¹⁸Think about the people of Israel. Weren’t they united by eating the sacrifices at the altar? ¹⁹What am I trying to say? Am I saying that food offered to idols has some significance, or that idols are real gods? ²⁰No, not at all. I am saying that these sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. And I don’t want you to participate with demons. ²¹You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too. ²²What? Do we dare to rouse the Lord’s jealousy? Do you think we are stronger than he is?
