1 Coríntios 10

1 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 and all ate the same spiritual food; 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. 5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. 7 Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."✝10:7 Exodus 32:6 8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell. 9 Let’s not test Christ,*10:9 NU reads "the Lord" instead of "Christ". as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents. 10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer. 11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.

13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread. 18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons. 21 You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

23 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things build up. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good. 25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience, 26 for "the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness."✝10:26 Psalms 24:1 27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience. 28 But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For "the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness." 29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?

31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God; 33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

He Whakatūpato ki ngā Whakapakoko

1 E kore ahau e pai, e ōku tēina, kia kūware koutou, i raro katoa ō mātou mātua i te kapua, i haere katoa anō hoki rā roto i te moana; 2 i iriiria anō rātou katoa ki a Mohi i roto i te kapua, i roto hoki i te moana; 3 ā, i kai rātou i te kai kotahi, he mea wairua; 4 i inu hoki rātou katoa i te wai kotahi, he mea wairua. Nō te mea i inu rātou i tā te mea wairua, arā i tā te toka i whai nei i a rātou; ā, ko taua toka rā ko te Karaiti. 5 Otiia, kīhai te Atua i āhuareka ki te nuinga o rātou; i turakina iho hoki rātou i te koraha.

6 Nā, hei tohu ēnei mea ki a tātou, kia kaua tātou e hiahia, ki ngā mea kino, kei pērā me rātou i hiahia rā. 7 Kaua anō koutou e karakia ki ngā whakapakoko, kei pērā me ētahi o rātou; kua oti rā hoki te tuhituhi, "I noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, ā, whakatika ana ki te tākaro." 8 Kaua hoki tātou e moepuku, kei pērā me ētahi o rātou i moepuku, ā, hinga ana e rua tekau mā toru ngā mano i te rā kotahi. 9 Kaua hoki tātou e whakamātautau a te Karaiti, kei pērā me ētahi o rātou i whakamātautau rā, ā, ngaro ana te nākahi. 10 Kaua hoki koutou e amuamu, kei pērā me ētahi o rātou i amuamu, ā, ngaro ana rātou i te kaiwhakangaro.

11 Nā, i pā ēnei mea ki a rātou hei tohu; kua tuhituhia nei hoki hei whakatūpato i a tātou, i te hunga ka tae nei ki ngā whakamutunga o te ao.

12 Nā reira, ko te tangata e mea ana e tū ana ia, kia tūpato ia kei hinga. 13 Kāhore anō kia pono ki a koutou tētahi whakamātautau e rerekē ana i tō te tangata. He pono hoki te Atua, e kore nei e tuku kia nui ake i tō koutou kaha te whakamātautau mō koutou; engari, tahi me te whakamātautau ka meatia e ia he putanga, kia ū ake ai koutou.

14 Nā reira, e ōku hoa aroha, rere atu i te karakia whakapakoko. 15 Ko tāku kōrero nei he mea ki te hunga mahara; whakaaroa tāku e mea nei. 16 Ko te kapu whakapainga e whakapai nei tātou, ehara koia i te inu tahi i ngā toto o te Karaiti? Ko te taro e whatiwhatia nei e tātou, ehara ianei i te kai tahi i te tinana o te Karaiti? 17 Inā hoki ko tātou tokomaha nei, kotahi anō taro, kotahi anō tinana; kotahi tonu nei hoki taua taro e kainga nei e tātou katoa.

18 Whakaaroa a Īharaira o te kikokiko; he teka ianei ko te hunga e kai ana i ngā patunga tapu, e uru tahi ana ki tō te āta? 19 Nā, he pēhea rā tāku kōrero? He tikanga mea rānei te mea e patua ana mā te whakapakoko? He tikanga mea rānei te whakapakoko? 20 Otirā, e kī ana ahau, ko ngā mea e i patua ana e ngā tauiwi, e patua ana mā ngā rēwera, he teka mā te Atua. E kore hoki ahau e pai kia uru tahi koutou ko ngā rēwera. 21 E kore koutou e āhei te inu i te kapu a te Ariki, i te kapu anō a ngā rēwera. E kore koutou e āhei te kai i te tēpu a te Ariki, i te tēpu hoki a ngā rēwera. 22 E mea ana rānei tātou kia hae mai te Ariki? He kaha koia tātou i a ia?

23 "He tika ngā mea katoa," otirā, e kore e pai katoa. "He tika ngā mea katoa," otirā, e kore e oti te waihanga e ngā mea katoa. 24 Kaua tētahi e rapu ki tāna ake, engari, me rapu katoa i te pai mō tērā, mō tērā.

25 Ko ngā mea katoa e hokona ana i te mākete, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei hē te hinengaro. 26 "Nō te Ariki hoki te whenua me ōna tini mea."

27 Ki te karangatia koutou e tētahi o te hunga whakapono kore, ā, ka pai koutou kia haere; ko ngā mea katoa e whakatakotoria mai ki tō koutou aroaro, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei hē te hinengaro. 28 Ki te mea ia tētahi ki a koutou, "I patua tēnei mā te whakapakoko," kaua e kai, me whakaaro ki te kaiwhakaatu, ki te hinengaro hoki – 29 ko te hinengaro, e kī ana ahau, ehara i tōu, engari, ko tō tētahi; he aha tōku herekoretanga kia whakakorea e tērā atu hinengaro?

30 Ki te mea hoki nā te aroha noa ahau i kai ai, he aha ahau i kōrerotia kinotia ai mō te mea i whakawhetai ai ahau?

31 Nā reira, ahakoa kai, ahakoa inu, aha rānei, meinga katoatia hei whakakorōria mō te Atua. 32 Kei waiho koutou hei tūtukitanga waewae ki ngā Hūrai, ki ngā Kariki rānei, ki te hāhi rānei a te Atua; 33 kia pēnei me ahau e whakamānawareka nei i te katoa i ngā mea katoa, i ahau kāhore nei e rapu i te pai mōku ake, engari i tō te tokomaha, kia ora ai rātou.
