10:1

Ου θελω γαρ υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι οι πατερες ημων παντες υπο την νεφελην ησαν και παντες δια της θαλασσης διηλθον

For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

10:2

και παντες εις τον Μωυσην εβαπτισαντο εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση

and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

10:3

και παντες το αυτο πνευματικον βρωμα εφαγον

and did all eat the same spiritual food;

10:4

και παντες το αυτο πνευματικον επιον πομα επινον γαρ εκ πνευματικης ακολουθουσης πετρας η πετρα δε ην ο Χριστος

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.

10:5

αλλ ουκ εν τοις πλειοσιν αυτων ευδοκησεν ο Θεος κατεστρωθησαν γαρ εν τη ερημω

Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

10:6

Ταυτα δε τυποι ημων εγενηθησαν εις το μη ειναι ημας επιθυμητας κακων καθως κακεινοι επεθυμησαν

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

10:7

μηδε ειδωλολατραι γινεσθε καθως τινες αυτων ωσπερ γεγραπται Εκαθισεν ο λαος φαγειν και πειν και ανεστησαν παιζειν

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

10:8

μηδε πορνευωμεν καθως τινες αυτων επορνευσαν και επεσαν μια ημερα εικοσι τρεις χιλιαδες

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

10:9

μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον Χριστον καθως τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων απωλλυντο

Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.

10:10

μηδε γογγυζετε καθαπερ τινες αυτων εγογγυσαν και απωλοντο υπο του ολοθρευτου

Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.

10:11

Ταυτα δε τυπικως συνεβαινεν εκεινοις εγραφη δε προς νουθεσιαν ημων εις ους τα τελη των αιωνων κατηντηκεν

Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

10:12

Ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

10:13

πειρασμος υμας ουκ ειληφεν ει μη ανθρωπινος πιστος δε ο Θεος ος ουκ εασει υμας πειρασθηναι υπερ ο δυνασθε αλλα ποιησει συν τω πειρασμω και την εκβασιν του δυνασθαι υπενεγκειν

There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

10:14

Διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατριας

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

10:15

ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι

I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

10:16

Το ποτηριον της ευλογιας ο ευλογουμεν ουχι κοινωνια εστιν του αιματος του Χριστου τον αρτον ον κλωμεν ουχι κοινωνια του σωματος του Χριστου εστιν

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ?

10:17

οτι εις αρτος εν σωμα οι πολλοι εσμεν οι γαρ παντες εκ του ενος αρτου μετεχομεν

seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread.

10:18

βλεπετε τον Ισραηλ κατα σαρκα ουχ οι εσθιοντες τας θυσιας κοινωνοι του θυσιαστηριου εισιν

Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar?

10:19

Τι ουν φημι οτι ειδωλοθυτον τι εστιν η οτι ειδωλον τι εστιν

What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

10:20

αλλ οτι α θυουσιν δαιμονιοις και ου Θεω θυουσιν ου θελω δε υμας κοινωνους των δαιμονιων γινεσθαι

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons.

10:21

ου δυνασθε ποτηριον Κυριου πινειν και ποτηριον δαιμονιων ου δυνασθε τραπεζης Κυριου μετεχειν και τραπεζης δαιμονιων

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

10:22

η παραζηλουμεν τον Κυριον μη ισχυροτεροι αυτου εσμεν

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

10:23

Παντα εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα συμφερει Παντα εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα οικοδομει

All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify.

10:24

μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου

Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor’s good.

10:25

Παν το εν μακελλω πωλουμενον εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake;

10:26

Του Κυριου γαρ Η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης

for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

10:27

Ει τις καλει υμας των απιστων και θελετε πορευεσθαι παν το παρατιθεμενον υμιν εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν

If one of them that believe not biddeth you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake.

10:28

εαν δε τις υμιν ειπη Τουτο ιεροθυτον εστιν μη εσθιετε δι εκεινον τον μηνυσαντα και την συνειδησιν

But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience’ sake:

10:29

συνειδησιν δε λεγω ουχι την εαυτου αλλα την του ετερου ινατι γαρ η ελευθερια μου κρινεται υπο αλλης συνειδησεως

conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

10:30

ει εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

10:31

Ειτε ουν εσθιετε ειτε πινετε ειτε τι ποιειτε παντα εις δοξαν Θεου ποιειτε

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

10:32

απροσκοποι και Ιουδαιοις γινεσθε και Ελλησιν και τη εκκλησια του Θεου

Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

10:33

καθως καγω παντα πασιν αρεσκω μη ζητων το εμαυτου συμφορον αλλα το των πολλων ινα σωθωσιν

even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
