1 Corinthians 10:14-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ Therefore, my ^(A)beloved, flee from ^(B)idolatry. ¹⁵ I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. ¹⁶ Is not the ^(C)cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the ^[a](D)bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Since there is one ^[b]bread, we ^(E)who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one ^[c]bread. ¹⁸ Look at ^[d]the nation ^(F)Israel; are not those who ^(G)eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? ¹⁹ What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or ^(H)that an idol is anything? ²⁰ No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they ^(I)sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. ^21 (J)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and ^(K)the table of demons. ²² Or do we ^(L)provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not ^(M)stronger than He, are we?
