1 Corinthians 10

English Standard Version



1 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[1] that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, (Ex 13:21; Ex 14:22) 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, (Ex 16:15; Ex 16:35; De 8:3; Ne 9:15; Ne 9:20; Ps 78:24; Ps 78:25; Ps 105:40; Joh 6:31) 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. (Ex 17:6) 5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown[2] in the wilderness. (Nu 14:29; Nu 14:37; Nu 26:64; Ps 106:26; Heb 3:17; Jud 1:5) 6 Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. (Nu 11:4; Nu 11:33; Ps 78:18; Ps 106:14) 7 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.” (Ex 32:4; Ex 32:6; 1Co 10:14) 8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. (Nu 25:1; Nu 25:9; Ps 106:29; Ac 15:20; 1Co 6:18) 9 We must not put Christ[3] to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, (Ex 17:2; Ex 17:7; Nu 21:5; Nu 21:6; Ps 78:18) 10 nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. (Ex 12:23; Nu 14:2; Nu 14:29; 2Sa 24:16; 1Ch 21:15; Ps 78:49) 11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. (Ro 4:23; Ro 13:11) 12 Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. (Ro 11:20; 2Pe 3:17) 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (Da 3:17; 1Co 1:9; 2Pe 2:9) 14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. (1Co 10:7) 15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. (1Co 8:1) 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? (Mt 26:26; Mt 26:27; Ac 2:42; Ac 20:7; 1Co 11:23; 1Co 11:25) 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. (Ro 12:5; 1Co 12:12; 1Co 12:20; Eph 4:4; Eph 4:16; Col 3:15) 18 Consider the people of Israel:[4] are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? (Le 3:3; Le 7:15; Ro 1:3; Ro 4:1; Ro 9:5; 2Co 11:18; Heb 13:10) 19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? (1Co 8:4) 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. (De 32:17) 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. (De 32:38; Isa 65:11; 2Co 6:15) 22 Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? (De 32:21; Ec 6:10; Eze 22:14) 



23 “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. (1Co 6:12; 1Co 8:9) 24 Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. (Ro 15:1; 1Co 9:23; 1Co 10:33; 1Co 13:5; 2Co 12:14; Php 2:21) 25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. (1Co 8:7) 26 For “the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.” (Ex 9:29; Ex 19:5; De 10:14; Job 41:11; Ps 24:1; Ps 50:12) 27 If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. (Lu 10:8) 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— 29 I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience? (Ro 14:16; 1Co 8:9; 1Co 9:19) 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks? (Ro 14:6; 1Ti 4:3) 31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (Col 3:17; 1Pe 4:11) 32 Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, (Ac 20:28; Ro 14:13; 1Co 8:13; 1Co 11:16; 2Co 6:3) 33 just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved. (1Co 9:22; 1Co 10:24; Ga 1:10)

1 Corinthians 10

الكتاب المقدس



1 فَإِنِّي لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الأُخْوَةُ أَنَّ آبَاءَنَا كَانُوا كُلُّهُمْ تَحْتَ السَّحَابَةِ، وَاجْتَازُوا كُلُّهُمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ، 2 فَتَعَمَّدُوا كُلُّهُمْ أَتْبَاعاً لِمُوسَى، فِي السَّحَابَةِ وَفِي الْبَحْرِ، 3 وَأَكَلُوا كُلُّهُمْ طَعَاماً رُوحِيًّا وَاحِداً، 4 وَشَرِبُوا كُلُّهُمْ شَرَاباً رُوحِيًّا وَاحِداً، إِذْ شَرِبُوا مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ تَبِعَتْهُمْ، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةُ هِيَ الْمَسِيحُ. 5 وَمَعَ ذلِكَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَرْتَضِ بِأَكْثَرِهِمْ إِذْ طُرِحُوا قَتْلَى فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. 6 وَإِنَّمَا حَدَثَتْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ لِتَكُونَ مِثَالاً لَنَا، حَتَّى لَا نَشْتَهِيَ أُمُوراً شِرِّيرَةً كَمَا اشْتَهَى أُولئِكَ. 7 فَلا تَكُونُوا عَابِدِينَ لِلأَصْنَامِ كَمَا كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ، كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «جَلَسَ الشَّعْبُ لِلأَكْلِ وَالشُّرْبِ، ثُمَّ قَامُوا لِلرَّقْصِ وَاللَّهْوِ». 8 وَلا نَرْتَكِبِ الزِّنَا كَمَا فَعَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ، فَسَقَطَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً. 9 وَلا نُجَرِّبْ الرَّبَّ كَمَا جَرَّبَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَتْهُمُ الْحَيَّاتُ. 10 وَلا تَتَذَمَّرُوا، كَمَا تَذَمَّرَ بَعْضُهُمْ، فَهَلَكُوا عَلَى يَدِ الْمَلاكِ الْمُهْلِكِ. 11 فَهَذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا حَدَثَتْ لَهُمْ لِتَكُونَ مِثَالاً، وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ إِنْذَاراً لَنَا، نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ انْتَهَتْ إِلَيْنَا أَوَاخِرُ الأَزْمِنَةِ. 12 فَمَنْ تَوَهَّمَ أَنَّهُ صَامِدٌ، فَلْيَحْذَرْ أَنْ يَسْقُطَ. 13 لَمْ يُصِبْكُمْ مِنَ التَّجَارِبِ إِلّا مَا هُوَ بَشَرِيٌّ. وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَمِينٌ وَجَدِيرٌ بِالثِّقَةِ، فَلا يَدَعُكُمْ تُجَرَّبُونَ فَوْقَ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، بَلْ يُدَبِّرُ لَكُمْ مَعَ التَّجْرِبَةِ سَبِيلَ الْخُرُوجِ مِنْهَا لِتُطِيقُوا احْتِمَالَهَا. 



14 لِذَلِكَ، يَا أَحِبَّائِي، اهْرُبُوا مِنْ عِبَادَةِ الأَصْنَامِ. 15 إِنِّي أُكَلِّمُكُمْ كَلامِي لأَذْكِيَاءَ: فَاحْكُمُوا أَنْتُمْ فِي مَا أَقُولُ. 16 أَلَيْسَتْ كَأْسُ الْبَرَكَةِ الَّتِي نُبَارِكُهَا هِيَ شَرِكَةُ دَمِ الْمَسِيحِ؟ أَوَ لَيْسَ رَغِيفُ الْخُبْزِ الَّذِي نَكْسِرُهُ هُوَ الاشْتِرَاكُ فِي جَسَدِ الْمَسِيحِ؟ 17 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ الْكَثِيرِينَ رَغِيفٌ وَاحِدٌ، أَيْ جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ، لأَنَّنَا جَمِيعاً نَشْتَرِكُ فِي الرَّغِيفِ الْوَاحِدِ. 18 انْظُرُوا إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ بِاعْتِبَارِهِ بَشَراً: أَمَا يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ آكِلِي الذَّبَائِحِ اشْتِرَاكُهُمْ فِي الْمَذْبَحِ؟ 19 فَمَاذَا أَعْنِي إِذَنْ؟ هَلْ مَا ذُبِحَ لِلصَّنَمِ لَهُ قِيمَةٌ أَوْ أَنَّ الصَّنَمَ لَهُ قِيمَةٌ؟ 20 لا، بَلْ أَنَّ مَا يَذْبَحُهُ الْوَثَنِيُّونَ فَإِنَّمَا يَذْبَحُونَهُ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَلَيْسَ لِلهِ. وَإِنِّي لَا أُرِيدُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مُشْتَرِكِينَ مَعَ الشَّيَاطِينِ. 21 فَلا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تَشْرَبُوا كَأْسَ الرَّبِّ وَكَأْسَ الشَّيَاطِينِ مَعاً، وَلا أَنْ تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي مَائِدَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمَائِدَةِ الشَّيَاطِينِ مَعاً، 22 أَمْ نُحَاوِلُ إِثَارَةَ غَيْرَةَ الرَّبِّ؟ أَوَ نَحْنُ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ؟ 



23 كُلُّ شَيْءٍ حَلالٌ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَنْفَعُ. كَلُّ شَيْءٍ حَلالٌ، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَبْنِي. 24 فَلا يَسْعَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى مَصْلَحَةِ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ إِلَى مَصْلَحَةِ غَيْرِهِ! 25 فَكُلُّ مَا يُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ، لَكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ، دُونَمَا اسْتِفْهَامٍ لإِرْضَاءِ الضَّمِيرِ. 26 فَإِنَّ الأَرْضَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا لِلرَّبِّ. 27 أَمَّا إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَأَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تُرَافِقُوهُ، فَكُلُوا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يُقَدِّمُهُ لَكُمْ، دُونَمَا اسْتِفْهَامٍ لإِرْضَاءِ الضَّمِيرِ. 28 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ: «هَذِهِ ذَبِيحَةٌ مُقَدَّمَةٌ لإِلهٍ»، فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهَا مُرَاعَاةً لِمَنْ أَخْبَرَكُمْ وَإِرْضَاءً لِلضَّمِيرِ. 29 وَبِقَوْلِي«الضَّمِيرِ» لَا أَعْنِي ضَمِيرَكَ أَنْتَ بَلْ ضَمِيرَ الآخَرِ. وَلِمَاذَا يَتَحَكَّمُ ضَمِيرُ غَيْرِي بِحُرِّيَّتِي؟ 30 وَمَادُمْتُ أَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئاً وَأَشْكُرُ عَلَيْهِ، فَلِمَاذَا يُقَالُ فِيَّ سُوءٌ لأَجْلِ مَا أَشْكُرُ عَلَيْهِ؟ 31 فَإِذَا أَكَلْتُمْ أَوْ شَرِبْتُمْ أَوْ مَهْمَا فَعَلْتُمْ، فَافْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لِتَمْجِيدِ اللهِ. 32 لَا تَضَعُوا عَائِقاً يُسَبِّبُ السُّقُوطَ لأَحَدٍ، سَوَاءٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَمِ الْيُونَانِيِّينَ أَمْ كَنِيسَةِ اللهِ. 33 فَهكَذَا أَنَا أَيْضاً أَسْعَى لإِرْضَاءِ الْجَمِيعِ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَلا أَهْتَمُّ بِمَصْلَحَتِي الْخَاصَّةِ، بَلْ بِمَصْلَحَةِ الْكَثِيرِينَ، لِكَيْ يَخْلُصُوا.
