1 Corinthians 10:14-22

14So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.

15You are reasonable people. Decide for yourselves if what I am saying is true.

16When we bless the cup at the Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ?

17And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body.

18Think about the people of Israel. Weren’t they united by eating the sacrifices at the altar?

19What am I trying to say? Am I saying that food offered to idols has some significance, or that idols are real gods?

20No, not at all. I am saying that these sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. And I don’t want you to participate with demons.

21You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too.

22What? Do we dare to rouse the Lord’s jealousy? Do you think we are stronger than he is?
