1 Corinthians 10:22
Compare all
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? - All idolatry is represented as a sort of spiritual adultery; it is giving that heart to Satan that should be devoted to God; and he is represented as being jealous, because of the infidelity of those who have covenanted to give their hearts to him.

Are we stronger than he? - As he has threatened to punish such transgressors, and will infallibly do it, can we resist his omnipotence? A sinner should consider, while he is in rebellion against God, whether he be able to resist that power whereby God will inflict vengeance.
