‏ 1 Corinthians 10:19-22

Summary for 1Cor 10:19-20: 10:19-20  a Idols have no reality or life (see 8:4-6  b), and sacrifices made to them accomplish nothing. The sacrifices pagans make to idols are actually unknowingly made to demons (see Deut 32:16-17  c; Ps 106:37  d; Rev 9:20  e). Those who share in their religious meals are thereby uniting themselves with demons.
10:21  f Believers should avoid participating in religious meals eaten in a pagan temple (see 8:10  g), because those united to the Lord (Christ) cannot simultaneously be united to demons (see 2 Cor 6:14-16  h).
10:22  i To ignore Paul’s advice on this matter is to rouse the Lord’s jealousy and judgment, just as Israel did (see 10:6-11  j; Exod 20:5  k; Deut 32:21  l).
