1 Corinthians 10

1 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and 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 And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:

and were all baptised vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see:

3 And did all eat the same spiritual food,

and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate

4 And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the 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 But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.

But in many of them had god no delite. For they were overthrowen in the wildernes.

6 Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.

These are ensamples to vs that we shuld not lust after evyll thinges as they lusted

7 Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

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 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Nether let vs comit fornicacion as some of them committed fornicacion and were destroyed in one daye. xxiii. thousande.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.

Nether let vs tempte Christ as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpentes.

10 Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

Nether murmure ye as some of them murmured and were destroyed of ye destroyer

11 Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are 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 Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.

Wherfore let hym that thynketh he stodeth take hede least he fall.

13 Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear 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 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.

Wherfore my deare beloued fle from worshippynge of ydols.

15 I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.

I speake as vnto them which have discrecion Iudge ye what I saye.

16 The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?

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 For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.

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 Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?

Beholde Israhell which walketh carnally. Are not they which eate of the sacrifyse partetakers of the aultre?

19 What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?

What saye I then? that the ymage is eny thinge? or that it which is offered to ymages is eny thinge?

20 But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.

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 chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.

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 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.

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 All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.

All thynges are lawfull to me but all thinges edifye not.

24 Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.

Let no man seke his awne proffet: but let every man seke anothers welthe.

25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.

What soever is solde in the market that eate and axe no questions for conscience sake

26 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

For the erth is the lordis and all that therein is.

27 If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.

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 any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for his sake that told it, and for conscience’ sake.

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 Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’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 with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for 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 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do 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 Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to 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 in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that 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.
