New Century Version

1 Corinthians 10:12-18 New Century Version (NCV)

12. If you think you are strong, you should be careful not to fall.

13. The only temptation that has come to you is that which everyone has. But you can trust God, who will not permit you to be tempted more than you can stand. But when you are tempted, he will also give you a way to escape so that you will be able to stand it.

14. So, my dear friends, run away from the worship of idols.

15. I am speaking to you as to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.

16. We give thanks for the cup of blessing, which is a sharing in the blood of Christ. And the bread that we break is a sharing in the body of Christ.

17. Because there is one loaf of bread, we who are many are one body, because we all share that one loaf.

18. Think about the Israelites: Do not those who eat the sacrifices share in the altar?
