1 Corinthians 10:15-22

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