1 Brethren I wolde not that ye shuld be ignoraunt of this how yt oure fathers were all vnder a cloude and all passed thorow the see 2 and were all baptised vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see: 3 and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate 4 and did all drincke of one maner of spirituall drincke. And they dranke of that spretuall rocke that folowed them which rocke was Christ. 5 But in many of them had god no delite. For they were overthrowen in the wildernes. 6 These are ensamples to vs that we shuld not lust after evyll thinges as they lusted 7 Nether be ye worshippers o f Images as were some of them accordynge as it is written: The people sate doune to eate and drynke and rose vp agayne to playe. 8 Nether let vs comit fornicacion as some of them committed fornicacion and were destroyed in one daye .xxiii. thousande. 9 Nether let vs tempte Christ as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpentes. 10 Nether murmure ye as some of them murmured and were destroyed of ye destroyer 11 All these thinges happened vnto them for ensamples and were written to put vs in remembraunce whom the endes of the worlde are come apon. 12 Wherfore let hym that thynketh he stodeth take hede least he fall. 13 There hath none other temptacion taken you but soche as foloweth ye nature of ma. But God is faythfull which shall not suffer you to be tempted above youre strenght: but shall in the myddes of the temptacion make awaye to escape out. 14 Wherfore my deare beloued fle from worshippynge of ydols. 15 I speake as vnto them which have discrecion Iudge ye what I saye. 16 Ys not the cuppe of blessinge which we blesse partakynge of ye bloude of Christ? ys not the breed which we breake partetakynge of the body of Christ? 17 because that we (though we be many) yet are one breed and one bodye in as moch as we all are partetakers of one breed. 18 Beholde Israhell which walketh carnally. Are not they which eate of the sacrifyse partetakers of the aultre? 19 What saye I then? that the ymage is eny thinge? or that it which is offered to ymages is eny thinge? 20 Nay but I saye that those thinges which the gentyle offer they offer to devyls and not to god. And I wolde not that ye shuld have fellishippe with ye devils 21 Ye canot drincke of the cup of the lorde and of yt cup of ye deuyls. Ye cnanot be partetakers of the lordes table and of the table of deuelles. 1 Corinthians 10:1-21, Tyndale Bible of 1526. Public domain.
