples to vs that we shuld not lust after evyll thinges as they lusted
7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
Nether be ye worshippers of Images as were some of them accordynge as it is written: The people sate doune to eate and drynke and rose vp agayne to playe.
8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
Nether let vs comit fornicacion as some of them committed fornicacion and were destroyed in one daye. xxiii. thousande.
9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
Nether let vs tempte Christ as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpentes.
10 And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
Nether murmure ye as some of them murmured and were destroyed of ye destroyer
11 Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)
All these thinges happened vnto them for ensamples and were written to put vs in remembraunce whom the endes of the worlde are come apon. (aiōn g165)
12 So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
Wherfore let hym that thynketh he stodeth take hede least he fall.
13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
There hath none other temptacion taken you but soche as foloweth ye nature of ma. But God is faythfull which shall not suffer you to be tempted above youre strenght: but shall in the myddes of the temptacion make awaye to escape out.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Wherfore my deare beloued fle from worshippynge of ydols.
15 I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
I speake as vnto them which have discrecion Iudge ye what I saye.
16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
Ys not the cuppe of blessinge which we blesse partakynge of ye bloude of Christ? ys not the breed which we breake partetakynge of the body of Christ?
17 Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
because that we (though we be many) yet are one breed and one bodye in as moch as we all are partetakers of one breed.
18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
Beholde Israhell which walketh carnally. Are not they which eate of the sacrifyse partetakers of the aultre?
19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
What saye I then? that the ymage is eny thinge? or that it which is offered to ymages is eny thinge?
20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
Nay but I saye that those thinges which the gentyle offer they offer to devyls and not to god. And I wolde not that ye shuld have fellishippe with ye devils
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
Ye canot drincke of the cup of the lorde and of yt cup of ye deuyls. Ye cnanot be partetakers of the lordes table and of the table of deuelles.
22 Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
Ether shall we provoke the lorde? Or are we stronger then he? All thynges are laufull vnto me but all thynges are not expedient.
23 “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
All thynges are lawfull to me but all thinges edifye not.
24 No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Let no man seke his awne proffet: but let every man seke anothers welthe.
25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
What soever is solde in the market that eate and axe no questions for conscience sake
26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
For the erth is the lordis and all that therein is.
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
Yf eny of them which beleve not bid you to a feest and yf ye be disposed to goo what soever is seet before you: eate axinge no question for conscience sake.
28 But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
But and yf eny man saye vnto you: this is dedicate vnto ydols eate not of it for his sake that shewed it and for hurtynge of conscience.
29 the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
Conscience I saye not thyne: but the coscieuce of that other. For why shuld my liberte be iudged of another manes conscience:
30 If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
For yf I take my parte with thakes: why am I evell spoken of for that thynge wherfore I geve thankes.
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
Whether therfore ye eate or dryncke or what soever ye do do all to the prayse of God.
32 Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
Se that ye geve occasion of evell nether to ye Iewes nor yet to the gentyls nether to ye cogregacion of god:
33 as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.
euen as I please all men in all thinges not sekynge myne awne proffet but the proffet of many that they myght be saved. Folowe me as I do Christ.
