1 Corinthians 10:14-22

14Therefore, my dear friends, get as far away from the worship of false gods as you can.

15I’m talking to intelligent people. Judge for yourselves what I’m saying.

16When we bless the cup of blessing aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? When we break the bread aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ?

17Because there is one loaf, we are one body, although we are many individuals. All of us share one loaf.

18Look at the people of Israel from a human point of view. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices share what is on the altar?

19Do I mean that an offering made to a false god is anything, or that a false god itself is anything?

20Hardly! What I am saying is that these sacrifices which people make are made to demons and not to God. I don’t want you to be partners with demons.

21You cannot drink the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot participate at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.

22Are we trying to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he is?
