1 Corinthians 10

1 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.

1 弟兄們，我不願意你們不曉得，我們的祖宗從前都在雲下，都從海中經過，

2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

2 都在雲裏、海裏受洗歸了摩西；

3 They all ate the same spiritual food

3 並且都吃了一樣的靈食，

4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

4 也都喝了一樣的靈水。所喝的，是出於隨着他們的靈磐石；那磐石就是基督。

5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.

5 但他們中間多半是上帝不喜歡的人，所以在曠野倒斃。

6 These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.

6 這些事都是我們的鑑戒，叫我們不要貪戀惡事，像他們那樣貪戀的；

7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”

7 也不要拜偶像，像他們有人拜的。如經上所記：「百姓坐下吃喝，起來玩耍。」

8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

8 我們也不要行姦淫，像他們有人行的，一天就倒斃了二萬三千人；

9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.

9 也不要試探主 ，像他們有人試探的，就被蛇所滅。

10 And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.

10 你們也不要發怨言，像他們有發怨言的，就被滅命的所滅。

11 Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

11 他們遭遇這些事都要作為鑑戒，並且寫在經上，正是警戒我們這末世的人。

12 So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.

12 所以，自己以為站得穩的，須要謹慎，免得跌倒。

13 No 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.

13 你們所遇見的試探，無非是人所能受的。上帝是信實的，必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的；在受試探的時候，總要給你們開一條出路，叫你們能忍受得住。

14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

14 我所親愛的弟兄啊，你們要逃避拜偶像的事。

15 I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.

15 我好像對明白人說的，你們要審察我的話。

16 Is 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?

16 我們所祝福的杯，豈不是同領基督的血嗎？我們所擘開的餅，豈不是同領基督的身體嗎？

17 Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.

17 我們雖多，仍是一個餅，一個身體，因為我們都是分受這一個餅。

18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?

18 你們看屬肉體的以色列人，那吃祭物的豈不是在祭壇上有分嗎？

19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

19 我是怎麼說呢？豈是說祭偶像之物算得甚麼呢？或說偶像算得甚麼呢？

20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.

20 我乃是說，外邦人所獻的祭是祭鬼，不是祭上帝。我不願意你們與鬼相交。

21 You 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.

21 你們不能喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯，不能吃主的筵席又吃鬼的筵席。

22 Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

22 我們可惹主的憤恨嗎？我們比他還有能力嗎？

23 “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.

23 凡事都可行，但不都有益處。凡事都可行，但不都造就人。

24 No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.

24 無論何人，不要求自己的益處，乃要求別人的益處。

25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,

25 凡市上所賣的，你們只管吃，不要為良心的緣故問甚麼話，

26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”

26 因為地和其中所充滿的都屬乎主。

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.

27 倘有一個不信的人請你們赴席，你們若願意去，凡擺在你們面前的，只管吃，不要為良心的緣故問甚麼話。

28 But 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—

28 若有人對你們說：「這是獻過祭的物」，就要為那告訴你們的人，並為良心的緣故不吃。

29 the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?

29 我說的良心不是你的，乃是他的。我這自由為甚麼被別人的良心論斷呢？

30 If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

30 我若謝恩而吃，為甚麼因我謝恩的物被人毀謗呢？

31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

31 所以，你們或吃或喝，無論做甚麼，都要為榮耀上帝而行。

32 Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—

32 不拘是猶太人，是希臘人，是上帝的教會，你們都不要使他跌倒；

33 as 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.

33 就好像我凡事都叫眾人喜歡，不求自己的益處，只求眾人的益處，叫他們得救。
