1 Corinthians 10:13-19
New American Standard Bible
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15I speak as to wise people; you then, judge what I say.
16Is the cup of blessing which we bless not a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is the bread which we break not a sharing in the body of Christ?
17Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
18Look at the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners in the altar?
19What do I mean then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
King James Version
Chapter 10
13There 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. 14Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
15I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
16The 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?
17For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
Christian Standard Bible
14So then, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.
15I am speaking as to sensible people. Judge for yourselves what I am saying.
16The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
17Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, since all of us share the one bread.
18Consider the people of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
19What am I saying then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
New Living Translation
14So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.
15You are reasonable people. Decide for yourselves if what I am saying is true.
16When we bless the cup at the Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ?
17And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body.
18Think about the people of Israel. Weren’t they united by eating the sacrifices at the altar?
