Первое послание к Коринфянам 10
1 Не хощу же вас не ведети, братие, яко отцы наши вси под облаком быша, и вси сквозе море проидоша:2 и вси в моисеа крестишася во облаце и в мори:3 и вси тожде брашно духовное ядоша:4 и вси тожде пиво духовное пиша, пияху бо от духовнаго последующаго камене: камень же бе Христос.5 Но не во множайших их благоволи Бог, поражени бо быша в пустыни.6 Сия же образи нам быша, яко не быти нам похотником злых, якоже и они похотеша.7 Ни идолослужителе бывайте, якоже нецыи от них, якоже есть писано: седоша людие ясти и пити, и восташа играти.8 Ниже соблудим, якоже нецыи от них соблудиша, и падоша во един день двадесять три тысящы.9 Ни да искушаим Христа, якоже нецыи от них искусиша и от змий погибоша.10 Ни ропщите, якоже нецыи от них ропташа и погибоша от всегубителя.11 Сия же вся образи прилучахуся онем: писана же быша в научение наше, в нихже концы век достигоша.12 Темже мняйся стояти да блюдется, да не падет.13 Искушение вас не достиже, точию человеческое: верен же Бог, иже не оставит вас искуситися паче, еже можете, но сотворит со искушением и избытие, яко возмощи вам понести.14 Темже, братие моя возлюбленная, бегайте от идолослужения.15 Яко мудрым глаголю: судите вы, еже глаголю:16 чаша благословения, юже благословляем, не общение ли крове Христовы есть? хлеб, егоже ломим, не общение ли тела Христова есть?17 Яко един хлеб, едино тело есмы мнози: вси бо от единаго хлеба причащаемся.18 Видите израиля по плоти: не ядущии ли жертвы общницы олтареви суть?19 Что убо глаголю? яко идол что есть? или идоложертвенное что есть?20 Но зане, яже жрут языцы, бесом жрут, а не Богови: не хощу же вас общников быти бесом.21 Не можете чашу Господню пити и чашу бесовскую: не можете трапезе Господней причащатися и трапезе бесовстей.22 Или раздражаем Господа? Еда крепчайши его есмы?23 Вся ми леть суть, но не вся на пользу: вся ми леть суть, но не вся назидают.24 Никтоже своего си да ищет, но еже ближняго кийждо.25 Все, еже на торжищи продаемое, ядите, ничтоже сумнящеся, за совесть:26 Господня бо земля и исполнение ея.27 Аще ли кто от неверных призывает вы, и хощете ити, все предлагаемое вам ядите, ничтоже сумнящеся, за совесть.28 Аще ли же кто вам речет: сие идоложертвенно есть: не ядите за оного поведавшаго, и совесть: Господня бо земля и исполнение ея.29 Совесть же глаголю не свою, но другаго: вскую бо свобода моя судится от иныя совести?30 Аще аз благодатию причащаюся, почто хулу приемлю, о немже аз благодарю?31 Аще убо ясте, аще ли пиете, аще ли ино что творите, вся во славу Божию творите.32 Безпреткновени бывайте иудеем и еллином и Церкви Божией,33 якоже и аз во всем всем угождаю, не иский своея пользы, но многих, да спасутся.
1 Corinthians 10
Learning from Israel’s Failures
1 For I do not want you to be unaware,t brothers and sisters,t that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,2 and all were baptizeds into 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 were all drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.5 But God was not pleased with most of them, for they were cut down in the wilderness.6 These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.7 So 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.”ts8 And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and twenty-three thousand died in a single day.s9 And let us not put Christss to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by snakes.s10 And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.ts11 These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.12 So let the one who thinks he is standing be careful that he does not fall.
13 No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others.t And God is faithful: Het will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear,t but with the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it.
Avoid Idol Feasts
14 So then, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.15 I am speaking to thoughtful people. Consider what I say.16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ?17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread.18 Look at the people of Israel.t Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?19 Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything?20 No, I mean that what the pagans sacrificet is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
22 Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?t
23 “Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,”s but not everything builds others up.t24 Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person.25 Eat anything that is sold in the marketplace without questions of conscience,26 for the earth and its abundance are the Lord’s.s27 If an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is served without asking questions of conscience.28 But if someone says to you, “This is from a sacrifice,” do not eat, because of the one who told you and because of consciences –29 I do not mean yours but the other person’s. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience?30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the foodt that I give thanks for?31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.32 Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God,33 just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefitt of many, so that they may be saved.
