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

Moreouer, brethren, I woulde not that yee shoulde bee ignorant, that all our fathers were vnder that cloude, and all passed through that sea,

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

And were all baptized vnto Moses, in that cloude, and in that 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 drinke the same spirituall drinke (for they dranke of the spiritual Rocke that folowed them: and the Rocke 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 pleased: for they were ouerthrowen in ye wildernes.

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

Nowe these things are our ensamples, to the intent that we should not lust after euil things as they also lusted.

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

Neither bee ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, The people sate downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play.

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

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

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

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

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

Neither murmure 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)

Nowe all these things came vnto them for ensamples, and were written to admonish vs, vpon whome the endes of the world are come. (aiōn g165)

12 ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση

Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heede lest he fall.

13 πειρασμος υμας ουκ ειληφεν ει μη ανθρωπινος δυνατος 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 tentation taken you, but such as appertaine to man: and God is faithfull, which will not suffer you to be tempted aboue that you be able, but wil euen giue the issue with the tentation, that ye may be able to beare it.

14 διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατριας

Wherefore my beloued, flee from idolatrie.

15 ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι

I speake as vnto them which haue vnderstanding: iugde 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 blesse, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we breake, 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 that are many, are one bread and one body, because we all are partakers of one bread.

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

Beholde Israel, which is after the flesh: are not they which eate 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 idole is any thing? or that that which is sacrificed to idoles, is any thing?

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

Nay, but that these things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to deuils, and not vnto God: and I would not that ye should haue fellowship with the deuils.

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

Ye can not drinke the cup of the Lord, and the cup of the deuils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lords table, and of the table of the deuils.

22 η παραζηλουμεν τον κυριον μη ισχυροτεροι αυτου εσμεν

Doe we prouoke the Lord to anger? are we stronger then he?

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

All things are lawfull for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawfull for me, but all things edifie not.

24 μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου εκαστος

Let no man seeke his owne, but euery man anothers wealth.

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

Whatsoeuer is solde in the shambles, eate ye, and aske no question for conscience sake.

26 του γαρ κυριου η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης

For the earth is the Lords, and all that therein is.

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 which beleeue not, call you to a feast, and if ye wil go, whatsoeuer is set before you, eate, 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 vnto you, This is sacrificed vnto idoles, eate it not, because of him that shewed it, and for the conscience (for the earth is the Lords, and all that therein is)

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

And the conscience, I say, not thine, but of that other: for why should my libertie be condemned of another mans conscience?

30 ει εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω

For if I through Gods benefite be partaker, why am I euill spoken of, for that wherefore I giue thankes?

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

Whether therefore ye eate, or drinke, or whatsoeuer ye doe, doe all to the glory of God.

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

Giue none offence, neither to the Iewes, nor to the Grecians, nor to the Church of God:

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

Euen as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine owne profite, but the profite of many, that they might be saued.
