1 Corinthians 8:4-6

4 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that ^a“an idol has no real existence,” and that ^b“there is no God but one.” 5 For although there may be ^cso-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet ^dfor us there is one God, the Father, ^efrom whom are all things and for whom we exist, and ^fone Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and ^gthrough whom we exist.

1 Corinthians 10:19-20

19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that ^han idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice ⁱthey offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.
