1 Corinthians 10:14-22 - Warning Against Idolatry
14 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry, - 15 As, to prudent men, I speak, - judge, ye, what I say: - 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together of the body of the Christ? 17 Because, one loaf, one body, we, the many, are, for we, all, of the one loaf, partake. 18 Be looking at Israel after the flesh: - are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint partakers with the altar? 19 What, then, am I saying? - that, an idol-sacrifice, is anything? or that, an idol, is anything? 20 On the contrary - that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God, they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with the demons! 21 Ye cannot be drinking - a cup of the Lord, and a cup of demons; ye cannot be partaking of, a table of the Lord, and a table of demons. 22 Or are we to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we mightier than he?
