Basic HTML Version
I might gain them that are under the law;
21
To them that are without law, as without law, (being
not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22
To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all
men,
that
I might by all means save some.
23
And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker
thereof with
you.
24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain.
25
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they
do it
to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26
I therefore so run, not as
uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27
But I keep under my body, and bring
it
into
subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
CHAPTER CORINTHIANS 10
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the
sea;
3
And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they
drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5
But with many of them
God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6
Now these things were
our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7
Neither be ye
idolaters, as
were
some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up
to play.
8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three
and twenty thousand.
9
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed
of serpents.
10
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the
destroyer.
11
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12
Wherefore let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall.
13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to
man: but God
is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with
the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear
it.
14
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
15
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what
I say.
16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The
bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17
For we
being
many are
one bread,
and
one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18
Behold Israel after the flesh:
are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19
What say I then? that the idol is
any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20
But
I say,
that the things
which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should
have fellowship with devils.
21
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot
be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
22
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?
are we stronger than he?
23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things
