1 Moreover  , brothers  , I would  not  that you  should be ignorant  , how that  all  our  fathers  were  under  the cloud  , and  all  passed  through  the sea  2 And  were  all  baptized  to  Moses  in  the cloud  and  in  the sea  3 And  did  all  eat  the same  spiritual  meat  4 And  did  all  drink  the same  spiritual  drink  : for  they drank  of  that spiritual  Rock  that followed them  : and  that Rock  was  Christ  5 But  with  many  of them  God  was  not  well pleased  : for  they were overthrown  in  the wilderness  6 Now  these things  were  our  examples  , to the intent  we  should  not  lust after evil  things  , as  they also  lusted  7 Neither  be  idolaters  , as  [were] some  of them  ; as  it is written  , The people  sat down  to eat  and  drink  , and  rose up  to play  8 Neither  let us commit fornication  , as  some  of them  committed  , and  fell  in  one  day  three  and twenty  thousand  9 Neither  let us tempt  Christ  , as  some  of them  also  tempted  , and  were destroyed  of  serpents  10 Neither  murmur you  , as  some  of them  also  murmured  , and  were destroyed  of  the destroyer  11 Now  all  these things  happened  to them  for ensamples  : and  they are written  for  our  admonition  , on  who  the ends  of the world  are come  12 why  let  him that thinks  he stands  take care  in case  he fall  13 There has  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  you are able  ; but  will  with  the temptation  also  make  a way to escape  , that you  may be able  to bear  14 why  , my  dearly beloved  , flee  from  idolatry  15 I speak  as  to wise men  ; judge  you  what  I say  16 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 For  we  [being] many  are  one  bread  , [and] one  body  : for  we are  all  partakers  of  that one  bread  18 See  Israel  after  the flesh  : are  not  they  which eat  of the sacrifices  partakers  of the altar  19 What  say I  then  ? that  the idol  is  any thing  , or  that  which is offered in sacrifice to idols  is  any thing  20 But  I [say], that  the things which  the Gentiles  sacrifice  , they sacrifice  to devils  , and  not  to God  : and  I would  not  that you  should have  fellowship  with devils  21 You cannot  +  drink  the cup  of the Lord  , and  the cup  of devils  : you cannot  +  be partakers  of the Lord's  table  , and  of the table  of devils  22 Do we provoke  +  the Lord  to jealousy  ? are we  stronger than  +  he  23 All things  are lawful  for me  , but  all things  are  not  expedient  : all things  are lawful  for me  , but  all things  edify  not  24 Let  no man  seek  his own  , but  every man  another's  25 Anything  is sold  in  the shambles  , [that] eat  , asking  no  question  for  conscience  sake  26 For  the earth  [is] the Lord's  , and  the fullness  of it  27 +  If any  of them that believe not  bid  you  [to a feast], and  you be disposed  to go  ; anything  is set before  you  , eat  , asking  no  question  for  conscience  sake  28 But  if  any man  say  to you  , This  is  offered in sacrifice to idols  , eat  not  for  his sake  that showed it  , and  for conscience sake  : for  the earth  [is] the Lord's  , and  the fullness  of it  29 Conscience  ,  I say  , not  your own  , but  of the other  : for  why  is  my  liberty  judged  of  another  [man's] conscience  30 For  if  I  by grace  be a partaker  , why  am I evil spoken of  for that  for which  I  give thanks  31 Whether  therefore  you eat  , or  drink  , or  anything  you do  , do  all  to  the glory  of God  32 Give  none offence  , neither  to the Jews  , nor  to the Gentiles  , nor  to the church  of God  33 Even as  I  please  all  [men] in all  [things], not  seeking  mine own  profit  , but  the [profit  ] of many  , that  they may be saved
