1 he bhrAtaraH, asmatpitR^ipuruShAnadhi yUyaM yadaj nAtA na tiShThateti mama vA nChA, te sarvve meghAdhaHsthitA babhUvuH sarvve samudramadhyena vavrajuH,

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 sarvve mUsAmuddishya meghasamudrayo rmajjitA babhUvuH

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

3 sarvva ekam AtmikaM bhakShyaM bubhujira ekam AtmikaM peyaM papushcha

And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 yataste. anucharata AtmikAd achalAt labdhaM toyaM papuH so. achalaH khrIShTaeva|

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

5 tathA satyapi teShAM madhye. adhikeShu lokeShvIshvaro na santutoSheti hetoste prantare nipAtitAH|

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

6 etasmin te. asmAkaM nidarshanasvarUpA babhUvuH; ataste yathA kutsitAbhilAShiNo babhUvurasmAbhistathA kutsitAbhilAShibhi rna bhavitavyaM|

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

7 likhitamAste, lokA bhoktuM pAtu nchopavivishustataH krIDitumutthitA itayanena prakAreNa teShAM kaishchid yadvad devapUjA kR^itA yuShmAbhistadvat na kriyatAM|

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 aparaM teShAM kaishchid yadvad vyabhichAraH kR^itastena chaikasmin dine trayoviMshatisahasrANi lokA nipAtitAstadvad asmAbhi rvyabhichAro na karttavyaH|

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

9 teShAM kechid yadvat khrIShTaM parIkShitavantastasmAd bhuja Ngai rnaShTAshcha tadvad asmAbhiH khrIShTo na parIkShitavyaH|

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

10 teShAM kechid yathA vAkkalahaM kR^itavantastatkAraNAt hantrA vinAshitAshcha yuShmAbhistadvad vAkkalaho na kriyatAM|

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

11 tAn prati yAnyetAni jaghaTire tAnyasmAkaM nidarshanAni jagataH sheShayuge varttamAnAnAm asmAkaM shikShArthaM likhitAni cha babhUvuH| (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 ataeva yaH kashchid susthiraMmanyaH sa yanna patet tatra sAvadhAno bhavatu|

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

13 mAnuShikaparIkShAtiriktA kApi parIkShA yuShmAn nAkrAmat, Ishvarashcha vishvAsyaH so. atishaktyAM parIkShAyAM patanAt yuShmAn rakShiShyati, parIkShA cha yad yuShmAbhiH soDhuM shakyate tadarthaM tayA saha nistArasya panthAnaM nirUpayiShyati|

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 he priyabhrAtaraH, devapUjAto dUram apasarata|

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 ahaM yuShmAn vij nAn matvA prabhAShe mayA yat kathyate tad yuShmAbhi rvivichyatAM|

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

16 yad dhanyavAdapAtram asmAbhi rdhanyaM gadyate tat kiM khrIShTasya shoNitasya sahabhAgitvaM nahi? yashcha pUpo. asmAbhi rbhajyate sa kiM khrIShTasya vapuShaH sahabhAgitvaM nahi?

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 vayaM bahavaH santo. apyekapUpasvarUpA ekavapuHsvarUpAshcha bhavAmaH, yato vayaM sarvva ekapUpasya sahabhAginaH|

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

18 yUyaM shArIrikam isrAyelIyavaMshaM nirIkShadhvaM| ye balInAM mAMsAni bhu njate te kiM yaj navedyAH sahabhAgino na bhavanti?

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

19 ityanena mayA kiM kathyate? devatA vAstavikI devatAyai balidAnaM vA vAstavikaM kiM bhavet?

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

20 tannahi kintu bhinnajAtibhi rye balayo dIyante ta IshvarAya tannahi bhUtebhyaeva dIyante tasmAd yUyaM yad bhUtAnAM sahabhAgino bhavathetyahaM nAbhilaShAmi|

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 prabhoH kaMsena bhUtAnAmapi kaMsena pAnaM yuShmAbhirasAdhyaM; yUyaM prabho rbhojyasya bhUtAnAmapi bhojyasya sahabhAgino bhavituM na shaknutha|

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 vayaM kiM prabhuM sparddhiShyAmahe? vayaM kiM tasmAd balavantaH?

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

23 mAM prati sarvvaM karmmApratiShiddhaM kintu na sarvvaM hitajanakaM sarvvam apratiShiddhaM kintu na sarvvaM niShThAjanakaM|

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

24 AtmahitaH kenApi na cheShTitavyaH kintu sarvvaiH parahitashcheShTitavyaH|

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

25 ApaNe yat krayyaM tad yuShmAbhiH saMvedasyArthaM kimapi na pR^iShTvA bhujyatAM

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

26 yataH pR^ithivI tanmadhyastha ncha sarvvaM parameshvarasya|

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

27 aparam avishvAsilokAnAM kenachit nimantritA yUyaM yadi tatra jigamiShatha tarhi tena yad yad upasthApyate tad yuShmAbhiH saMvedasyArthaM kimapi na pR^iShTvA bhujyatAM|

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 kintu tatra yadi kashchid yuShmAn vadet bhakShyametad devatAyAH prasAda iti tarhi tasya j nApayituranurodhAt saMvedasyArtha ncha tad yuShmAbhi rna bhoktavyaM| pR^ithivI tanmadhyastha ncha sarvvaM parameshvarasya,

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 satyametat, kintu mayA yaH saMvedo nirddishyate sa tava nahi parasyaiva|

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

30 anugrahapAtreNa mayA dhanyavAdaM kR^itvA yad bhujyate tatkAraNAd ahaM kuto nindiShye?

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

31 tasmAd bhojanaM pAnam anyadvA karmma kurvvadbhi ryuShmAbhiH sarvvameveshvarasya mahimnaH prakAshArthaM kriyatAM|

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

32 yihUdIyAnAM bhinnajAtIyAnAm Ishvarasya samAjasya vA vighnajanakai ryuShmAbhi rna bhavitavyaM|

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

33 ahamapyAtmahitam acheShTamAno bahUnAM paritrANArthaM teShAM hitaM cheShTamAnaH sarvvaviShaye sarvveShAM tuShTikaro bhavAmItyanenAhaM yadvat khrIShTasyAnugAmI tadvad yUyaM mamAnugAmino bhavata|

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