1 Corinthians 10:14–28

¹⁴Therefore, my ^abeloved, flee from ^bidolatry.

¹⁵I speak as to prudent people. You judge what I say.

¹⁶Is not the ^acup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the ^1bbread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ?

¹⁷Since there is one ¹bread, we ^awho are many are one body, for we all partake of the one ²bread.

¹⁸Look at ¹the nation ^aIsrael. Are not those who ^beat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?

¹⁹What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or ^athat an idol is anything?

²⁰No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they ^asacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not want you to become sharers in demons.

^21aYou cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and ^bthe table of demons.

²²Or do we ^aprovoke the ¹Lord to jealousy? Are we ^bstronger than He?

^23aAll things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things ^bbuild up.

²⁴Let no one ^aseek his own good, but that of the other person.

^25aEat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake.

^26aFor the earth is the ¹Lord’s, as well as its fullness.

²⁷If ^aone of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, ^beat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake.

²⁸But ^aif anyone says to you, “This is meat consecrated to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake.
