Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 10

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

Now 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 {VAR1: εβαπτισαντο } {VAR2: εβαπτισθησαν } εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση

and were all baptized into Moses by the cloud and by the sea;

3 και παντες {VAR1: [το αυτο] } {VAR2: το αυτο } πνευματικον βρωμα εφαγον

and did all eat the same spiritual food;

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

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and that rock was an emblem of Christ.

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

But with the greater part of them God was displeased: for they were destroyed in the wilderness.

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

Now these things were examples for us, that we might not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

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

And be ye not idolaters, as some of them were; 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 επεσαν μια ημερα εικοσι τρεις χιλιαδες

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

9 μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον {VAR1: κυριον } {VAR2: χριστον } καθως τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων απωλλυντο

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him, and were destroyed by serpents: nor murmur,

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

as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 ταυτα δε τυπικως συνεβαινεν εκεινοις εγραφη δε προς νουθεσιαν ημων εις ους τα τελη των αιωνων κατηντηκεν (aiōn g165)

Now all these things happened to them as examples: and are written for our admonition, on whom the last ages are come. (aiōn g165)

12 ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση

Wherefore let him, that thinks he standeth, take heed least 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 υπενεγκειν

No temptation has yet taken you but what is common to man: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to sustain; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

14 διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατριας

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, flee from idolatry.

15 ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι

I speak to you as to men of understanding: and judge ye what I say,

16 το ποτηριον της ευλογιας ο ευλογουμεν ουχι κοινωνια εστιν του αιματος του χριστου 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 the bread is one, and we though many are one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

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

Consider Israel according to the flesh, Are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?

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

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that what is sacrificed to an idol is in itself any thing to stumble at?

20 αλλ οτι α θυουσιν {VAR1: [τα εθνη] } δαιμονιοις και ου θεω {VAR1: θυουσιν } {VAR2: [θυουσιν] } ου θελω δε υμας κοινωνους των δαιμονιων γινεσθαι

No: but this I say, that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.

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

And I would not have you partakers with demons. Ye cannot drink of the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, 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 εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα συμφερει παντα εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα οικοδομει

If all things be lawful for me, yet all things are not expedient: all things may be lawful for me, but all things do not edify.

24 μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου

Let no one seek his own only, but every one another's benefit.

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

Eat then whatever is sold in the shambles, asking no questions for conscience sake:

26 του κυριου γαρ η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης

for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

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

and if any of the unbelievers invite you to an entertainment, and ye have a mind to go, whatever is set before you, eat, asking no questions for conscience-sake.

28 εαν δε τις υμιν ειπη τουτο ιεροθυτον εστιν μη εσθιετε δι εκεινον τον μηνυσαντα και την συνειδησιν

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, ---eat it not; for his sake who informed thee, and for conscience-sake: for, as I said, the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, so that thou mayst have food enough without it.

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

Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's; for why is my liberty to be judged by another man's conscience?

30 ει εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω

And if I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed 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 και ιουδαιοις γινεσθε και ελλησιν και τη εκκλησια του θεου

Behave inoffensively both to the Jews, and to the Greeks, and to the church of God.

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

Even as I also endeavour to please all men in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
