1 Corinthians 10

1 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

Now, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and that all passed through the sea,

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

and were all immersed into Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;

3 and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate

and did all eat the same spiritual food,

4 and did all drincke of one maner of spirituall drincke. And they dranke of that spretuall rocke that folowed them which rocke was Christ.

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was the Christ.

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

But with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

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

Now these things took place as examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they, also, desired.

7 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.

Neither be you idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written: Tho people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to engage in idolatrous sport.

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

Nor let us be guilty of lewdness, as some of them were guilty, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thousand.

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

Nor let us tempt the Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

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

Nor do you murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 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)

Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they are written for the instruction of us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)

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

Wherefore, let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he foil.

13 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.

No trial has come upon you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried more than you are able to bear; but he will, with the trial, make a way to escape, so that you be able to bear up under it.

14 Wherfore my deare beloued fle from worshippynge of ydols.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

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

I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.

16 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?

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the participation of the body of the Christ?

17 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.

Because the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, for we are all partakers of the one loaf.

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

Look at Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers with the altar?

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

What, then, do I say? That an idol is any thing? or, that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?

20 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

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not wish you to be partakers with demons.

21 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.

You can not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you can not be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

22 Ether shall we provoke the lorde? Or are we stronger then he? All thynges are laufull vnto me but all thynges are not expedient.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

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

All meats are lawful for me; but all are not profitable; all are lawful, but all do not edify.

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

Let no one seek his own, but each the welfare of the other.

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

Any thing that is sold in the market, eat, asking no questions on account of conscience:

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

for the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s.

27 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.

If any one of the unbelievers invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go, eat any thing that is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake.

28 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.

But if any one say to you: This is sacrificed to idols; eat not, for the sake of him that pointed it out, and for conscience sake:

29 Conscience I saye not thyne: but the coscieuce of that other. For why shuld my liberte be iudged of another manes conscience:

conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. Why, then, is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?

30 For yf I take my parte with thakes: why am I evell spoken of for that thynge wherfore I geve thankes.

If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of on account of that for which I give thanks?

31 Whether therfore ye eate or dryncke or what soever ye do do all to the prayse of God.

Whether, therefore, you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Se that ye geve occasion of evell nether to ye Iewes nor yet to the gentyls nether to ye cogregacion of god:

Give no occasion for stumbling, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the church of God;

33 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.

even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.
