1 Corinthians 10:18-22

Learn from Israel, Flee Idolatry, and Seek the Good of Others for God’s Glory

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?

19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.

21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

22 Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
