1 Corinthians - douay rheims

Chapter 10

¹ FOR I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
² And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
³ And did all eat the same spiritual food,
⁴ And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
⁵ But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
⁶ Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
⁷ Neither become ye idolaters, as 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 fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
¹⁰ Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
¹¹ Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
¹² Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
¹³ Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.
¹⁴ Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
¹⁵ I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
¹⁶ The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord ?
¹⁷ For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
¹⁸ Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar ?
¹⁹ What then ? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing ? Or, that the idol is any thing ?
²⁰ But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.
²¹ You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.
²² Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy ? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.
²³ All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
²⁴ Let no man seek his own, but that which is another's.
²⁵ Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience' sake.
²⁶ The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
²⁷ If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.
²⁸ But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for his sake that told it, and for conscience' sake.
²⁹ Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience ?
³⁰ If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks ?
³¹ Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
³² Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
³³ As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.

Chapter 10

¹ Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, 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 all ate the same spiritual food;
⁴ And all drank 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 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 Neither let us commit lewdness, 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 by serpents.
¹⁰ Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
¹¹ Now all these things happened to them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
¹² Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
¹³ 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 what ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
¹⁴ Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
¹⁵ I speak as to wise men; judge ye 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 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they who eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
¹⁹ What then do I say? 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 demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with demons.
²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of demons.
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 wealth.
²⁵ Whatever is sold in the provision market, that eat, asking no question for conscience' sake:
²⁶ For the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness.
²⁷ If any of them that believe not invites you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatever is set before you, eat, asking no question on account of conscience.
²⁸ But if any man shall 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 its fullness:
²⁹ Conscience, I say, not thy own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?
³⁰ For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
³¹ Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
³² Give no offense, 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 my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

¹ I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
² were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
³ all ate the same spiritual food;
⁴ all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
⁵ with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
⁶ these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
⁷ be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
⁸ let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
⁹ let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
¹⁰ grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
¹¹ all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
¹² let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall.
¹³ temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
¹⁴ my beloved, flee from idolatry.
¹⁵ speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
¹⁶ cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a sharing of the body of Christ?
¹⁷ there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
¹⁸ Israel according to the flesh. Don't those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
¹⁹ am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
²⁰ I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
²¹ can't both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can't both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
²² do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

²⁴ no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor's good.
²⁵ is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
²⁶ "the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness."
²⁷ if one of those who don't believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
²⁸ if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," don't eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness."
²⁹ I say, not your own, but the other's conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

³³ as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

Chapter 10

¹ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
² and all were baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
³ and all ate the same spiritual food,
⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed [them]: (now the rock was the Christ;)
⁵ yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert.
⁶ But these things happened [as] types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.
⁷ Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
⁹ Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.
¹⁰ Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
¹¹ Now all these things happened to them [as] types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.
¹² So that let him that thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
¹³ No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able [to bear], but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that [ye] should be able to bear [it].
¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
¹⁵ I speak as to intelligent [persons]: do *ye* judge what I say.
¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not [the] communion of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not [the] communion of the body of the Christ?
¹⁷ Because we, [being] many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.
¹⁸ See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?
¹⁹ What then do I say? that what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
²⁰ But that what [the nations] sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.
²¹ Ye cannot drink [the] Lord's cup, and [the] cup of demons: ye cannot partake of [the] Lord's table, and of [the] table of demons.
²² Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
²³ All things are lawful, but all are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all do not edify.
²⁴ Let no one seek his own [advantage], but that of the other.
²⁵ Everything sold in the shambles eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.
²⁶ For the earth [is] the Lord's and its fulness.
²⁷ But if any one of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are minded to go, all that is set before you eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.
²⁸ But if any one say to you, This is offered to holy purposes, do not eat, for his sake that pointed it out, and conscience sake;
²⁹ but conscience, I mean, not thine own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
³⁰ If *I* partake with thanksgiving, why am I spoken evil of for what *I* give thanks for?
³¹ Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all things to God's glory.
³² Give no occasion to stumbling, whether to Jews, or Greeks, or the assembly of God.
³³ Even as *I* also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

Chapter 10

¹ For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;
² And they all had baptism from Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
³ And they all took the same holy food;
⁴ And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.
⁵ But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.
⁶ Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.
⁷ Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.
⁸ Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.
⁹ And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.
¹⁰ And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.
¹¹ Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.
¹² So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.
¹³ You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.
¹⁴ For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.
¹⁵ What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.
¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?
¹⁷ Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.
¹⁸ See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?
¹⁹ Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?
²⁰ What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.
²¹ It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.
²² Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?
²³ We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.
²⁴ Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.
²⁵ Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;
²⁶ For the earth is the Lord's and all things in it.
²⁷ If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.
²⁸ But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:
²⁹ Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.
³⁰ But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.
³¹ So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
³² Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.
³³ Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.
