1 Corinthians 10:14-22 - Warning Against Idolatry

¹⁴ Therefore, my dear friends, shun the worship of idols. ¹⁵ I speak to you as man of discernment; form your own judgment about what I am saying. ¹⁶ In the Cup of Blessing which we bless, is not there a sharing in the blood of the Christ? And in the Bread which we break, is not there a sharing in the Body of the Christ? ¹⁷ The Bread is one, and we, though many, are one body; for we all partake of that one Bread. ¹⁸ Look at the people of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices share with the altar? ¹⁹ What do I mean? you ask. Than an offering made to an idol, or the idol itself, is anything? ²⁰ No; what I say is that the sacrifices offered by the Gentiles 'are offered to demons and to a Being who is no God,' and I do not want you to share with demons. ²¹ You cannot drink both the Cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake at the Table of the Lord and at the table of demons. ²² Or 'are we to rouse the jealousy of the Lord'? Are we stronger than he?
