1 Corinthians 10:16-21
10:16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ?
10:17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread.
10:18 Look at the people of Israel. 1 Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?
10:19 Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything?
10:20 No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice 2 is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.
10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
1 tn Grk “Israel according to (the) flesh.”
2 tn Grk “what they sacrifice”; the referent (the pagans) is clear from the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.
