1 Corinthians 10
1 Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and 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 —all were baptized into Moses by the cloud and by the sea—
και παντες εις τον μωσην εβαπτισαντο εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση
3 and all ate the same spiritual food
και παντες το αυτο βρωμα πνευματικον εφαγον
4 and drank the same spiritual drink; because they kept drinking from a spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that Rock was the Christ.
και παντες το αυτο πομα πνευματικον επιον επινον γαρ εκ πνευματικης ακολουθουσης πετρας η δε πετρα ην ο χριστος
5 For all that, God was not pleased with most of them—their carcasses were scattered around the desert!
αλλ ουκ εν τοις πλειοσιν αυτων ευδοκησεν ο θεος κατεστρωθησαν γαρ εν τη ερημω
6 Now these things became examples for us, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
ταυτα δε τυποι ημων εγενηθησαν εις το μη ειναι ημας επιθυμητας κακων καθως κακεινοι επεθυμησαν
7 And do not become idolaters, just like some of them; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to amuse themselves.”
μηδε ειδωλολατραι γινεσθε καθως τινες αυτων ως γεγραπται εκαθισεν ο λαος φαγειν και πιειν και ανεστησαν παιζειν
8 And let us not fornicate, just as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand died!
μηδε πορνευωμεν καθως τινες αυτων επορνευσαν και επεσον εν μια ημερα εικοσιτρεις χιλιαδες
9 Neither let us test the Christ, just as also some of them did—and were destroyed by the snakes!
μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον χριστον καθως και τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων απωλοντο
10 And do not grumble, just as also some of them did—and were executed by the destroyer!
μηδε γογγυζετε καθως και τινες αυτων εγογγυσαν και απωλοντο υπο του ολοθρευτου
11 Now all these things happened to them as examples and were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have 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 then, let him who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall!
ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση
13 No testing has overtaken you except what is common to man, and God is competent, who will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can stand, but with the testing will also provide the way out, that you may be able to endure 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 as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.
ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι
16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing of 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 Since the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, because we all partake of that single loaf.
οτι εις αρτος εν σωμα οι πολλοι εσμεν οι γαρ παντες εκ του ενος αρτου μετεχομεν
18 Consider the physical Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
βλεπετε τον ισραηλ κατα σαρκα ουχι οι εσθιοντες τας θυσιας κοινωνοι του θυσιαστηριου εισιν
19 So what am I getting at? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?
τι ουν φημι οτι ειδωλον τι εστιν η οτι ειδωλοθυτον τι εστιν
20 Rather, that the things pagans sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to become participants with the 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; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.
ου δυνασθε ποτηριον κυριου πινειν και ποτηριον δαιμονιων ου δυνασθε τραπεζης κυριου μετεχειν και τραπεζης δαιμονιων
22 Are we going to provoke the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
η παραζηλουμεν τον κυριον μη ισχυροτεροι αυτου εσμεν
23 All things are ‘permissible’ for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are ‘permissible’ for me, but not all things edify.
παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα συμφερει παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα οικοδομει
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.
μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου εκαστος
25 Eat whatever is being sold in the meat market, asking no question for the sake of conscience;
παν το εν μακελλω πωλουμενον εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν
26 since “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.”
του γαρ κυριου η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης
27 If some unbeliever invites you and you decide to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake 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 anyone says, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the speaker and of the conscience; since “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.”
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 ‘Conscience’ I say, not your own but that of the other. Now just why should my freedom be judged by another'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 with thanks, why be slandered over something I give thanks for?
ει δε εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω
31 Therefore, whether you eat or you drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
ειτε ουν εσθιετε ειτε πινετε ειτε τι ποιειτε παντα εις δοξαν θεου ποιειτε
32 Give no offense, either to Jews or to Greeks or to the Church of God
απροσκοποι γινεσθε και ιουδαιοις και ελλησιν και τη εκκλησια του θεου
33 —even as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my own profit but that of the many, that they may be saved.
καθως καγω παντα πασιν αρεσκω μη ζητων το εμαυτου συμφερον αλλα το των πολλων ινα σωθωσιν
