1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 10 ©

1 The Jews who came out of Egypt had all sacraments typical of ours, yet many of them perished through sin. 6 Their examples should serve, as they were intended, for our admonition. 13 God will not suffer his servants to be tempted beyond their strength. 14 Christians must flee idolatry, and not by partaking of idol sacrifices own fellowship with devils. 23 Even in the use of things lawful we should consult the good of others, 31 and refer all we do to God's glory, 32 careful to give none offence, after the apostle's own example.
