RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and 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 and all were immersed 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 and all ate the same spiritual food,
3 Y todos comieron la misma vianda espiritual;
3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the 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 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
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 and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
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 Neither become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up 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.
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 neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
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 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
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 neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
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 And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came,
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 that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he 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 No temptation has taken you—except that of man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above what you are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [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.
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 For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
14 Por tanto, amados míos, huid de la idolatría.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.
15 Como á sabios hablo; juzgad vosotros lo que digo.
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
16 The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the 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 Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
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 See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
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 do I say then? That an idol is anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
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 [No,] but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the 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 are not able to drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons; you are not able to partake of the table of the LORD and of 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 do we arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
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 All things are lawful to me, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful to me, but not all things build up;
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 let no one seek his own—but each another’s.
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 meat-market, not inquiring, because of the 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 its fullness [are] the LORD’s;
26 Porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
27 and if anyone of the unbelieving calls you, and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, inquiring nothing, because of the 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 and if anyone may say to you, “This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat, because of that one who showed [it], and of the conscience, for the LORD’s [is] the earth and its fullness:
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 and conscience, I say, not of yourself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another’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 And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?
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 Whether, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all 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 become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly 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 as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—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).

  1. Commentary 10:13 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Corinthians (Homily XXIV)

    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.

  2. Quotes verse 10:26 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters LIII–LVIII)

  4. Quotes verse 10:13 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book X, Chapters V–VIII)

    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?
