1 Corinthians 10

Which worship songs are based on 1 Corinthians 10?

  1. Humpty Dumpty Country Club — ApologetiX (2010) 1 Corinthians 10:12

    The song explicitly cites this verse as a warning against spiritual overconfidence. Its repeated movement from apparent security to falling reflects Paul's warning to those who think they stand.

  2. Slow Fade — Casting Crowns (2007) 1 Corinthians 10:12

    The bridge closely adapts Paul's warning that those who consider themselves secure must beware of falling. The song applies this caution against spiritual overconfidence to compromises that can destroy personal integrity and family relationships.

  3. Alive Remix — Da’ T.R.U.T.H. (2011) 1 Corinthians 10:12

    Da’ T.R.U.T.H.'s account of assuming he could remain standing because of his experience, only to fall through pride, closely adapts Paul's warning against confidence in one's own stability.

  4. Only Human — Lecrae (2020) 1 Corinthians 10:12

    Lecrae directly invokes Paul's warning that apparent spiritual security can precede a fall, applying it to his own complacency and collapse.

  5. He Said — Group 1 Crew (2012) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The chorus adapts Paul's assurance that God will not allow temptation beyond a person's capacity to endure. The song extends this assurance to hardship generally, whereas the passage specifically concerns temptation and God's provision of a way through it.

  6. Like I Never Felt Before — Aaron Shust (2007) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The assurance that God's help prevents the singer from facing more than he can bear closely adapts Paul's promise of divine provision for endurance. The song extends that assurance to daily difficulties, whereas the verse specifically addresses temptation.

  7. Escape — Newsboys (2011) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The song connects familiar temptation with the assurance that an escape remains available. Its combination of temptation, being overtaken, and a way out strongly recalls Paul's assurance that God provides an escape so believers can endure temptation.

  8. Take Me Out of the Dark — Gary Valenciano (2014) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The assurance that God will not allow more than the believer can bear paraphrases Paul’s promise concerning temptation. The preceding confession about temptation supports this specific connection, although the chorus broadens the assurance beyond the verse’s precise scope.

  9. Due Time — Bizzle (2025) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The second verse directly applies Paul’s assurance that God provides an escape from temptation, presenting prayer and flight toward God as that available exit.

  10. Purpose in Your Storm — Michelle Williams (2007) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The assurance that God will not allow more than a person can bear adapts Paul's promise about the limits of temptation. The song broadens that promise to hardship generally, whereas the passage specifically concerns temptation and God's provision for enduring it.

  11. Carry the Burden — John Schlitt (2011) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The supplied lyric heading explicitly cites this verse, anchoring the song’s treatment of pressure and temptation. Its assurance of God’s faithfulness and help in enduring difficulty adapts the passage’s promise of a way through temptation.

  12. In The Meantime — Jess Ray (2025) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The opening assurance closely echoes Paul's statement that God will not permit a trial beyond what a person can bear. The song applies that promise broadly to burdens, whereas Paul's immediate subject is temptation.

  13. Navigation — Isaac Carree (2011) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    The closing passage invokes Paul's assurance that God provides an escape from temptation. The song turns that assurance into accountability by emphasizing that the available escape was deliberately refused.

  14. X — Bizzle & Datin & K. Allico (2018) 1 Corinthians 10:13

    Datin describes Satan's temptation as dangerous bait while affirming that an available escape accompanies it. This closely paraphrases Paul's assurance that God provides a way out when believers are tempted.

  15. Don't Be Fooled — ApologetiX (2010) 1 Corinthians 10:19-20

    The song explicitly directs listeners to these verses in its warning against pagan worship. Paul distinguishes idols' lack of genuine divinity from the demonic involvement in pagan sacrifices; the song cites that argument without restating its demonic dimension.

  16. To God Alone — Aaron Shust (2009) 1 Corinthians 10:31

    The chorus places all speech and action under the purpose of glorifying God, closely adapting Paul's instruction to do everything for God's glory.

  17. For Your Glory — Allie Paige (2019) 1 Corinthians 10:31

    The chorus places the singer's entire range of actions under the purpose of glorifying God, closely paralleling Paul's instruction to do everything for God's glory.

  18. For the Glory — Emcee N.I.C.E. (2022) 1 Corinthians 10:31

    The repeated dedication of every pursuit to divine glory closely reflects Paul’s instruction to direct all ordinary actions toward God’s glory.

  19. Do Everything — Steven Curtis Chapman (2011) 1 Corinthians 10:31

    The chorus closely adapts Paul's instruction to direct every activity toward God's glory. The song applies that instruction to everyday chores, employment, and other ordinary activities.

  20. I Want To Tell You A Story — Brian Free & Assurance (2010) 1 Corinthians 10:31

    The chorus closely adapts Paul’s instruction to direct every activity toward God’s glory, presenting that purpose as the result of the singer’s conversion.

1 Corinthians 10 (King James Version)

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 altar?

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?

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.
