1 Corinthians 10:14-22 - Warning Against Idolatry

¹⁴ Shun idolatry, then, my beloved. ¹⁵ I am speaking to sensible people; weigh my words for yourselves. ¹⁶ The cup of blessing, which we bless, is that not participating in the blood of Christ? The bread we break, is that not participating in the body of Christ? ¹⁷ (for many as we are, we are one Bread, one Body, since we all partake of the one Bread). ¹⁸ Look at the rites of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? ¹⁹ Do I imply, you ask, that 'food offered to an idol has any meaning, or that an idol itself means any thing'? ²⁰ No, what I imply is that anything people sacrifice is sacrificed to daemons, not to God. And I do not want you to participate in daemons! ²¹ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of daemons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and also of the table of daemons. ²² What! do we intend to rouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he is?
