What say I then? That the image is anything? Or that it which is offered to images is anything?

Ye cannot drink of the cup of the Lord, and of the cup of the devils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Wherefore my dear beloved, flee from worshipping of idols.

Nay, but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils.
