The whole interlinear chapter
1 Cor. 12:1      1 Cor. 12:3

First letter to the Corinthians 12:2

You know that while you were pagans, you were constantly led away (like prisoners) to mute idols. You were led (influenced) as soon as there was an opportunity [for the flesh or the devil to act].
[The ancient expression "it feels right" is not a reliable way to determine whether something is true and right.]
