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

For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, 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 all were baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 και παντες το αυτο βρωμα πνευματικον εφαγον

and all ate the same spiritual food,

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

and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed [them]: (now the rock was the Christ; )

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

yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert.

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

But these things happened [as] types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.

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

Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to 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 fornication, 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 the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.

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

Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by 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 to them [as] types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165)

12 ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση

So that let him that thinks that he stands 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

No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able [to bear], but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that [ye] should be able to bear [it].

14 διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατρειας

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι

I speak as to intelligent [persons]: do ye judge 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 the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not [the] communion of the body of the Christ?

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

Because we, [being] many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.

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

See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?

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

What then do I say? that what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

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

But that what [the nations] sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.

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

Ye cannot drink [the] Lord's cup, and [the] cup of demons: ye cannot partake of [the] Lord's table, and of [the] table of demons.

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, but all are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all do not edify.

24 μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου εκαστος

Let no one seek his own [advantage], but that of the other.

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

Everything sold in the shambles eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.

26 του γαρ κυριου η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης

For the earth [is] the Lord's and its fulness.

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

But if any one of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are minded to go, all that is set before you eat, making no inquiry 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 one say to you, This is offered to holy purposes, do not eat, for his sake that pointed it out, and conscience sake;

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

but conscience, I mean, not thine own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

30 ει εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω

If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I spoken evil of for what I give thanks for?

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

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all things to God's glory.

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

Give no occasion to stumbling, whether to Jews, or Greeks, or the assembly of God.

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

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