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

For I wish not ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, all our fathers, were, under the cloud, and, all, passed through the sea, —

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

And, all, immersed themselves into Moses, in the cloud, and in the sea;

3 and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate

And, all, did 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, all, drank, the same spiritual drink, —for they continued to drink of the spiritual rock that followed them, and, the rock, was the Christ: —

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

Nevertheless, with the most of them, God, was not well-pleased, for they were strewed along in the desert.

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

But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted;

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 become ye, idolaters, as some of them, —as it is written—The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to be making sport;

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

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

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

Neither let us be putting the Lord to the test, as, some of them, put him to the test, and, by the serpents, were perishing;

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

Neither be ye murmuring, even, as some of them, murmured, and perished 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)

But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along. (aiōn g165)

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

So that, he that thinketh he is standing, let him take heed lest he fall.

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.

Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

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.

As, to prudent men, I speak, —judge, ye, 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, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together 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, one loaf, one body, we, the many, are, for we, all, of the one loaf, partake.

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

Be looking at Israel after the flesh: —are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint 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, am I saying?—that, an idol-sacrifice, is anything? or that, an idol, is anything?

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

On the contrary—that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God, they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with the 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.

Ye cannot be drinking—a cup of the Lord, and a cup of demons; ye cannot be partaking of, a table of the Lord, and a 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.

Or are we to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we mightier than he?

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

All things are allowable—but, not all things, are profitable, —all things are allowable—but, not all things, upbuild.

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

Let, no one, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else.

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

Whatsoever, in the market, is sold, eat, —asking no question, for conscience sake;

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

For, unto the Lord, belongeth the earth, and the fullness thereof.

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 one of them who believe not invite you, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you, eat, —asking no question, 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 anyone should say unto you, —This, is, a holy sacrifice, do not eat, for that man’s sake who disclosed it, 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:

But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other’s, —for why is my freedom to be judged by another’s conscience?

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

If, I, with gratitude, partake, why am I to be defamed, as to 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, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do, all things 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 of stumbling—whether to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly 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 also, in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
