SBL Greek New Testament
1Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and 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,
2and 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,
3and all ate the same spiritual food;
3καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ ⸂πνευματικὸν βρῶμα⸃ ἔφαγον
4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
4καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ ⸂πνευματικὸν ἔπιον πόμα⸃, ἔπινον γὰρ ἐκ πνευματικῆς ἀκολουθούσης πέτρας, ἡ ⸂πέτρα δὲ⸃ ἦν ὁ Χριστός·
5However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
5ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐν τοῖς πλείοσιν αὐτῶν ηὐδόκησεν ὁ θεός, κατεστρώθησαν γὰρ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
6Ταῦτα δὲ τύποι ἡμῶν ἐγενήθησαν, εἰς τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἐπιθυμητὰς κακῶν, καθὼς κἀκεῖνοι ἐπεθύμησαν.
7Don’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.”
7μηδὲ εἰδωλολάτραι γίνεσθε, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν· ὥσπερ γέγραπται· Ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν.
8Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
8μηδὲ πορνεύωμεν, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ ἔπεσαν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες.
9Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
9μηδὲ ἐκπειράζωμεν τὸν ⸀Χριστόν, ⸀καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπείρασαν, καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ὄφεων ⸀ἀπώλλυντο.
10Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
10μηδὲ γογγύζετε, ⸀καθάπερ τινὲς αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν, καὶ ἀπώλοντο ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ.
11Now 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.
11ταῦτα ⸀δὲ ⸂τυπικῶς συνέβαινεν⸃ ἐκείνοις, ἐγράφη δὲ πρὸς νουθεσίαν ἡμῶν, εἰς οὓς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων ⸀κατήντηκεν.
12Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
12ὥστε ὁ δοκῶν ἑστάναι βλεπέτω μὴ πέσῃ,
13No 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.
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 as to wise men. Judge what I say.
15ὡς φρονίμοις λέγω· κρίνατε ὑμεῖς ὅ φημι.
16The 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?
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 of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
17ὅτι εἷς ἄρτος, ἓν σῶμα οἱ πολλοί ἐσμεν, οἱ γὰρ πάντες ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἄρτου μετέχομεν.
18Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
18βλέπετε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ σάρκα· ⸀οὐχ οἱ ἐσθίοντες τὰς θυσίας κοινωνοὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου εἰσίν;
19What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
19τί οὖν φημι; ὅτι ⸂εἰδωλόθυτόν τί ἐστιν, ἢ ὅτι εἴδωλόν⸃ τί ἐστιν;
20But 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.
20ἀλλʼ ὅτι ἃ ⸀θύουσιν, δαιμονίοις ⸂καὶ οὐ θεῷ θύουσιν⸃, οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς κοινωνοὺς τῶν δαιμονίων γίνεσθαι.
21You 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.
21οὐ δύνασθε ποτήριον κυρίου πίνειν καὶ ποτήριον δαιμονίων· οὐ δύνασθε τραπέζης κυρίου μετέχειν καὶ τραπέζης δαιμονίων.
22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
22ἢ παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν κύριον; μὴ ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμεν;
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.
23⸀Πάντα ἔξεστιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντα συμφέρει. ⸁πάντα ἔξεστιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντα οἰκοδομεῖ.
24Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
24μηδεὶς τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ζητείτω ἀλλὰ τὸ τοῦ ⸀ἑτέρου.
25Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
25πᾶν τὸ ἐν μακέλλῳ πωλούμενον ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν,
26for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
26τοῦ ⸂κυρίου γὰρ⸃ ἡ γῆ καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.
27But 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.
27⸀εἴ τις καλεῖ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀπίστων καὶ θέλετε πορεύεσθαι, πᾶν τὸ παρατιθέμενον ὑμῖν ἐσθίετε μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν·
28But 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.”
28ἐὰν δέ τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ· Τοῦτο ⸀ἱερόθυτόν ἐστιν, μὴ ἐσθίετε διʼ ἐκεῖνον τὸν μηνύσαντα καὶ τὴν ⸀συνείδησιν·
29Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
29συνείδησιν δὲ λέγω οὐχὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀλλὰ τὴν τοῦ ἑτέρου· ἱνατί γὰρ ἡ ἐλευθερία μου κρίνεται ὑπὸ ἄλλης συνειδήσεως;
30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
30εἰ ἐγὼ χάριτι μετέχω, τί βλασφημοῦμαι ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εὐχαριστῶ;
31Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
31Εἴτε οὖν ἐσθίετε εἴτε πίνετε εἴτε τι ποιεῖτε, πάντα εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ ποιεῖτε.
32Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
32ἀπρόσκοποι ⸂καὶ Ἰουδαίοις γίνεσθε⸃ καὶ Ἕλλησιν καὶ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ,
33even 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.
33καθὼς κἀγὼ πάντα πᾶσιν ἀρέσκω, μὴ ζητῶν τὸ ἐμαυτοῦ ⸀σύμφορον ἀλλὰ τὸ τῶν πολλῶν, ἵνα σωθῶσιν.
