Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 10

1 ου θελω δε υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι οι πατερες ημων παντες υπο την νεφελην ησαν και παντες δια της θαλασσης διηλθον

MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 και παντες εις τον μωυσην εβαπτισαντο εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση

And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 και παντες το αυτο βρωμα πνευματικον εφαγον

And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 και παντες το αυτο πομα πνευματικον επιον επινον γαρ εκ πνευματικης ακολουθουσης πετρας η δε πετρα ην ο χριστος

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

5 αλλ ουκ εν τοις πλειοσιν αυτων ευδοκησεν ο θεος κατεστρωθησαν γαρ εν τη ερημω

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

6 ταυτα δε τυποι ημων εγενηθησαν εις το μη ειναι ημας επιθυμητας κακων καθως κακεινοι επεθυμησαν

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 μηδε ειδωλολατραι γινεσθε καθως τινες αυτων ως γεγραπται εκαθισεν ο λαος φαγειν και πιειν και ανεστησαν παιζειν

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 μηδε πορνευωμεν καθως τινες αυτων επορνευσαν και επεσον εν μια ημερα εικοσιτρεις χιλιαδες

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

9 μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον χριστον καθως και τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων απωλοντο

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 μηδε γογγυζετε καθως και τινες αυτων εγογγυσαν και απωλοντο υπο του ολοθρευτου

Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 ταυτα δε παντα τυποι συνεβαινον εκεινοις εγραφη δε προς νουθεσιαν ημων εις ους τα τελη των αιωνων κατηντησεν (aiōn g165)

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (aiōn g165)

12 ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 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

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

14 διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατριας

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι

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

16 το ποτηριον της ευλογιας ο ευλογουμεν ουχι κοινωνια του αιματος του χριστου εστιν τον αρτον ον κλωμεν ουχι κοινωνια του σωματος του χριστου εστιν

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

17 οτι εις αρτος εν σωμα οι πολλοι εσμεν οι γαρ παντες εκ του ενος αρτου μετεχομεν

For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

18 βλεπετε τον ισραηλ κατα σαρκα ουχι οι εσθιοντες τας θυσιας κοινωνοι του θυσιαστηριου εισιν

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

19 τι ουν φημι οτι ειδωλον τι εστιν η οτι ειδωλοθυτον τι εστιν

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

20 αλλ οτι α θυει τα εθνη δαιμονιοις θυει και ου θεω ου θελω δε υμας κοινωνους των δαιμονιων γινεσθαι

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

21 ου δυνασθε ποτηριον κυριου πινειν και ποτηριον δαιμονιων ου δυνασθε τραπεζης κυριου μετεχειν και τραπεζης δαιμονιων

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

22 η παραζηλουμεν τον κυριον μη ισχυροτεροι αυτου εσμεν

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

23 παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα συμφερει παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα οικοδομει

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

24 μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου εκαστος

Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.

25 παν το εν μακελλω πωλουμενον εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

26 του γαρ κυριου η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης

For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

27 ει δε τις καλει υμας των απιστων και θελετε πορευεσθαι παν το παρατιθεμενον υμιν εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν

If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

28 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

But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:

29 συνειδησιν δε λεγω ουχι την εαυτου αλλα την του ετερου ινατι γαρ η ελευθερια μου κρινεται υπο αλλης συνειδησεως

Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?

30 ει εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω

For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

31 ειτε ουν εσθιετε ειτε πινετε ειτε τι ποιειτε παντα εις δοξαν θεου ποιειτε

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32 απροσκοποι γινεσθε και ιουδαιοις και ελλησιν και τη εκκλησια του θεου

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

33 καθως καγω παντα πασιν αρεσκω μη ζητων το εμαυτου συμφερον αλλα το των πολλων ινα σωθωσιν

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
