:
1
For I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
5
Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
6
Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
7
Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.”
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
8
We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
9
We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents,
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
11
Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
13
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
16
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
17
Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
18
Consider the people of Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar?
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
19
What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
20
No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
21
You 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.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
23
“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
25
Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
27
If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
28
But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
29
I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience?
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
30
If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
(ESV)
1 Corinthians
10
:
33
just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
