1 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;
2 And they all had baptism from Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And they all took the same holy food;
4 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.
5 But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.
6 Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.
7 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.
8 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.
9 And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.
10 And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.
11 Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.
12 So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.
13 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.
14 For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.
15 What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.
16 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?
17 Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.
18 See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?
19 Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?
20 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.
21 It 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.
22 Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?
23 We 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.
24 Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.
25 Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;
26 For the earth is the Lord's and all things in it.
27 If 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.
28 But 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:
29 Right 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.
30 But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.
31 So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.
33 Even 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.
1 弟兄们， 我不愿意你们不知道， 我们的祖宗都曾经在云下， 都曾经从海中经过，
2 都曾经在云里在海里受洗归于摩西。
3 他们都吃了一样的灵粮，
4 都喝了一样的灵水； 他们所喝的， 是从那随着他们的灵磐石那里来的， 这磐石就是基督。
5 但他们大多数的人， 都得不到 神的喜悦， 因此他们都死在旷野。
6 这些事都是我们的鉴戒， 叫我们不要贪恋恶事， 像他们那样。
7 你们也不可拜偶像， 像他们有些人那样； 正如经上所记： "人民坐下吃喝， 起来玩乐。"
8 我们也不可淫乱， 像他们有些人那样， 一天就死了二万三千人。
9 我们也不可试探主， 像他们有些人那样， 结果就被蛇咬死了。
10 你们也不可发怨言， 像他们有些人那样， 就被那毁灭者所灭。
11 这些事发生在他们身上， 作为鉴戒， 并且记下来， 为了要警戒我们这些末世的人。
12 所以， 那自以为站得稳的， 应当谨慎， 免得跌倒。
13 你们所受的试探， 无非是人受得起的； 神是信实的， 他必不容许你们受试探过于你们抵受得住的， 而且在受试探的时候， 必定给你们开一条出路， 使你们能忍受得住。
14 所以， 我所亲爱的， 你们要远避拜偶像的事。
15 我是对明白事理的人说的， 我所说的你们要自己判断。
16 我们为福杯祝祷的时候， 难道不是共享基督的血吗？我们擘饼的时候， 难道不是共享基督的身体吗？
17 因为事实上只有一个饼， 我们人数虽多， 还是一个身体， 因为我们都是分享同一个饼。
18 你们看看以色列人， 那些吃祭物的不就是与祭坛有分吗？
19 我说的是什么意思呢？偶像算得什么， 还是祭过偶像的食物算得什么？
20 我是说， 教外人所祭的是鬼， 不是献给 神； 我却不愿意你们与鬼来往。
21 你们不能喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯， 你们不能参加主的筵席又参加鬼的筵席。
22 难道我们要激起主的忿怒吗？我们比他更强吗？
23 什么事情都可以作， 但不是都有益处。什么事情都可以作， 但不是都能造就人。
24 人不要求自己的好处， 却要求别人的好处。
25 肉食市场所卖的一切， 你们只管吃， 不要为了良心的缘故问什么，
26 因为地和地上所充满的都是属于主的。
27 如果有不信的人邀请你们吃饭， 你们也愿意去， 凡摆在你们面前的， 都可以吃， 不要为了良心的缘故问什么。
28 但是如果有人告诉你们： "这是献过祭的食物。"那么， 为了那告诉你们的人， 也为了良心的缘故， 就不要吃。
29 我说的良心， 不是你的， 而是他的。为什么我的自由要受别人的良心论断呢？
30 我若存着感恩的心吃了， 为什么我因着我所感恩的食物被人毁谤呢？
31 所以， 你们或吃喝， 或作什么， 一切都要为 神的荣耀而行。
32 无论是犹太人， 是希腊人， 是 神的教会， 你们总不可使他们跌倒；
33 就好像我所作的一切， 都是要使大家喜悦， 不是要求自己的好处， 而是要求别人的好处， 为了要使他们得救。
