16 (A)The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the [a]communion of the blood of Christ? (B)The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For (C)we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

18 Observe (D)Israel (E)after the flesh: (F)Are not those who eat of the sacrifices [b]partakers of the altar? 19 What am I saying then? (G)That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles (H)sacrifice (I)they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 (J)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and (K)the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the (L)Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we (M)provoke the Lord to jealousy? (N)Are we stronger than He?
