01 December - 1 Corinthians 9-11

Jude Fri Nov 23, 2018 6:13 am

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

1 CORINTHIANS 9

1Am I not an emissary? Am I not free? Have I not seen יהושע Messiah our Master? Are you not my work in the Master?

2If to others I am not an emissary, I certainly am to you. For you are the seal of my office of the emissary in the Master.

3My defence to those who examine me is this:

4Do we not have a right to eat and drink?

5Do we not have a right to take along a sister – a wife – as do also the other emissaries, and the brothers of the Master, and Kĕpha?

6Or do only Barnaḇah and I have no right to refrain from working?

7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not feed on the milk of the flock?

8Do I say this as a man? Or does not the Torah say the same too?

9For it has been written in the Torah of Mosheh, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it about oxen Elohim is concerned?

10Or does He say it because of us all? For this was written because of us, that he who ploughs should plough in expectation, and the thresher in expectation of sharing.

11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material goods from you?

12If others share authority over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this authority, but we put up with all, lest we hinder the Good News of Messiah.

13Do you not know that those serving the Set-apart Place eat from the Set-apart Place, and those attending at the altar have their share of the offerings of the altar?

14So also the Master instituted that those announcing the Good News should live from the Good News.

15But I have used none of these, nor have I written this that it should be done so to me. For it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting empty.

16For if I bring the Good News, it is no boasting for me, for necessity is laid on me, and it is woe to me if I do not bring the Good News!

17For if I do this voluntarily I have a reward, but if not voluntarily, I am entrusted with a management.

18What then is my reward? That in bringing the Good News, I should offer the Good News of Messiah without cost, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.

19For though I am free from all, I made myself a servant to all, in order to win more,

20and to the Yehuḏim I became as a Yehuḏite, that I might win Yehuḏim; to those who are under Torah, as under Torah, so as to win those who are under Torah;

21to those without Torah, as without Torah – not being without Torah toward Elohim, but under Torah of Messiah – so as to win those who are without Torah.

22To the weak I became as weak, so as to win the weak. To all men I have become all, so as to save some, by all means.

23And I do this because of the Good News, so as to become a fellow-partaker with it.

24Do you not know that those who run in a race indeed all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to obtain it.

25And everyone who competes controls himself in every way. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we for an incorruptible crown.

26Therefore I run accordingly, not with uncertainty. Thus I fight, not as one who beats the air.

27But I treat my body severely and make it my slave, so that when I have proclaimed to others, I myself might be rejected.

1 CORINTHIANS 10

1For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2and all were immersed into Mosheh in the cloud and in the sea,

3and all ate the same spiritual food,

4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed, and the Rock was Messiah.

5However, with most of them Elohim was not well pleased, for they were laid low in the wilderness.

6And these became examples for us, so that we should not lust after evil, as those indeed lusted.

7And do not become idolaters as some of them, as it has been written, “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play.”

8Neither should we commit whoring, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell,

9neither let us try Messiah, as some of them also tried, and were destroyed by serpents,

10neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11And all these came upon them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come,

12so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he fall.

13No trial has overtaken you except such as is common to man, and Elohim is trustworthy, who shall not allow you to be tried beyond what you are able, but with the trial shall also make the way of escape, enabling you to bear it.

14Therefore, my beloved ones, flee from idolatry.

15I speak as to wise men, judge for yourselves what I say.

16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Messiah? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Messiah?

17Because there is one bread, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

18Look at Yisra’ĕl after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the offerings sharers in the altar?

19What then do I say? That an idol is of any value? Or that which is offered to idols is of any value?

20No, but what the gentiles offer they offer to demonsa and not to Elohim, and I do not wish you to become sharers with demons.

21You are not able to drink the cup of the Master and the cup of demons, you are not able to partake of the table of the Master and of the table of demons.

22Do we provoke the Master to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

23All is permitted me, but not all do profit. All is permitted me, but not all build up.

24Let no one seek his own, but each one that of the other.

25You eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions because of conscience,

26for “The earth belongs to יהוה, and all that fills it.”

27And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you wish to go, you eat whatever is set before you, asking no question on account of the conscience.

28And if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it because of the one pointing it out to you, and on account of the conscience, for “The earth belongs to יהוה, and all that fills it.”

29Now I say conscience, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?

30But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for what I give thanks?

31Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the esteem of Elohim.

32Cause no stumbling, either to the Yehuḏim or to the Greeks or to the assembly of Elohim,

33as I also please all men in all matters, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they might be saved.

1 CORINTHIANS 11

1Become imitators of me, as I also am of Messiah.

2And I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in every way and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you.

3And I wish you to know that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is Elohim.

4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, brings shame to his Head.

5And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered brings shame to her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

6For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

7For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the likeness and esteem of Elohim, but woman is the esteem of man.

8For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

9For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.

10Because of this the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the messengers.

11However, man is not independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Master.

12For as the woman was from the man, even so the man also is through the woman. But all are from Elohim.

13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to Elohim with her head uncovered?

14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man indeed has long hair, it is a disrespect to him?

15And if a woman has long hair, it is an esteem to her, because the long hair has been given to her over against a veil.

16If, however, anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have such a habit, nor do the assemblies of Elohim.

17And in declaring this I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18For in the first place, I hear that when you come together as an assembly, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.

19For there have to be factions even among you, so that the approved ones might be revealed among you.

20So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Master’s supper.

21For, when you eat, each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk.

22Have you not houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the assembly of Elohim and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

23For I received from the Master that which I also delivered to you: that the Master יהושע in the night in which He was delivered up took bread,

24and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

25In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in My blood. As often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me.”

26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Master until He comes.

27So that whoever should eat this bread or drink this cup of the Master unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Master.

28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.

29For the one who is eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Master.

30Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

31For if we were to examine ourselves, we would not be judged.

32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world.

33So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

34And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I shall set in order when I come.
