Don't worship idols

1Friends, I want to remind you that all our ancestors walked under the cloud and went through the sea.

2This was like being baptized and becoming followers of Moses.

3All of them also ate the same spiritual food

4and drank the same spiritual drink, which flowed from the spiritual rock that followed them. That rock was Christ.

5But most of them did not please God. So they died, and their bodies were scattered all over the desert.

6What happened to them is a warning to keep us from wanting to do the same evil things.

7They worshipped idols, just as the Scriptures say, “The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up to dance around.” So don't worship idols.

8Some of those people did shameful things, and in a single day about twenty-three thousand of them died. Don't do shameful things as they did.

9And don't try to test Christ, as some of them did and were later bitten by poisonous snakes.

10Don't even grumble, as some of them did and were killed by the destroying angel.

11These things happened to them as a warning to us. All this was written in the Scriptures to teach us who live in these last days.

12Even if you think you can stand up to temptation, be careful not to fall.

13You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and he will show you how to escape from your temptations.

14My friends, you must keep away from idols.

15I am speaking to you as people who have enough sense to know what I am talking about.

16When we drink from the cup that we ask God to bless, isn't that sharing in the blood of Christ? When we eat the bread that we break, isn't that sharing in the body of Christ?

17By sharing in the same loaf of bread, we become one body, even though there are many of us.

18Aren't the people of Israel sharing in the worship when they gather around the altar and eat the sacrifices offered there?

19Am I saying that either the idols or the food sacrificed to them is anything at all?

20No, I am not! That food is really sacrificed to demons and not to God. I don't want you to have anything to do with demons.

21You cannot drink from the cup of demons and still drink from the Lord's cup. You cannot eat at the table of demons and still eat at the Lord's table.

22We would make the Lord jealous if we did that. And we are not stronger than the Lord.

Always honour God

23Some of you say, “We can do whatever we want to!” But I tell you that not everything may be good or helpful.

24We should think about others and not about ourselves.

25However, when you buy meat in the market, go ahead and eat it. Keep your conscience clear by not asking where the meat came from.

26The Scriptures say, “The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord.”

27If an unbeliever invites you to dinner, and you want to go, then go. Eat whatever you are served. Don't cause a problem for someone's conscience by asking where the food came from.

28But if you are told that it has been sacrificed to idols, don't cause a problem by eating it. I don't mean a problem for yourself, but for the one who told you. Why should my freedom be limited by someone else's conscience?

29(10:28)

30If I give thanks for what I eat, why should anyone accuse me of doing wrong?

31When you eat or drink or do anything else, always do it to honour God.

32Don't cause problems for Jews or Greeks or anyone else who belongs to God's church.

33I always try to please others instead of myself, in the hope that many of them will be saved.
