1 Corinthians 10:19-24

19Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

22Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

23“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.

24No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
