12 Therefore alet him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but aGod is faithful, bwho will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to1 bear it.
Flee from Idolatry
14 Therefore, my beloved, aflee from idolatry.
15 I speak as to awise men; judge for yourselves what I say.
16 aThe cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the1 communion of the blood of Christ? bThe bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For awe, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
18 Observe aIsrael bafter the flesh: cAre not those who eat of the sacrifices1 partakers of the altar?
19 What am I saying then? aThat an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?
20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles asacrifice bthey sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.
21 aYou cannot drink the cup of the Lord and bthe cup of demons; you cannot partake of the cLord’s table and of the table of demons.
22 Or do we aprovoke the Lord to jealousy? bAre we stronger than He?
All to the Glory of God
23 All things are lawful1 for me, but not all things are ahelpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things2 edify.
