1 Now I want to explain this to you, brothers and sisters. Our forefathers lived under the cloud, and they all passed through the sea.
1 PORQUE no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis que nuestros padres todos estuvieron bajo la nube, y todos pasaron la mar;
1 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 Symbolically then they were baptized “into Moses” in the cloud and in the sea.
2 Y todos en Moisés fueron bautizados en la nube y en la mar;
2 and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 They all ate the same spiritual food
3 Y todos comieron la misma vianda espiritual;
3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
4 and drank the same spiritual drink, for they “drank from a spiritual rock” that accompanied them. That rock was Christ.
4 Y todos bebieron la misma bebida espiritual; porque bebían de la piedra espiritual que los seguía, y la piedra era Cristo:
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
5 However, God wasn't happy with most of them, and they perished in the desert.
5 Mas de muchos de ellos no se agradó Dios; por lo cual fueron postrados en el desierto.
5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these experiences are examples to us to show us we should not desire what is evil, as they did.
6 Empero estas cosas fueron en figura de nosotros, para que no codiciemos cosas malas, como ellos codiciaron.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
7 You must not worship idols, as some of them did, as it's recorded in Scripture: “The people feasted and drank, and indulged in pagan worship.”
7 Ni seáis honradores de ídolos, como algunos de ellos; según está escrito: Sentóse el pueblo á comer y á beber, y se levantaron á jugar.
7 Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8 We must not commit sexual sins, as some of them did, and as a result 23,000 died in one day.
8 Ni forniquemos, como algunos de ellos fornicaron, y cayeron en un día veinte y tres mil.
8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
9 Nor should we push God to the limit, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
9 Ni tentemos á Cristo, como también algunos de ellos [le] tentaron, y perecieron por las serpientes.
9 Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
10 Don't complain at God, as some did, and died at the hands of the destroying angel.
10 Ni murmuréis, como algunos de ellos murmuraron, y perecieron por el destructor.
10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
11 All the things that happened to them are examples to us and were written down to warn us, we who are living close to the end of time.
11 Y estas cosas les acontecieron en figura; y son escritas para nuestra admonición, en quienes los fines de los siglos han parado.
11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
12 So if you think you're strong enough to stay standing—be careful you don't fall!
12 Así que, el que piensa estar [firme], mire no caiga.
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
13 You won't experience any greater temptation than anyone else, and God is trustworthy. He won't allow you to be tempted more than you can bear, and when you are tempted, he will provide for you a way out so you can stay strong.
13 No os ha tomado tentación, sino humana: mas fiel es Dios, que no os dejará ser tentados más de lo que podéis [llevar]; antes dará también juntamente con la tentación la salida, para que podáis aguantar.
13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
14 So my good friends, stay away from idol worship.
14 Por tanto, amados míos, huid de la idolatría.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 I'm talking to sensible people, so you decide whether I'm telling the truth.
15 Como á sabios hablo; juzgad vosotros lo que digo.
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
16 When we give thanks for the cup we use in the Lord's Supper, don't we share in the blood of Christ? When we break the communion bread, don't we share in the body of Christ?
16 La copa de bendición que bendecimos, ¿no es la comunión de la sangre de Cristo? El pan que partimos, ¿no es la comunión del cuerpo de Cristo?
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
17 By eating from one loaf of bread, we show that even though we are many, we are one body.
17 Porque un pan, [es que] muchos somos un cuerpo; pues todos participamos de aquel un pan.
17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
18 Look at the people of Israel. Don't those who eat the sacrifices made on the altar share together?
18 Mirad á Israel según la carne: los que comen de los sacrificios ¿no son partícipes con el altar?
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
19 What am I saying then? That anything sacrificed to idols means anything, or that an idol has any real existence? Of course not!
19 ¿Qué pues digo? ¿Que el ídolo es algo? ¿ó que sea algo lo que es sacrificado á los ídolos?
19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 The pagans are sacrificing to demons, and not to God. I don't want you to have anything to do with demons!
20 Antes [digo] que lo que los Gentiles sacrifican, á los demonios [lo] sacrifican, y no á Dios: y no querría que vosotros fueseis partícipes con los demonios.
20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
21 You can't drink the Lord's cup as well as the cup of demons; you can't eat from the Lord's table as well as the table of demons.
21 No podéis beber la copa del Señor, y la copa de los demonios: no podéis ser partícipes de la mesa del Señor, y de la mesa de los demonios.
21 You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
22 Are we trying to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he is?
22 ¿O provocaremos á celo al Señor? ¿Somos más fuertes que él?
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23 Some say, “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is appropriate! “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is constructive!
23 Todo me es lícito, mas no todo conviene: todo me es lícito, mas no todo edifica.
23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
24 You shouldn't look out for yourself, but for your neighbor.
24 Ninguno busque su propio [bien], sino el del otro.
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the market without asking questions because of your conscience,
25 De todo lo que se vende en la carnicería, comed, sin preguntar nada por causa de la conciencia;
25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
26 for “the earth and everything in it belong to God.”
26 Porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
27 If a non-Christian invites you to a meal, and you feel like going, eat whatever you are served, without asking questions because of your conscience.
27 Y si algún infiel os llama, y queréis ir, de todo lo que se os pone delante comed, sin preguntar nada por causa de la conciencia.
27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
28 But if someone tells you, “This food has been sacrificed to idols,” don't eat it for the sake of the one who mentioned it and for conscience' sake.
28 Mas si alguien os dijere: Esto fué sacrificado á los ídolos: no [lo] comáis, por causa de aquel que lo declaró, y por causa de la conciencia: porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
29 His conscience I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else's conscience?
29 La conciencia, digo, no tuya, sino del otro. Pues ¿por qué ha de ser juzgada mi libertad por otra conciencia?
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
30 If I choose to eat with thankfulness, why should I be criticized for eating what I'm thankful to God for?
30 Y si yo con agradecimiento participo, ¿por qué he de ser blasfemado por lo que doy gracias?
30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, make sure to do everything to the glory of God.
31 Si pues coméis, ó bebéis, ó hacéis otra cosa, haced[lo] todo á gloria de Dios.
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Don't cause offense, whether it's to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
32 Sed sin ofensa á Judíos, y á Gentiles, y á la iglesia de Dios:
32 Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
33 just as I try to please everybody in all I do. I don't think of what benefits me, but what benefits others, so that they may be saved.
33 Como también yo en todas las cosas complazco á todos, no procurando mi propio beneficio, sino el de muchos, para que sean salvos.
33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Thus, because he terrified them greatly, relating the ancient examples, and threw them into an agony, saying, "Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall; "though they had borne many temptations, and had exercised themselves many times therein; for "I was with you," saith he, "in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling:" (1 Cor. ii.

For "the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." These things they who live a godly life, that is never to be repented of, both have done and always will do.
… and revived, that He might rule over the living and the dead." And again, writing to the Corinthians, he declares, "But we preach Christ Jesus crucified;" and adds, "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?"
But there is hope, because Thou art faithful, who wilt not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able, but wilt with the temptation also make a way to escape, that we may be able to bear it. I would therefore confess what I know concerning myself; I will confess also what I know not concerning myself.

Hear ye not Paul saying, "that all these things are written for our admonition"? And thou, if thou hadst to take up a Gospel, wouldest not choose to do so with hands unwashed; but the things that are laid up within it, dost thou not think to be highly necessary?
