13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. (A)God is faithful, and (B)he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

14 Therefore, my beloved, (C)flee from idolatry. 15 I speak (D)as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 (E)The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? (F)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 (G)one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider (H)the people of Israel:[a] (I)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 (J)an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice (K)they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.
