1 Corinthians 10
1 For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red 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 in the cloud and in the sea to be followers of Moses.
και παντες εις τον μωσην εβαπτισαντο εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση
3 All ate the same spiritual food,
και παντες το αυτο βρωμα πνευματικον εφαγον
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with 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 But with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the Desert.
αλλ ουκ εν τοις πλειοσιν αυτων ευδοκησεν ο θεος κατεστρωθησαν γαρ εν τη ερημω
6 And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.
ταυτα δε τυποι ημων εγενηθησαν εις το μη ειναι ημας επιθυμητας κακων καθως κακεινοι επεθυμησαν
7 And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written, "The People sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance."
μηδε ειδωλολατραι γινεσθε καθως τινες αυτων ως γεγραπται εκαθισεν ο λαος φαγειν και πιειν και ανεστησαν παιζειν
8 Nor may we be fornicators, like some of them who committed fornication and on a single day 23,000 of them fell dead.
μηδε πορνευωμεν καθως τινες αυτων επορνευσαν και επεσον εν μια ημερα εικοσιτρεις χιλιαδες
9 And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.
μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον χριστον καθως και τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων απωλοντο
10 And do not be discontented, as some of them were, and they were destroyed by the Destroyer.
μηδε γογγυζετε καθως και τινες αυτων εγογγυσαν και απωλοντο υπο του ολοθρευτου
11 All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to us 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 is standing securely beware of falling.
ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση
13 No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear 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 dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.
διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατρειας
15 I speak as to men of sense: judge for yourselves of what I say.
ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι
16 The cup of blessing, which we bless, does it not mean a joint-participation in the blood of Christ? The loaf of bread which we break, does it not mean a joint-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 Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
οτι εις αρτος εν σωμα οι πολλοι εσμεν οι γαρ παντες εκ του ενος αρτου μετεχομεν
18 Look at the Israelites--the nation and their ritual. Are not those who eat the sacrifices joint-partakers in the altar?
βλεπετε τον ισραηλ κατα σαρκα ουχι οι εσθιοντες τας θυσιας κοινωνοι του θυσιαστηριου εισιν
19 Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real thing?
τι ουν φημι οτι ειδωλον τι εστιν η οτι ειδωλοθυτον τι εστιν
20 No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through 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 Lord's cup and the cup of demons: you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord and in the table of demons.
ου δυνασθε ποτηριον κυριου πινειν και ποτηριον δαιμονιων ου δυνασθε τραπεζης κυριου μετεχειν και τραπεζης δαιμονιων
22 Or are we actually arousing the Lord to jealousy. Are we stronger than He is?
η παραζηλουμεν τον κυριον μη ισχυροτεροι αυτου εσμεν
23 Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα συμφερει παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα οικοδομει
24 Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.
μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου εκαστος
25 Anything that is for sale in the meat market, eat, and ask no questions for conscience' sake;
παν το εν μακελλω πωλουμενον εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν
26 for the earth is the Lord's, and all that it contains.
του γαρ κυριου η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης
27 If an unbeliever gives you an invitation and you are disposed to accept it, eat whatever is put before you, and ask no questions for conscience' sake.
ει δε τις καλει υμας των απιστων και θελετε πορευεσθαι παν το παρατιθεμενον υμιν εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν
28 But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice;" abstain from eating it--out of respect for him who warned you, and, as before, for conscience' sake.
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 But now I mean his conscience, not your own. "Why, on what ground," you may object, "is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?
συνειδησιν δε λεγω ουχι την εαυτου αλλα την του ετερου ινα τι γαρ η ελευθερια μου κρινεται υπο αλλης συνειδησεως
30 If, so far as I am concerned, I partake with a grateful heart, why am I to be found fault with in regard to a thing for which I give thanks?"
ει δε εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω
31 Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.
ειτε ουν εσθιετε ειτε πινετε ειτε τι ποιειτε παντα εις δοξαν θεου ποιειτε
32 Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor to the Church of God.
απροσκοποι γινεσθε και ιουδαιοις και ελλησιν και τη εκκλησια του θεου
33 That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.
καθως καγω παντα πασιν αρεσκω μη ζητων το εμαυτου συμφερον αλλα το των πολλων ινα σωθωσιν
