SBL Greek New Testament
1I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.
1Οὐ θέλω ⸀γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν πάντες ὑπὸ τὴν νεφέλην ἦσαν καὶ πάντες διὰ τῆς θαλάσσης διῆλθον,
2They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
2καὶ πάντες εἰς τὸν Μωϋσῆν ⸀ἐβαπτίσαντο ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ καὶ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ,
3They all ate the same spiritual food
3καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ ⸂πνευματικὸν βρῶμα⸃ ἔφαγον
4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
4καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ ⸂πνευματικὸν ἔπιον πόμα⸃, ἔπινον γὰρ ἐκ πνευματικῆς ἀκολουθούσης πέτρας, ἡ ⸂πέτρα δὲ⸃ ἦν ὁ Χριστός·
5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
5ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐν τοῖς πλείοσιν αὐτῶν ηὐδόκησεν ὁ θεός, κατεστρώθησαν γὰρ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
6These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
6Ταῦτα δὲ τύποι ἡμῶν ἐγενήθησαν, εἰς τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἐπιθυμητὰς κακῶν, καθὼς κἀκεῖνοι ἐπεθύμησαν.
7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
7μηδὲ εἰδωλολάτραι γίνεσθε, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν· ὥσπερ γέγραπται· Ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν.
8We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
8μηδὲ πορνεύωμεν, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ ἔπεσαν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες.
9We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
9μηδὲ ἐκπειράζωμεν τὸν ⸀Χριστόν, ⸀καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπείρασαν, καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ὄφεων ⸀ἀπώλλυντο.
10And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
10μηδὲ γογγύζετε, ⸀καθάπερ τινὲς αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν, καὶ ἀπώλοντο ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ.
11Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
11ταῦτα ⸀δὲ ⸂τυπικῶς συνέβαινεν⸃ ἐκείνοις, ἐγράφη δὲ πρὸς νουθεσίαν ἡμῶν, εἰς οὓς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων ⸀κατήντηκεν.
12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
12ὥστε ὁ δοκῶν ἑστάναι βλεπέτω μὴ πέσῃ,
13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
13πειρασμὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ εἴληφεν εἰ μὴ ἀνθρώπινος· πιστὸς δὲ ὁ θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἐάσει ὑμᾶς πειρασθῆναι ὑπὲρ ὃ δύνασθε, ἀλλὰ ποιήσει σὺν τῷ πειρασμῷ καὶ τὴν ἔκβασιν τοῦ ⸀δύνασθαι ὑπενεγκεῖν.
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
14Διόπερ, ἀγαπητοί μου, φεύγετε ἀπὸ τῆς εἰδωλολατρίας.
15I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
15ὡς φρονίμοις λέγω· κρίνατε ὑμεῖς ὅ φημι.
16Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
16τὸ ποτήριον τῆς εὐλογίας ὃ εὐλογοῦμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία ⸂ἐστὶν τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ⸃; τὸν ἄρτον ὃν κλῶμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐστιν;
17Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
17ὅτι εἷς ἄρτος, ἓν σῶμα οἱ πολλοί ἐσμεν, οἱ γὰρ πάντες ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἄρτου μετέχομεν.
18Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
18βλέπετε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ σάρκα· ⸀οὐχ οἱ ἐσθίοντες τὰς θυσίας κοινωνοὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου εἰσίν;
19Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
19τί οὖν φημι; ὅτι ⸂εἰδωλόθυτόν τί ἐστιν, ἢ ὅτι εἴδωλόν⸃ τί ἐστιν;
20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
20ἀλλʼ ὅτι ἃ ⸀θύουσιν, δαιμονίοις ⸂καὶ οὐ θεῷ θύουσιν⸃, οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς κοινωνοὺς τῶν δαιμονίων γίνεσθαι.
21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
21οὐ δύνασθε ποτήριον κυρίου πίνειν καὶ ποτήριον δαιμονίων· οὐ δύνασθε τραπέζης κυρίου μετέχειν καὶ τραπέζης δαιμονίων.
22Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
22ἢ παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν κύριον; μὴ ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμεν;
23“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
23⸀Πάντα ἔξεστιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντα συμφέρει. ⸁πάντα ἔξεστιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντα οἰκοδομεῖ.
24No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
24μηδεὶς τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ζητείτω ἀλλὰ τὸ τοῦ ⸀ἑτέρου.
25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
25πᾶν τὸ ἐν μακέλλῳ πωλούμενον ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν,
26for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
26τοῦ ⸂κυρίου γὰρ⸃ ἡ γῆ καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.
27If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
27⸀εἴ τις καλεῖ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀπίστων καὶ θέλετε πορεύεσθαι, πᾶν τὸ παρατιθέμενον ὑμῖν ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν·
28But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
28ἐὰν δέ τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ· Τοῦτο ⸀ἱερόθυτόν ἐστιν, μὴ ἐσθίετε διʼ ἐκεῖνον τὸν μηνύσαντα καὶ τὴν ⸀συνείδησιν·
29the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
29συνείδησιν δὲ λέγω οὐχὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀλλὰ τὴν τοῦ ἑτέρου· ἱνατί γὰρ ἡ ἐλευθερία μου κρίνεται ὑπὸ ἄλλης συνειδήσεως;
30If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
30εἰ ἐγὼ χάριτι μετέχω, τί βλασφημοῦμαι ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εὐχαριστῶ;
31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
31Εἴτε οὖν ἐσθίετε εἴτε πίνετε εἴτε τι ποιεῖτε, πάντα εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ ποιεῖτε.
32Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
32ἀπρόσκοποι ⸂καὶ Ἰουδαίοις γίνεσθε⸃ καὶ Ἕλλησιν καὶ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ,
33as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.
33καθὼς κἀγὼ πάντα πᾶσιν ἀρέσκω, μὴ ζητῶν τὸ ἐμαυτοῦ ⸀σύμφορον ἀλλὰ τὸ τῶν πολλῶν, ἵνα σωθῶσιν.
