1 Corinthians 10:14-22 - Warning Against Idolatry

¹⁴ Therefore, my dear brothers, have nothing to do with the worship of idols. ¹⁵ I appeal to your good sense. Make up your minds about what I say. ¹⁶ Does not the consecrated cup which we bless mean that in drinking it we share in the blood of Christ? Does not the bread that we break mean that in eating it we share in the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because there is one loaf, we, many as we are, are one body, for we all share the one loaf. ¹⁸ Think of the Israelites' practices. Do not those who eat what is sacrificed have divine fellowship at the sacrificial altar? ¹⁹ What am I saying then? That there is any such thing as being offered to an idol, or any such thing as an idol? ²⁰ No, but that what the heathen sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. ²¹ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot eat at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons. ²² Or are we trying to arouse the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is?
