Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 10

1 Οὐ θέλω ⸀γὰρὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν πάντες ὑπὸ τὴν νεφέλην ἦσαν καὶ πάντες διὰ τῆς θαλάσσης διῆλθον,

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 καὶ πάντες εἰς τὸν Μωϋσῆν ⸀ἐβαπτίσαντοἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ καὶ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ,

and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea;

3 καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ ⸂πνευματικὸν βρῶμα ἔφαγον

and all the same spiritual food did eat,

4 καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ ⸂πνευματικὸν ἔπιον πόμα, ἔπινον γὰρ ἐκ πνευματικῆς ἀκολουθούσης πέτρας, ἡ ⸂πέτρα δὲ ἦν ὁ Χριστός·

and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;

5 ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐν τοῖς πλείοσιν αὐτῶν ηὐδόκησεν ὁ θεός, κατεστρώθησαν γὰρ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

6 Ταῦτα δὲ τύποι ἡμῶν ἐγενήθησαν, εἰς τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἐπιθυμητὰς κακῶν, καθὼς κἀκεῖνοι ἐπεθύμησαν.

and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

7 μηδὲ εἰδωλολάτραι γίνεσθε, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν· ὥσπερ γέγραπται· Ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν.

Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, 'The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'

8 μηδὲ πορνεύωμεν, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ ἔπεσαν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες.

neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

9 μηδὲ ἐκπειράζωμεν τὸν ⸀Χριστόν ⸀καθώςτινες αὐτῶν ἐπείρασαν, καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ὄφεων ⸀ἀπώλλυντο

neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;

10 μηδὲ γογγύζετε, ⸀καθάπερτινὲς αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν, καὶ ἀπώλοντο ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ.

neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.

11 ταῦτα ⸀δὲ⸂τυπικῶς συνέβαινεν ἐκείνοις, ἐγράφη δὲ πρὸς νουθεσίαν ἡμῶν, εἰς οὓς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων ⸀κατήντηκεν (aiōn g165)

And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come, (aiōn g165)

12 ὥστε ὁ δοκῶν ἑστάναι βλεπέτω μὴ πέσῃ,

so that he who is thinking to stand — let him observe, lest he fall.

13 πειρασμὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ εἴληφεν εἰ μὴ ἀνθρώπινος· πιστὸς δὲ ὁ θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἐάσει ὑμᾶς πειρασθῆναι ὑπὲρ ὃ δύνασθε, ἀλλὰ ποιήσει σὺν τῷ πειρασμῷ καὶ τὴν ἔκβασιν τοῦ ⸀δύνασθαιὑπενεγκεῖν.

No temptation hath taken you — except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].

14 Διόπερ, ἀγαπητοί μου, φεύγετε ἀπὸ τῆς εἰδωλολατρίας.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;

15 ὡς φρονίμοις λέγω· κρίνατε ὑμεῖς ὅ φημι.

as to wise men I speak — judge ye what I say:

16 τὸ ποτήριον τῆς εὐλογίας ὃ εὐλογοῦμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία ⸂ἐστὶν τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ; τὸν ἄρτον ὃν κλῶμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐστιν;

The cup of the blessing that we bless — is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break — is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?

17 ὅτι εἷς ἄρτος, ἓν σῶμα οἱ πολλοί ἐσμεν, οἱ γὰρ πάντες ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἄρτου μετέχομεν.

because one bread, one body, are we the many — for we all of the one bread do partake.

18 βλέπετε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ σάρκα· ⸀οὐχοἱ ἐσθίοντες τὰς θυσίας κοινωνοὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου εἰσίν;

See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?

19 τί οὖν φημι; ὅτι ⸂εἰδωλόθυτόν τί ἐστιν, ἢ ὅτι εἴδωλόν τί ἐστιν;

what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? —

20 ἀλλʼ ὅτι ἃ ⸀θύουσιν δαιμονίοις ⸂καὶ οὐ θεῷ θύουσιν, οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς κοινωνοὺς τῶν δαιμονίων γίνεσθαι.

[no, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice — they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

21 οὐ δύνασθε ποτήριον κυρίου πίνειν καὶ ποτήριον δαιμονίων· οὐ δύνασθε τραπέζης κυρίου μετέχειν καὶ τραπέζης δαιμονίων.

Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons;

22 ἢ παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν κύριον; μὴ ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμεν;

do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?

23 ⸀Πάνταἔξεστιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντα συμφέρει. ⸁πάνταἔξεστιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντα οἰκοδομεῖ.

All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;

24 μηδεὶς τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ζητείτω ἀλλὰ τὸ τοῦ ⸀ἑτέρου

let no one seek his own — but each another's.

25 πᾶν τὸ ἐν μακέλλῳ πωλούμενον ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν,

Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,

26 τοῦ ⸂κυρίου γὰρ ἡ γῆ καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.

for the Lord's [is] the earth, and its fulness;

27 ⸀εἴτις καλεῖ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀπίστων καὶ θέλετε πορεύεσθαι, πᾶν τὸ παρατιθέμενον ὑμῖν ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν·

and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;

28 ἐὰν δέ τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ· Τοῦτο ⸀ἱερόθυτόνἐστιν, μὴ ἐσθίετε διʼ ἐκεῖνον τὸν μηνύσαντα καὶ τὴν ⸀συνείδησιν

and if any one may say to you, 'This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' — do not eat, because of that one who shewed [it], and of the conscience, for the Lord's [is] the earth and its fulness:

29 συνείδησιν δὲ λέγω οὐχὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀλλὰ τὴν τοῦ ἑτέρου· ἱνατί γὰρ ἡ ἐλευθερία μου κρίνεται ὑπὸ ἄλλης συνειδήσεως;

and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?

30 εἰ ἐγὼ χάριτι μετέχω, τί βλασφημοῦμαι ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εὐχαριστῶ;

and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?

31 Εἴτε οὖν ἐσθίετε εἴτε πίνετε εἴτε τι ποιεῖτε, πάντα εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ ποιεῖτε.

Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

32 ἀπρόσκοποι ⸂καὶ Ἰουδαίοις γίνεσθε καὶ Ἕλλησιν καὶ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ,

become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;

33 καθὼς κἀγὼ πάντα πᾶσιν ἀρέσκω, μὴ ζητῶν τὸ ἐμαυτοῦ ⸀σύμφορονἀλλὰ τὸ τῶν πολλῶν, ἵνα σωθῶσιν.

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