Warning against Idolatry and Shared Participation

1 Corinthians 10:14-22

10
Chapter 10
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to prudent ones: you judge what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless—is it not a partnership in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break—is it not a partnership in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Look at Israel according to the flesh. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners of the altar? 19 What then am I saying? That a sacrifice to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 But what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to become partners of the demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of the demons. 22 Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
