哥林多前书 10

警戒拜偶像的事

1 弟兄们，我不愿意你们不晓得，我们的祖宗从前都在云下，都从海中经过， 2 都在云里、海里受洗归了摩西； 3 并且都吃了一样的灵食， 4 也都喝了一样的灵水。所喝的，是出于随着他们的灵磐石；那磐石就是基督。 5 但他们中间多半是　神不喜欢的人，所以在旷野倒毙。 6 这些事都是我们的鉴戒，叫我们不要贪恋恶事，像他们那样贪恋的； 7 也不要拜偶像，像他们有人拜的。如经上所记：「百姓坐下吃喝，起来玩耍。」 8 我们也不要行奸淫，像他们有人行的，一天就倒毙了二万三千人； 9 也不要试探主t，像他们有人试探的，就被蛇所灭。 10 你们也不要发怨言，像他们有发怨言的，就被灭命的所灭。 11 他们遭遇这些事都要作为鉴戒，并且写在经上，正是警戒我们这末世的人。 12 所以，自己以为站得稳的，须要谨慎，免得跌倒。 13 你们所遇见的试探，无非是人所能受的。　神是信实的，必不叫你们受试探过于所能受的；在受试探的时候，总要给你们开一条出路，叫你们能忍受得住。

14 我所亲爱的弟兄啊，你们要逃避拜偶像的事。 15 我好像对明白人说的，你们要审察我的话。 16 我们所祝福的杯，岂不是同领基督的血吗？我们所擘开的饼，岂不是同领基督的身体吗？ 17 我们虽多，仍是一个饼，一个身体，因为我们都是分受这一个饼。 18 你们看属肉体的以色列人，那吃祭物的岂不是在祭坛上有分吗？ 19 我是怎么说呢？岂是说祭偶像之物算得什么呢？或说偶像算得什么呢？ 20 我乃是说，外邦人所献的祭是祭鬼，不是祭　神。我不愿意你们与鬼相交。 21 你们不能喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯，不能吃主的筵席又吃鬼的筵席。 22 我们可惹主的愤恨吗？我们比他还有能力吗？

凡事为荣耀　神而行

23 凡事都可行，但不都有益处。凡事都可行，但不都造就人。 24 无论何人，不要求自己的益处，乃要求别人的益处。 25 凡市上所卖的，你们只管吃，不要为良心的缘故问什么话， 26 因为地和其中所充满的都属乎主。 27 倘有一个不信的人请你们赴席，你们若愿意去，凡摆在你们面前的，只管吃，不要为良心的缘故问什么话。 28 若有人对你们说：「这是献过祭的物」，就要为那告诉你们的人，并为良心的缘故不吃。 29 我说的良心不是你的，乃是他的。我这自由为什么被别人的良心论断呢？ 30 我若谢恩而吃，为什么因我谢恩的物被人毁谤呢？ 31 所以，你们或吃或喝，无论做什么，都要为荣耀　神而行。 32 不拘是犹太人，是希腊人，是　神的教会，你们都不要使他跌倒； 33 就好像我凡事都叫众人喜欢，不求自己的益处，只求众人的益处，叫他们得救。

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.
