1 Corinthians 10:16-21

16Is the 1cupG4221 of blessingG2129 whichG3739 we blessG2127 not a sharingG2842 in the bloodG129 of ChristG5547? Is the 2breadG740 whichG3739 we breakG2806 not a sharingG2842 in the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547?

17SinceG3754 there is oneG1520 loafG740, we 3who are manyG4183 are oneG1520 bodyG4983; for we allG3956 partakeG3348 of the oneG1520 loafG740.

18LookG991 at 4the peopleG4561 of 5IsraelG2474; are thoseG3588 who 6eatG2068 the sacrificesG2378 not partnersG2844 in the altarG2379?

19WhatG5101 do I meanG5346 thenG3767? That foodG1494 sacrificedG1494 toG1494 idolsG1494 is anythingG5100, orG2228 7that an idolG1497 is 8anythingG5100?

20No, but I say that things whichG3739 the Gentiles sacrificeG2380, they 9sacrificeG2380 to demonsG1140 and not to GodG2316; and I do not wantG2309 you to becomeG1096 partnersG2844 with demonsG1140.

21 10You cannotG1410 G3756 drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962 and the cupG4221 of demonsG1140; you cannotG1410 G3756 partakeG3348 of the tableG5132 of the LordG2962 and 11the tableG5132 of demonsG1140.
