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?

1 Corinthians 10:16

The cup which we bless - By setting it apart to a sacred use, and solemnly invoking the blessing of God upon it. Is it not the communion of the blood of Christ - The means of our partaking of those invaluable benefits, which are the purchase of the blood of Christ. The communion of the body of Christ - The means of our partaking of those benefits which were purchased by the body of Christ - offered for us.
