WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:01.830 Chapter 10. 00:03.610 --> 00:08.850 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant how that all our 00:08.850 --> 00:13.890 fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all 00:13.890 --> 00:19.810 baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and did all eat the same 00:19.810 --> 00:23.250 spiritual meat, and did all drink the same spiritual drink. 00:23.710 --> 00:29.030 For they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ. 00:29.890 --> 00:34.150 But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the 00:34.150 --> 00:34.490 wilderness. 00:35.330 --> 00:39.970 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after 00:39.970 --> 00:42.090 evil things, as they also lusted. 00:42.990 --> 00:45.890 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them. 00:46.310 --> 00:51.410 As it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 00:52.610 --> 00:57.270 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one 00:57.270 --> 00:58.950 day three and twenty thousand. 00:59.870 --> 01:04.670 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of 01:04.670 --> 01:05.230 serpents. 01:05.930 --> 01:10.530 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the 01:10.530 --> 01:11.150 destroyer. 01:11.970 --> 01:16.550 Now all these things happened unto them for examples, and they are written for our 01:16.550 --> 01:19.870 admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 01:20.850 --> 01:25.570 Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed, lest he fall. 01:26.270 --> 01:30.070 There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man. 01:30.450 --> 01:32.330 But God is faithful. 01:32.830 --> 01:36.550 Who will not suffer you to be tempted above, that ye are able? 01:36.930 --> 01:41.490 But will, with the temptation, also make a way to escape, that ye may be 01:41.490 --> 01:42.450 able to bear it? 01:43.670 --> 01:46.790 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 01:47.570 --> 01:49.250 I speak as to wise men. 01:49.890 --> 01:51.030 Judge ye what I say. 01:51.730 --> 01:55.870 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of 01:55.870 --> 01:56.210 Christ? 01:56.850 --> 02:01.110 The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 02:01.890 --> 02:08.190 For we being many are one bread and one body, for we are all partakers of that one 02:08.190 --> 02:08.530 bread. 02:09.410 --> 02:11.250 Behold Israel after the flesh. 02:11.750 --> 02:15.290 Are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 02:16.570 --> 02:19.630 What say I then, that the idol is any thing? 02:20.210 --> 02:23.610 Or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 02:24.270 --> 02:29.030 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to 02:29.030 --> 02:30.570 devils, and not to God. 02:30.970 --> 02:34.230 And I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 02:34.990 --> 02:38.510 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils. 02:38.910 --> 02:42.670 Ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 02:43.550 --> 02:45.610 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? 02:46.310 --> 02:47.570 Are we stronger than he? 02:48.390 --> 02:52.390 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient. 02:52.950 --> 02:56.690 All things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 02:57.250 --> 03:01.170 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. 03:02.330 --> 03:07.250 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for 03:07.250 --> 03:08.050 conscience' sake. 03:08.570 --> 03:11.990 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. 03:12.550 --> 03:17.150 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go, 03:17.570 --> 03:22.550 whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience' sake. 03:22.990 --> 03:27.190 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, 03:27.470 --> 03:31.470 eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience' sake. 03:31.870 --> 03:35.730 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. 03:36.730 --> 03:40.350 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other. 03:40.690 --> 03:44.070 For why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? 03:45.170 --> 03:50.330 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which 03:50.330 --> 03:51.110 I give thanks? 03:52.650 --> 03:57.790 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory 03:57.790 --> 03:58.310 of God. 03:58.950 --> 04:03.810 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of 04:03.810 --> 04:04.150 God. 04:04.630 --> 04:10.070 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the 04:10.070 --> 04:12.550 profit of many, that they may be saved.
