1 Corinthians 10:19-24

19Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything?

20No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

22Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?

23“Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,” but not everything builds others up.

24Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person.
