Therefore, flee from idolatry.

I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of christ?

And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for well all share the one loaf.

Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

Do I mean then that food sacrified to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

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

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.

Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealously? Are we stronger than he?
