1 Corinthians 10:18-22

18 Consider ^hthe people of Israel: ^{▼▼Greek Consider Israel according to the flesh} ^jare not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? 19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that ^kan idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice ^lthey offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 ^mYou cannot drink the cup of the Lord and ⁿthe cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and ^othe table of demons. 22 ^pShall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? ^qAre we stronger than he?
