1 Corinthians 10:22 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

1 Corinthians 10:22

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.

24 Let no one seek his own, but each one ^athe other’s well-being.

1 Corinthians 10:22

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?—by dividing our fellowship between Him and idols (Ezekiel 20:39). Is it our wish to provoke Him to assert His power? Deuteronomy 32:21 is before the apostle's mind [ALFORD], (Exodus 20:5).

are we stronger?—that we can risk a contest with Him.
