Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Moreouer, brethren, I woulde not that yee shoulde bee ignorant, that all our fathers were vnder that cloude, and all passed through that sea,
1 PORQUE no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis que nuestros padres todos estuvieron bajo la nube, y todos pasaron la mar;
2 And were all baptized vnto Moses, in that cloude, and in that sea,
2 Y todos en Moisés fueron bautizados en la nube y en la mar;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat,
3 Y todos comieron la misma vianda espiritual;
4 And did all drinke the same spirituall drinke (for they dranke of the spiritual Rocke that folowed them: and the Rocke was Christ)
4 Y todos bebieron la misma bebida espiritual; porque bebían de la piedra espiritual que los seguía, y la piedra era Cristo:
5 But with many of them God was not pleased: for they were ouerthrowen in ye wildernes.
5 Mas de muchos de ellos no se agradó Dios; por lo cual fueron postrados en el desierto.
6 Nowe these things are our ensamples, to the intent that we should not lust after euil things as they also lusted.
6 Empero estas cosas fueron en figura de nosotros, para que no codiciemos cosas malas, como ellos codiciaron.
7 Neither bee ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, The people sate downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play.
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.
8 Neither let vs commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twentie thousand.
8 Ni forniquemos, como algunos de ellos fornicaron, y cayeron en un día veinte y tres mil.
9 Neither let vs tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted him, and were destroyed of serpents.
9 Ni tentemos á Cristo, como también algunos de ellos [le] tentaron, y perecieron por las serpientes.
10 Neither murmure ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
10 Ni murmuréis, como algunos de ellos murmuraron, y perecieron por el destructor.
11 Nowe all these things came vnto them for ensamples, and were written to admonish vs, vpon whome the endes of the world are come.
11 Y estas cosas les acontecieron en figura; y son escritas para nuestra admonición, en quienes los fines de los siglos han parado.
12 Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heede lest he fall.
12 Así que, el que piensa estar [firme], mire no caiga.
13 There hath no tentation taken you, but such as appertaine to man: and God is faithfull, which will not suffer you to be tempted aboue that you be able, but wil euen giue the issue with the tentation, that ye may be able to beare it.
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.
14 Wherefore my beloued, flee from idolatrie.
14 Por tanto, amados míos, huid de la idolatría.
15 I speake as vnto them which haue vnderstanding: iugde ye what I say.
15 Como á sabios hablo; juzgad vosotros lo que digo.
16 The cup of blessing which we blesse, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we breake, is it not the communion of 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?
17 For we that are many, are one bread and one body, because we all are partakers of one bread.
17 Porque un pan, [es que] muchos somos un cuerpo; pues todos participamos de aquel un pan.
18 Beholde Israel, which is after the flesh: are not they which eate of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
18 Mirad á Israel según la carne: los que comen de los sacrificios ¿no son partícipes con el altar?
19 What say I then? that the idole is any thing? or that that which is sacrificed to idoles, is any thing?
19 ¿Qué pues digo? ¿Que el ídolo es algo? ¿ó que sea algo lo que es sacrificado á los ídolos?
20 Nay, but that these things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to deuils, and not vnto God: and I would not that ye should haue fellowship with the deuils.
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.
21 Ye can not drinke the cup of the Lord, and the cup of the deuils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lords table, and of the table of the deuils.
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.
22 Doe we prouoke the Lord to anger? are we stronger then he?
22 ¿O provocaremos á celo al Señor? ¿Somos más fuertes que él?
23 All things are lawfull for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawfull for me, but all things edifie not.
23 Todo me es lícito, mas no todo conviene: todo me es lícito, mas no todo edifica.
24 Let no man seeke his owne, but euery man anothers wealth.
24 Ninguno busque su propio [bien], sino el del otro.
25 Whatsoeuer is solde in the shambles, eate ye, and aske no question for conscience sake.
25 De todo lo que se vende en la carnicería, comed, sin preguntar nada por causa de la conciencia;
26 For the earth is the Lords, and all that therein is.
26 Porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
27 If any of them which beleeue not, call you to a feast, and if ye wil go, whatsoeuer is set before you, eate, asking no question for conscience sake.
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.
28 But if any man say vnto you, This is sacrificed vnto idoles, eate it not, because of him that shewed it, and for the conscience (for the earth is the Lords, and all that therein is)
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.
29 And the conscience, I say, not thine, but of that other: for why should my libertie be condemned of another mans conscience?
29 La conciencia, digo, no tuya, sino del otro. Pues ¿por qué ha de ser juzgada mi libertad por otra conciencia?
30 For if I through Gods benefite be partaker, why am I euill spoken of, for that wherefore I giue thankes?
30 Y si yo con agradecimiento participo, ¿por qué he de ser blasfemado por lo que doy gracias?
31 Whether therefore ye eate, or drinke, or whatsoeuer ye doe, doe all to the glory of God.
31 Si pues coméis, ó bebéis, ó hacéis otra cosa, haced[lo] todo á gloria de Dios.
32 Giue none offence, neither to the Iewes, nor to the Grecians, nor to the Church of God:
32 Sed sin ofensa á Judíos, y á Gentiles, y á la iglesia de Dios:
33 Euen as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine owne profite, but the profite of many, that they might be saued.
33 Como también yo en todas las cosas complazco á todos, no procurando mi propio beneficio, sino el de muchos, para que sean salvos.

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?
