1 Corinthians - ch 10 v 1 - 20
- For 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;
- And they all had baptism from Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
- And they all took the same holy food;
- And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.
- But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.
- Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.
- Then 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.
- Again, 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.
- And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.
- And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.
- Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.
- So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.
- You 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.
- For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.
- What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.
- The 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?
- Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.
- See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?
- Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?
- What 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.
