1 Corintios 10
Bible in Basic English
1For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;
2And they all had baptism from Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3And they all took the same holy food;
4And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.
5But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.
6Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.
7Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.
8Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.
9And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.
10And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.
11Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.
12So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.
13You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.
14For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.
15What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.
16The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?
17Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.
18See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?
19Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?
20What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.
21It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.
22Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?
23We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.
24Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.
25Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;
26For the earth is the Lord's and all things in it.
27If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.
28But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:
29Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.
30But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.
31So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.
33Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.
Reina-Valera 1909
1PORQUE no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis que nuestros padres todos estuvieron bajo la nube, y todos pasaron la mar;
2Y todos en Moisés fueron bautizados en la nube y en la mar;
3Y todos comieron la misma vianda espiritual;
4Y todos bebieron la misma bebida espiritual; porque bebían de la piedra espiritual que los seguía, y la piedra era Cristo:
5Mas de muchos de ellos no se agradó Dios; por lo cual fueron postrados en el desierto.
6Empero estas cosas fueron en figura de nosotros, para que no codiciemos cosas malas, como ellos codiciaron.
7Ni seáis honradores de ídolos, como algunos de ellos; según está escrito: Sentóse el pueblo á comer y á beber, y se levantaron á jugar.
8Ni forniquemos, como algunos de ellos fornicaron, y cayeron en un día veinte y tres mil.
9Ni tentemos á Cristo, como también algunos de ellos le tentaron, y perecieron por las serpientes.
10Ni murmuréis, como algunos de ellos murmuraron, y perecieron por el destructor.
11Y estas cosas les acontecieron en figura; y son escritas para nuestra admonición, en quienes los fines de los siglos han parado.
12Así que, el que piensa estar firme, mire no caiga.
13No os ha tomado tentación, sino humana: mas fiel es Dios, que no os dejará ser tentados más de lo que podéis llevar; antes dará también juntamente con la tentación la salida, para que podáis aguantar.
14Por tanto, amados míos, huid de la idolatría.
15Como á sabios hablo; juzgad vosotros lo que digo.
16La copa de bendición que bendecimos, ¿no es la comunión de la sangre de Cristo? El pan que partimos, ¿no es la comunión del cuerpo de Cristo?
17Porque un pan, es que muchos somos un cuerpo; pues todos participamos de aquel un pan.
18Mirad á Israel según la carne: los que comen de los sacrificios ¿no son partícipes con el altar?
19¿Qué pues digo? ¿Que el ídolo es algo? ¿ó que sea algo lo que es sacrificado á los ídolos?
20Antes digo que lo que los Gentiles sacrifican, á los demonios lo sacrifican, y no á Dios: y no querría que vosotros fueseis partícipes con los demonios.
21No podéis beber la copa del Señor, y la copa de los demonios: no podéis ser partícipes de la mesa del Señor, y de la mesa de los demonios.
22¿O provocaremos á celo al Señor? ¿Somos más fuertes que él?
23Todo me es lícito, mas no todo conviene: todo me es lícito, mas no todo edifica.
24Ninguno busque su propio bien, sino el del otro.
25De todo lo que se vende en la carnicería, comed, sin preguntar nada por causa de la conciencia;
26Porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
27Y si algún infiel os llama, y queréis ir, de todo lo que se os pone delante comed, sin preguntar nada por causa de la conciencia.
28Mas si alguien os dijere: Esto fué sacrificado á los ídolos: no lo comáis, por causa de aquel que lo declaró, y por causa de la conciencia: porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
29La conciencia, digo, no tuya, sino del otro. Pues ¿por qué ha de ser juzgada mi libertad por otra conciencia?
30Y si yo con agradecimiento participo, ¿por qué he de ser blasfemado por lo que doy gracias?
31Si pues coméis, ó bebéis, ó hacéis otra cosa, hacedlo todo á gloria de Dios.
32Sed sin ofensa á Judíos, y á Gentiles, y á la iglesia de Dios:
33Como también yo en todas las cosas complazco á todos, no procurando mi propio beneficio, sino el de muchos, para que sean salvos.
King James Version
1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7Neither 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.
8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
15I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
22Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
25Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
27If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:
29Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
30For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
33Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
World English Bible
1Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3and all ate the same spiritual food;
4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
5However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
7Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
9Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
10Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
11Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
12Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
13No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
16The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
17Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
18Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
19What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
21You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
24Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
25Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
26for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
27But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
28But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
29Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
31Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
33even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
