1 Corinthians 10:15-22
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?

New International Version
15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 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) a participation in the body of Christ?(B) 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body,(C) for we all share the one loaf.
18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices(D) participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?(E) 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons,(F) not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 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.(G) 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?(H) Are we stronger than he?(I)

15 I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation[a] in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation[b] in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider the people of Israel;[c] are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? 19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22 Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

King James Version
1 Corinthians 10:15-22
King James Version
15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

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