\subsection{I Corinthians 10}
\VS{1} For I do not want you to be being ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers 
were under the cloud and all passed through the sea, 
\VS{2} and were all 
baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 
\VS{3} and all ate the same 
spiritual food, 
\VS{4} and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they 
drank from the spiritual rock that followed [them]; now the rock was the Christ. 
\VS{5} But with many of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown 
in the wilderness. 
\VS{6} But these have become our examples, to the end 
that we not be lusters of evil, just as these lusted 
\VS{7} Neither become 
idolaters, just as some of them, just as it is written: 

\begin{verse}
The people sat to eat and drink, \\
And they arose to be dancing.
\end{verse}

\VS{8} Neither let us fornicate, just as some of them fornicated and twenty 
three thousand fell in one day. 
\VS{9} Neither let us test the Lord, just as 
some of them tested [him] and they perished by the snakes. 
\VS{10} Neither be 
grumbling, just as some of them grumbled, and they were destroyed by the 
destroyer. 
\VS{11} But these [things] happened to them by way of example, and they 
are written for our admonition, upon whom are come the ends\footnote{or 
``completions''} of the eternities. 
\VS{12} So the [one] supposing [he is] standing, 
let\fnImperative{} him be looking [that] he not fall. 
\VS{13} Testing has 
not taken you except [what is] human; but God is trustworthy, who will not permit you 
to be tested above what you are able, but will with the testing also make 
the way out, that you be able to endure. 
\VS{14} Wherefore, my 
agape-beloved, be fleeing from idolatry. 
\VS{15} As to the prudent I speak, you judge what I say. 
\VS{16} The cup of the blessing that we bless, isn't 
it [the] fellowship of the body of Christ? 
\VS{17} For one bread, [and] one body are 
we many. For we all partake from one bread. 
\VS{18} Be looking to Israel 
according to the flesh: Aren't those eating the sacrifice sharers of the 
altar? 
\VS{19} What therefore do I say? That [the] meat offered to idols is 
anything? Or that [an] idol is anything? 
\VS{20} Rather [I say] that what the nations 
sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to 
become sharers of demons. 
\VS{21} You are not able to be drinking [the] cup of 
[the] Lord and [the] cup of demons; you are not able to be sharing the table of [the] Lord and the table of demons. 
\VS{22} Or will you provoke the Lord to jealousy? 
Are we stronger than he?\footnote{grammer indicates ``no'' answer expected 
or expresses uncertainty}
\VS{23} Everything is permissible, but not everything builds up. 
\VS{24} Let\fnImperative{} no one be seeking his 
own [good] but the [good] of the other. 
\VS{25} Everything being sold in the meat market 
be eating, questioning on account of conscience nothing. 
\VS{26} For the land and its fullness is the Lord's. 
\VS{27} If any of the non-believing 
invite you and you want to be going, be eating everything placed before you, 
questioning on account of conscience nothing. 
\VS{28} But if any say to you: 
This is meat offered to idols, be not eating on account of that [one] making [it] 
known [to you] and conscience. \footnote{insert: ``For the land is the lord's and 
[also] its fullness'' \koine{}; txt: \sinaiticus{}BD \vulgate{} } 
\VS{29} But I say, not your own 
conscience, but that of the other. For why is my freedom judged by another's 
conscience? 
\VS{30} For if I by grace partake, why am I slandered in behalf 
of what I give thanks? 
\VS{31} Whether therefore you eat or drink or 
whatever you do, be doing all to [the] glory of God. 
\VS{32} Become inoffensive to both Jews and Greeks, and the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of God, 
\VS{33} just as I also 
please everyone in everything, not seeking my own profit, but the [profit] of the 
many, in order that they be saved.
