| 1 Corinthians 10
|
| | 10:1
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all
our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; |
| | 10:2
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; |
| | 10:3
And did all eat the same spiritual meat; |
(10:7) "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."
Don't be an idolater who sits down to eat and then rises up to play. God hates it when people do that.
(10:8)
"Fell in one day three and twenty thousand"
How many did God kill for "committing whoredom with the daughters of Moab"?
(10:8)"Neither let us commit fornication"
Is it wrong to have sex outside of marriage?
(10:9)
"Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were
destroyed of serpents." If you tempt Christ (How could you tempt Christ?), then he'll send fiery serpents to bite and kill you.
(Like he did in Numbers 21:6-9)
(10:10)
"Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured,
and were destroyed of the destroyer." (Numbers 16:41-49)
(10:11) "They are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
Paul believed that he would live to see the end of the world.
(10:16) "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?" Depends on who you ask. A Catholic will say yes. A Protestant, no.
If you ask me, it's just bread and wine.
(10:20) Gentiles sacrifice to devils. Don't do it with them.
Is it OK to eat meat sacrificed to other gods?
(10:20) "The Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils."
(10:21) "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."
(10:23) "All things are lawful for me."
(10:25)
"Whatsoever is sold in
the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake."
What should we eat?
Is it OK to eat meat sacrificed to other gods?
(10:26) "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof."
Who owns the earth?
(10:27-28) Don't ask. Don't tell.
Is it OK to eat meat sacrificed to other gods?
(10:27) "If 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."
(20:28) "But 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."
(10:32) "I please all men in all things."
Should we try to please everyone?
| | 10:4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that
spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
| | 10:5
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown
in the wilderness.
| | 10:6
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after
evil things, as they also lusted.
| 10:7
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.
| 10:8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and
twenty thousand.
| | 10:9
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were
destroyed of serpents.
| | 10:10
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of
the destroyer.
| | 10:11
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are
written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
| | 10:12
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
| | 10:13
There 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.
| | 10:14
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
| | 10:15
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
| | 10:16
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?
| | 10:17
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of
that one bread.
| | 10:18
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices
partakers of the altar?
| | 10:19
What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in
sacrifice to idols is any thing?
| | 10:20
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.
| | 10:21
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.
| | 10:22
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
| | 10:23
All things are lawful
for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me,
but all things edify not.
| | 10:24
Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
| | 10:25
Whatsoever is sold in
the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
| | 10:26
For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
| | 10:27
If 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.
| | 10:28 But 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:
| | 10:29
Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty
judged of another man's conscience?
| | 10:30
For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for
which I give thanks?
| | 10:31
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the
glory of God.
| | 10:32
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the
church of God:
| | 10:33
Even as I please all men in all
things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they
may be saved.
