¹ Brethren, I will not, that ye unknow, that all our fathers were under [a] cloud, and all passed the sea;

² and all were baptized in Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;

³ and all ate the same spiritual meat,

⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink; and they drank of the spiritual stone following them; and the stone was Christ.

⁵ But not in full many of them it was well pleasant to God; for why they were cast down in [the] desert.

⁶ But these things were done in figure of us, that we be not coveters of evil things, as they coveted.

⁷ Neither be ye made idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.

⁸ Neither do we fornication, as some of them did fornication, and three and twenty thousand were dead in one day.

⁹ Neither tempt we Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished of serpents.

¹⁰ Neither grutch ye, as some of them grutched, and they perished of a destroyer [or of the waster].

¹¹ And all these things fell to them in figure; but they be written to our amending [or correction], into whom the ends of the worlds be come [or the ends of the world have come].

¹² Therefore he that guesseth him, that he standeth, see he, that he fall not.

¹³ Temptation take not you, but man’s temptation; for God is true, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above that that ye may; but he shall make with temptation also purveyance, that ye may suffer [or sustain].

¹⁴ Wherefore, ye most dearworthy to me, flee ye from the worshipping of maumets [or idols].

¹⁵ As to prudent men I speak, deem ye yourselves [or ye yourselves deem] that thing that I say.

¹⁶ Whether the cup of blessing which we bless, is not the communing of Christ’s blood? and whether the bread which we break, is not the part-taking of the body of the Lord?

¹⁷ For we many be one bread and one body, all we that take part of one bread and of one cup.

¹⁸ See ye Israel after the flesh, whether they that eat sacrifices, be not partners of the altar?

¹⁹ What therefore say I, that a thing that is offered to idols is anything, or that the idol is anything?

²⁰ But those things that heathen men offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. But I will not, that ye be made fellows of fiends;

²¹ for ye may not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of fiends; ye may not be partners of the board of the Lord, and of the board of fiends.

²² Whether we have envy to the Lord? whether we be stronger than he?

²³ All things be leaveful to me, but not all things be speedful. All things be leaveful to me, but not all things edify.

²⁴ No man seek that thing that is his own, but that thing that is of another.

²⁵ All thing that is sold in the butchery, eat ye, asking nothing for conscience.

²⁶ The earth and the plenty of it, is the Lord’s.

²⁷ If any of heathen [or of unfaithful] men call you to supper, and ye will go, all thing that is set to you, eat ye, asking nothing for conscience.

²⁸ But if any man saith, This thing is offered to idols, do not ye eat, for him that showed [this thing], and for conscience;

²⁹ and I say not, thy conscience, but of another [man’s]. But whereto is my freedom [or my liberty] deemed of another man’s conscience?

³⁰ Therefore if I take part with grace, what am I blasphemed, for that that I do thankings [or graces]?

³¹ Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or do any other thing, do ye all things to the glory of God.

³² Be ye without offence to Jews, and to heathen men, and to the church of God;

³³ as I by all things please to all men, not seeking that that [or what] is profitable to me, but that that is profitable to many men, that they be made safe.
