1 Corinthians 10:1-33 KJ21

[1] Moreover, brethren, I would not have ye ignorant of how all of our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, [2] and all were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. [3] And all ate the same spiritual meat, [4] and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. [5] But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. [6] Now these things were our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. [7] 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." [8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed - and three and twenty thousand fell in one day. [9] Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted - and were destroyed by serpents. [10] Neither should ye murmur, as some of them also murmured - and were destroyed by the destroyer. [11] Now all these things happened unto them by way of example, and are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. [12] Therefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. [13] There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. [14] Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. [15] I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. [16] The 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? [17] For we, being many, are one bread and one body, for we are all partakers of that one Bread. [18] Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? [19] What say I then? That the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? [20] But 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. [21] Ye 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. [22] Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? [23] All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify. [24] Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wellbeing. [25] Whatsoever is sold in the meat market, that eat, asking no question for conscience' sake; [26] for, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof." [27] If any of those who do not believe bid you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question for conscience' sake. [28] But if any man say unto you, "This is offered in sacrifice unto idols," then eat it not for his sake who showed it, and for conscience' sake; for, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof." [29] I do not mean thine own conscience, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? [30] For if I by grace be a partaker, why is evil spoken of me for that for which I give thanks? [31] Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. [32] Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God, [33] even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
