Глава 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.
