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.
ου θελω δε υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι οι πατερες ημων παντες υπο την νεφελην ησαν και παντες δια της θαλασσης διηλθον
2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
και παντες εις τον μωσην εβαπτισαντο εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση
3 They all ate the same spiritual food
και παντες το αυτο βρωμα πνευματικον εφαγον
4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
και παντες το αυτο πομα πνευματικον επιον επινον γαρ εκ πνευματικης ακολουθουσης πετρας η δε πετρα ην ο χριστος
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
αλλ ουκ εν τοις πλειοσιν αυτων ευδοκησεν ο θεος κατεστρωθησαν γαρ εν τη ερημω
6 These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
ταυτα δε τυποι ημων εγενηθησαν εις το μη ειναι ημας επιθυμητας κακων καθως κακεινοι επεθυμησαν
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.”
μηδε ειδωλολατραι γινεσθε καθως τινες αυτων ως γεγραπται εκαθισεν ο λαος φαγειν και πιειν και ανεστησαν παιζειν
8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
μηδε πορνευωμεν καθως τινες αυτων επορνευσαν και επεσον εν μια ημερα εικοσιτρεις χιλιαδες
9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον χριστον καθως και τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων απωλοντο
10 And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
μηδε γογγυζετε καθως και τινες αυτων εγογγυσαν και απωλοντο υπο του ολοθρευτου
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)
ταυτα δε παντα τυποι συνεβαινον εκεινοις εγραφη δε προς νουθεσιαν ημων εις ους τα τελη των αιωνων κατηντησεν (aiōn g165)
12 So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση
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.
πειρασμος υμας ουκ ειληφεν ει μη ανθρωπινος πιστος δε ο θεος ος ουκ εασει υμας πειρασθηναι υπερ ο δυνασθε αλλα ποιησει συν τω πειρασμω και την εκβασιν του δυνασθαι υμας υπενεγκειν
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατρειας
15 I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι
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?
το ποτηριον της ευλογιας ο ευλογουμεν ουχι κοινωνια του αιματος του χριστου εστιν τον αρτον ον κλωμεν ουχι κοινωνια του σωματος του χριστου εστιν
17 Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
οτι εις αρτος εν σωμα οι πολλοι εσμεν οι γαρ παντες εκ του ενος αρτου μετεχομεν
18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
βλεπετε τον ισραηλ κατα σαρκα ουχι οι εσθιοντες τας θυσιας κοινωνοι του θυσιαστηριου εισιν
19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
τι ουν φημι οτι ειδωλον τι εστιν η οτι ειδωλοθυτον τι εστιν
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.
αλλ οτι α θυει τα εθνη δαιμονιοις θυει και ου θεω ου θελω δε υμας κοινωνους των δαιμονιων γινεσθαι
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.
ου δυνασθε ποτηριον κυριου πινειν και ποτηριον δαιμονιων ου δυνασθε τραπεζης κυριου μετεχειν και τραπεζης δαιμονιων
22 Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
η παραζηλουμεν τον κυριον μη ισχυροτεροι αυτου εσμεν
23 “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα συμφερει παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα οικοδομει
24 No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου εκαστος
25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
παν το εν μακελλω πωλουμενον εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν
26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
του γαρ κυριου η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
ει δε τις καλει υμας των απιστων και θελετε πορευεσθαι παν το παρατιθεμενον υμιν εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν
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—
εαν δε τις υμιν ειπη τουτο ειδωλοθυτον εστιν μη εσθιετε δι εκεινον τον μηνυσαντα και την συνειδησιν του γαρ κυριου η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης
29 the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
συνειδησιν δε λεγω ουχι την εαυτου αλλα την του ετερου ινα τι γαρ η ελευθερια μου κρινεται υπο αλλης συνειδησεως
30 If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
ει δε εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
ειτε ουν εσθιετε ειτε πινετε ειτε τι ποιειτε παντα εις δοξαν θεου ποιειτε
32 Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
απροσκοποι γινεσθε και ιουδαιοις και ελλησιν και τη εκκλησια του θεου
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.
καθως καγω παντα πασιν αρεσκω μη ζητων το εμαυτου συμφερον αλλα το των πολλων ινα σωθωσιν
