| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3and all ate the same spiritual food; |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY." |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake; |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience' sake. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake; |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience? |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks? |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. |
