1 Corinthians 10:15-24
English Standard Version
15 I speak (A)as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 (B)The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? (C)The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are (D)one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider (E)the people of Israel:[a] (F)are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? 19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that (G)an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice (H)they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 (I)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and (J)the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and (K)the table of demons. 22 (L)Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? (M)Are we stronger than he?
Do All to the Glory of God
23 (N)“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. 24 (O)Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.
