1 Corinthians 10:15-22

15I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. 16Is not the 1cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the 2 3bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? 17Since there is one 4bread, we 5who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one 6bread. 18Look at 7the nation 8Israel; are not those who 9eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? 19What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or 10that an idol is anything? 20No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they 11sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. 21 12You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and 13the table of demons. 22Or do we 14provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not 15stronger than He, are we?
