15 I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, 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 partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
22 Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
