10:1  nolo enim vos ignorare fratres         1.  Moreover, brethren, I would not
quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nube         that ye should be ignorant, how that
fuerunt et omnes mare transierunt            all our fathers were under the cloud,
                                             and all passed through the sea;

10:2  et omnes in Mose baptizati sunt        2.  And were all baptized unto Moses in
in nube et in mari                           the cloud and in the sea;

10:3  et omnes eandem escam spiritalem       3.  And did all eat the same spiritual
manducaverunt                                meat;

10:4  et omnes eundem potum spiritalem       4.  And did all drink the same
biberunt bibebant autem de spiritali         spiritual drink: for they drank of that
consequenti eos petra petra autem erat       spiritual Rock that followed them: and
Christus                                     that Rock was Christ.

10:5  sed non in pluribus eorum              5.  But with many of them God was not
beneplacitum est Deo nam prostrati sunt      well pleased: for they were overthrown
in deserto                                   in the wilderness.

10:6  haec autem in figura facta sunt        6.  Now these things were our examples,
nostri ut non simus concupiscentes           to the intent we should not lust after
malorum sicut et illi concupierunt           evil things, as they also lusted.

10:7  neque idolorum cultores                7.  Neither be ye idolaters, as were
efficiamini sicut quidam ex ipsis            some of them; as it is written, The
quemadmodum scriptum est sedit populus       people sat down to eat and drink, and
manducare et bibere et surrexerunt           rose up to play.
ludere

10:8  neque fornicemur sicut quidam ex       8.  Neither let us commit fornication,
ipsis fornicati sunt et ceciderunt una       as some of them committed, and fell in
die viginti tria milia                       one day three and twenty thousand.

10:9  neque temptemus Christum sicut         9.  Neither let us tempt Christ, as
quidam eorum temptaverunt et a               some of them also tempted, and were
serpentibus perierunt                        destroyed of serpents.

10:10  neque murmuraveritis sicut            10.  Neither murmur ye, as some of them
quidam eorum murmuraverunt et perierunt      also murmured, and were destroyed of
ab exterminatore                             the destroyer.

10:11  haec autem omnia in figura            11.  Now all these things happened unto
contingebant illis scripta sunt autem        them for ensamples: and they are
ad correptionem nostram in quos fines        written for our admonition, upon whom
saeculorum devenerunt                        the ends of the world are come.

10:12  itaque qui se existimat stare         12.  Wherefore let him that thinketh he
videat ne cadat                              standeth take heed lest he fall.

10:13  temptatio vos non adprehendat         13.  There hath no temptation taken you
nisi humana fidelis autem Deus qui non       but such as is common to man: but God
patietur vos temptari super id quod          is faithful, who will not suffer you to
potestis sed faciet cum temptatione          be tempted above that ye are able; but
etiam proventum ut possitis sustinere        will with the temptation also make a
                                             way to escape, that ye may be able to
                                             bear it.

10:14  propter quod carissimi mihi           14.  Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee
fugite ab idolorum cultura                   from idolatry.

10:15  ut prudentibus loquor vos             15.  I speak as to wise men; judge ye
iudicate quod dico                           what I say.

10:16  calicem benedictionis cui             16.  The cup of blessing which we
benedicimus nonne communicatio               bless, is it not the communion of the
sanguinis Christi est et panis quem          blood of Christ? The bread which we
frangimus nonne participatio corporis        break, is it not the communion of the
Domini est                                   body of Christ?

10:17  quoniam unus panis unum corpus        17.  For we being many are one bread,
multi sumus omnes quidem de uno pane         and one body: for we are all partakers
participamur                                 of that one bread.

10:18  videte Israhel secundum carnem        18.  Behold Israel after the flesh: are
nonne qui edunt hostias participes sunt      not they which eat of the sacrifices
altaris                                      partakers of the altar?

10:19  quid ergo dico quod idolis            19.  What say I then? that the idol is
immolatum sit aliquid aut quod idolum        any thing, or that which is offered in
sit aliquid                                  sacrifice to idols is any thing?

10:20  sed quae immolant gentes              20.  But I say, that the things which
daemoniis immolant et non Deo nolo           the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice
autem vos socios fieri daemoniorum non       to devils, and not to God: and I would
potestis calicem Domini bibere et            not that ye should have fellowship with
calicem daemoniorum                          devils.

10:21  non potestis mensae Domini            21.  Ye cannot drink the cup of the
participes esse et mensae daemoniorum        Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot
                                             be partakers of the Lord's table, and
                                             of the table of devils.

10:22  an aemulamur Dominum numquid          22.  Do we provoke the Lord to
fortiores illo sumus omnia licent sed        jealousy? are we stronger than he?
non omnia expediunt

10:23  omnia licent sed non omnia            23.  All things are lawful for me, but
aedificant                                   all things are not expedient: all
                                             things are lawful for me, but all
                                             things edify not.

10:24  nemo quod suum est quaerat sed        24.  Let no man seek his own, but every
quod alterius                                man another's wealth.

10:25  omne quod in macello venit            25.  Whatsoever is sold in the
manducate nihil interrogantes propter        shambles, that eat, asking no question
conscientiam                                 for conscience sake:

10:26  Domini est terra et plenitudo         26.  For the earth is the Lord's, and
eius                                         the fulness thereof.

10:27  si quis vocat vos infidelium et       27.  If any of them that believe not
vultis ire omne quod vobis adponitur         bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed
manducate nihil interrogantes propter        to go; whatsoever is set before you,
conscientiam                                 eat, asking no question for conscience
                                             sake.

10:28  si quis autem dixerit hoc             28.  But if any man say unto you, This
immolaticium est idolis nolite               is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat
manducare propter illum qui indicavit        not for his sake that shewed it, and
et propter conscientiam                      for conscience sake: for the earth is
                                             the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

10:29  conscientiam autem dico non tuam      29.  Conscience, I say, not thine own,
sed alterius ut quid enim libertas mea       but of the other: for why is my liberty
iudicatur ab alia conscientia                judged of another man's conscience?

10:30  si ego cum gratia participo quid      30.  For if I by grace be a partaker,
blasphemor pro eo quod gratias ago           why am I evil spoken of for that for
                                             which I give thanks?

10:31  sive ergo manducatis sive             31.  Whether therefore ye eat, or
bibitis vel aliud quid facitis omnia in      drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to
gloriam Dei facite                           the glory of God.

10:32  sine offensione estote Iudaeis        32.  Give none offence, neither to the
et gentilibus et ecclesiae Dei               Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the
                                             church of God:

10:33  sicut et ego per omnia omnibus        33.  Even as I please all men in all
placeo non quaerens quod mihi utile est      things, not seeking mine own profit,
sed quod multis ut salvi fiant               but the profit of many, that they may
                                             be saved.
