哥林多前书 10

以史为鉴

1 弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我们的祖宗都曾经在云下，都曾经从海中经过，2 都曾经在云里在海里受洗归于摩西。3 他们都吃了一样的灵粮，4 都喝了一样的灵水；他们所喝的，是从那随着他们的灵磐石那里来的，这磐石就是基督。5 但他们大多数的人，都得不到 神的喜悦，因此他们都死在旷野。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。7 你们也不可拜偶像，像他们有些人那样；正如经上所记：“人民坐下吃喝，起来玩乐。”8 我们也不可淫乱，像他们有些人那样，一天就死了二万三千人。9 我们也不可试探主，像他们有些人那样，结果就被蛇咬死了。10 你们也不可发怨言，像他们有些人那样，就被那毁灭者所灭。11 这些事发生在他们身上，作为鉴戒，并且记下来，为了要警戒我们这些末世的人。12 所以，那自以为站得稳的，应当谨慎，免得跌倒。13 你们所受的试探，无非是人受得起的； 神是信实的，他必不容许你们受试探过于你们承受得起的，而且在受试探的时候，必定给你们开一条出路，使你们能忍受得住。
不可喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯14 所以，我所亲爱的，你们要远避拜偶像的事。15 我是对明白事理的人说的，我所说的你们要自己判断。16 我们为福杯祝祷的时候，难道不是共享基督的血吗？我们擘饼的时候，难道不是共享基督的身体吗？17 因为事实上只有一个饼，我们人数虽多，还是一个身体，因为我们都是分享同一个饼。18 你们看看按肉身是以色列人，那些吃祭物的不就是与祭坛有分吗？19 我说的是甚么意思呢？偶像算得甚么，还是祭过偶像的食物算得甚么？20 我是说，教外人所祭的是鬼，不是献给 神；我却不愿意你们与鬼来往。21 你们不能喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯，你们不能参加主的筵席又参加鬼的筵席。22 难道我们要激起主的忿怒吗？我们比他更强吗？
凡事都要荣耀 神23 甚么事情都可以作，但不是都有益处。甚么事情都可以作，但不是都能造就人。24 人不要求自己的好处，却要求别人的好处。25 肉食市场所卖的一切，你们只管吃，不要为了良心的缘故问甚么，26 因为地和地上所充满的都是属于主的。27 如果有不信的人邀请你们吃饭，你们也愿意去，凡摆在你们面前的，都可以吃，不要为了良心的缘故问甚么。28 但是如果有人告诉你们：“这是献过祭的食物。”那么，为了那告诉你们的人，也为了良心的缘故，就不要吃。29 我说的良心，不是你的，而是他的。为甚么我的自由要受别人的良心论断呢？30 我若存着感恩的心吃了，为甚么我因着我所感恩的食物被人毁谤呢？31 所以，你们或吃喝，或作甚么，一切都要为 神的荣耀而行。32 无论是犹太人，是希腊人，是 神的教会，你们总不可使他们跌倒；33 就好像我所作的一切，都是要使大家喜悦，不是要求自己的好处，而是要求别人的好处，为了要使他们得救。

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.
