   22 (Dt 32:21; 32:16) Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?   
   Are we stronger than He?   
      
   [1] Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all   
   our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;   
   [2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;   
   [3] And did all eat the same spiritual meat;   
   [4] And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that   
   spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.   
   [5] But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown   
   in the wilderness.   
   [6] Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust   
   after evil things, as they also lusted.   
   [7] Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The   
   people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.   
   [8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell   
   in one day three and twenty thousand.   
   [9] Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were   
   destroyed of serpents.   
   [10] Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of   
   the destroyer.   
   [11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are   
   written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.   
   [12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.   
   [13] There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but   
   God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are   
   able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be   
   able to bear it.   
   [14] Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.   
   [15] I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.   
   [16] The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the   
   blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the   
   body of Christ?   
   [17] For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers   
   of that one bread.   
   [18] Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices   
   partakers of the alter?   
   [19] What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered   
   in sacrifice to idols is any thing?   
   [20] But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice   
   to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship   
   with devils.   
   [21] Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot   
   be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.   
   [22] Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?   
      
   Do All to the Glory of God   
      
   23 (1Co 6:12; 8:9) "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are   
   helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things edify.   
   24 (1Co 10:33; 13:5) Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's   
   well-being.   
   25 (1Co 8:7) Eat whatever is sold in the meat market,   
   asking no question for the sake of conscience,   
   26 (Ps 24:1; 50:12) for "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."   
   (Ps 24:1.)   
   27 If any of those who do not believe invite you to a feast,   
   and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you,   
   asking no question for the sake of conscience.   
   28 But if anyone says to you, "This was offered in sacrifice to idols,"   
   do not eat it for the sake of him that mentioned it and for the sake   
   of conscience, for "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." (Ps 24:1.)   
   29 (1Co 9:19) Conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other.   
   For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?   
   30 (Ro 14:6; 1Ti 4:3-4) If I partake with thankfulness,   
   why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?   
   31 (Col 3:17; 1Pe 4:11) Therefore, whether you eat, or drink,   
   or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.   
   32 (Ac 20:28; 1Co 8:13; Ro 14:13) Give no offense, neither to the Jews,   
   nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God,   
   33 (1Co 10:24) just as I try to please all men in all things,   
   not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.   
      
   [23] All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all   
   things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.   
   [24] Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.   
   [25] Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for   
   conscience sake:   
   [26] For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.   
   [27] If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed   
   to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience   
   sake.   
   [28] But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols,   
   eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth   
   is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:   
   [29] Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my   
   liberty judged of another man's conscience?   
   [30] For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for   
   which I give thanks?   
   [31] Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the   
   glory of God.   
   [32] Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the   
   church of God:   
   [33] Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit,   
   but the profit of many, that they may be saved.   
      
   1 Corinthians 11   
      
   1 (1Co 4:16; Php 3:17) Follow me as I follow Christ.   
      
   [1] Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.   
      
   Covering the Head in Worship   
      
   2 (2Th 2:15; 1Co 4:17; 11:17) I praise you, brothers, that you remember me   
   in all things and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you.   
   3 (Ge 3:16; 1Co 3:23; Eph 4:15) But I would have you know that the head   
   of the woman is the man, the head of every man is Christ,   
   and the head of Christ is God.   
   4 Every man praying or prophesying having   
   his head covered dishonors his head,   
   5 (Dt 21:12; Ac 21:9) but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head   
   uncovered dishonors her head, for that is the same as if she were shaved.   
   6 For if the woman is not covered, let her also cut off her hair.   
   But if it is a shame for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved,   
   let her be covered.   
   7 (Jas 3:9; Ge 5:1) For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,   
   because he is the image and glory of God.   
   But the woman is the glory of the man.   
   8 (1Ti 2:13; Ge 2:21-23) The man is not from the woman,   
   but the woman from the man.   
   9 (Ge 2:18) The man was not created for the woman,   
   but the woman for the man.   
   10 For this reason the woman ought to have a veil of authority over her head,   
   because of the angels.   
   11 (Gal 3:28) Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman,   
   nor the woman without the man in the Lord.   
   12 (Ro 11:36) For just as the woman came from the man,   
   so the man comes through the woman, but all things come from God.   
   13 (Lk 12:57) Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray   
   to God uncovered?   
   14 Does even nature itself not teach you that if a man has long hair it is   
   a shame to him?   
   15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given   
   her for a covering.   
   16 (1Co 7:17; 1Th 2:14) But if anyone seems to be contentious,   
   we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.   
      
   [2] Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep   
   the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.   
   [3] But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the   
   head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.   
   [4] Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth   
   his head.
