1 Corinthians 10:14-22
New King James Version
Flee from Idolatry
14 Therefore, my beloved, (A)flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to (B)wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 (C)The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the [a]communion of the blood of Christ? (D)The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For (E)we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
18 Observe (F)Israel (G)after the flesh: (H)Are not those who eat of the sacrifices [b]partakers of the altar? 19 What am I saying then? (I)That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles (J)sacrifice (K)they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 (L)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and (M)the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the (N)Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we (O)provoke the Lord to jealousy? (P)Are we stronger than He?

American Standard Version
14 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a [a]communion of the blood of Christ? The [b]bread which we break, is it not a [c]communion of the body of Christ? 17 [d]seeing that we, who are many, are one [e]bread, one body: for we all partake [f]of the one [g]bread. 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar? 19 What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
