1 Corinthians 10:18

Compare all

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 10:18

Consider Israel after the flesh - Christians are the spiritual "Israel of God." Are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar - Is not this an act of communion with that God to whom they are offered? And is not the case the same with those who eat of the sacrifices which have been offered to idols?
