1. Korinťanom 10

1 Nechcem, bratia, aby ste nevedeli, že všetci naši otcovia boli pod oblakom, všetci prešli cez more2 a všetci boli v oblaku a v mori pokrstení v Mojžišovi,3 všetci jedli ten istý duchovný pokrm4 a všetci pili ten istý duchovný nápoj, lebo pili z duchovnej skaly, ktorá ich sprevádzala, a tou skalou bol Kristus.5 Ale vo väčšine z nich nemal Boh zaľúbenie, veď popadali na púšti.6 To sa stalo ako predobraz pre nás, aby sme neboli žiadostiví zla, ako boli žiadostiví oni.7 Ani modlármi nebuďte, ako niektorí z nich; ako je napísané: „Ľud sa posadil, aby jedol a pil. Potom vstali a zabávali sa.“8 Ani nesmilnime, ako niektorí z nich smilnili, a padlo ich za jeden deň dvadsaťtritisíc.9 Ani nepokúšajme Krista, ako niektorí z nich pokúšali, a zahynuli od hadov.10 Ani nerepcite, ako niektorí z nich reptali, a zahynuli od zhubcu.11 A toto sa im stalo ako predobraz a bolo napísané ako napomenutie pre nás, ktorých zastihol koniec vekov.12 Preto kto si myslí, že stojí, nech si dáva pozor, aby nepadol.13 Skúška, ktorá na vás dolieha, je iba ľudská. A Boh je verný. On vás nedovolí skúšať nad vaše sily, ale so skúškou dá aj schopnosť, aby ste mohli vydržať.14 Preto, moji milovaní, utekajte pred modloslužbou.15 Hovorím vám ako rozumným. Posúďte sami, čo hovorím:16 Nie je kalich dobrorečenia, ktorému dobrorečíme, účasťou na Kristovej krvi? A chlieb, ktorý lámeme, nie je účasťou na Kristovom tele?17 Keďže je jeden chlieb, my mnohí sme jedno telo, lebo všetci máme podiel na jednom chlebe.18 Pozrite na Izrael podľa tela: nemajú azda tí, čo jedia obety, účasť aj na oltári?19 Čo tým chcem povedať? Že mäso obetované modlám je niečo? Alebo že modla je niečo?20 Ale to, čo obetujú, obetujú zlým duchom, a nie Bohu. A ja nechcem, aby ste boli spoločníkmi zlých duchov.21 Nemôžete piť Pánov kalich aj kalich zlých duchov; nemôžete mať podiel na Pánovom stole aj na stole zlých duchov.22 Alebo chceme dráždiť Pána? Sme azda silnejší ako on?23 „Slobodno všetko.“ Ale nie všetko osoží. „Slobodno všetko.“ Ale nie všetko buduje.24 Nech nik nehľadá vlastné záujmy, ale záujmy iného.25 Jedzte všetko, čo dostať v jatkách, a na nič sa nevypytujte kvôli svedomiu.26 Veď Pánova je zem i všetko, čo ju napĺňa.27 Ak vás niekto z neveriacich pozve a chcete ísť, jedzte všetko, čo vám predložia, a na nič sa nevypytujte kvôli svedomiu.28 Ale keby vám niekto povedal: „Toto bolo obetované modlám,“ nejedzte to kvôli tomu, čo vás upozornil, a kvôli svedomiu,29 pričom nemyslím na tvoje vlastné svedomie, ale na svedomie toho druhého. Veď prečo by malo svedomie iného odsúdiť moju slobodu?30 A keď ja niečo s vďakou požívam, prečo by ma mal niekto tupiť za to, za čo ja vzdávam vďaky?!31 Či teda jete, či pijete, či čokoľvek iné robíte, všetko robte na Božiu slávu.32 Nebuďte na pohoršenie ani Židom, ani Grékom ani Božej cirkvi,33 ako sa aj ja chcem páčiť všetkým vo všetkom a nehľadám, čo mne vyhovuje, ale čo osoží mnohým, aby boli spasení.

1 CORINTHIANS 10

Don't Worship Idols

1  t Friends, I want to remind you that all our ancestors walked under the cloud and went through the sea. 2 This was like being baptized and becoming followers of Moses. 3 t All of them also ate the same spiritual food 4 t and drank the same spiritual drink, which flowed from the spiritual rock that followed them. That rock was Christ.

5 t But most of them did not please God. So they died, and their bodies were scattered all over the desert.
6 What happened to them is a warning to keep us from wanting to do the same evil things. 7 t They worshiped idols, just as the Scriptures say, “The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up to dance around.” So don't worship idols. 8 t Some of those people did shameful things, and in a single day about 23,000 died. Don't do shameful things as they did. 9 t And don't try to test Christ, t as some of them did and were later bitten by poisonous snakes. 10 t Don't even grumble, as some of them did and were killed by the destroying angel.

11 These things happened to them as a warning to us. All this was written in the Scriptures to teach us who live in these last days.
12 Even if you think you can stand up to temptation, be careful not to fall.

13 t You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and he will show you how to escape from your temptations.
14 My friends, you must keep away from idols. 15 I am speaking to you as people who have enough sense to know what I am talking about. 16 t When we drink from the cup we ask God to bless, isn't that sharing in the blood of Christ? When we eat the bread we break, isn't that sharing in the body of Christ?

17 By sharing in the same loaf of bread, we become one body, even though there are many of us.
18  t t Aren't the people of Israel sharing in the worship when they gather around the altar and eat the sacrifices offered there? 19 Am I saying that either the idols or the food sacrificed to them is anything at all? 20 t No, I am not! This food is really sacrificed to demons and not to God. I don't want you to have anything to do with demons. 21 You cannot drink from the cup of demons and still drink from the Lord's cup. You cannot eat at the table of demons and still eat at the Lord's table.

22 t We would make the Lord jealous if we did this. And we are not stronger than the Lord.

Always Honor God


23  t Some of you say, “We can do whatever we want to!” But I tell you not everything may be good or helpful. 24 We should think about others and not about ourselves. 25 However, when you buy meat in the market, go ahead and eat it. Keep your conscience clear by not asking where the meat came from.

26 t The Scriptures say, “The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord.”
27 If an unbeliever invites you to dinner, and you want to go, then go. Eat whatever you are served. Don't cause a problem for someone's conscience by asking where the food came from. 28-29 But if you are told it has been sacrificed to idols, don't cause a problem by eating it. I don't mean a problem for yourself, but for the one who told you. Why should my freedom be limited by someone else's conscience?

30 If I give thanks for what I eat, why should anyone accuse me of doing wrong?
31 When you eat or drink or do anything else, always do it to honor God. 32 Don't cause problems for Jews or Greeks or anyone else who belongs to God's church. 33 I always try to please others instead of myself, in the hope that many of them will be saved.
