1 Corinthians 10:14-22 LITV (14) On account of this, flee from idolatry, my beloved. (15) I speak as to prudent ones; you judge what I say. (16) The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ? (17) Because we, the many, are one bread, one body, for we all partake of the one bread. (18) Look at Israel according to flesh; are not those eating the sacrifices partakers of the altar? (19) What then do I say, that an idol is anything, or that an idolatrous sacrifice is anything? (20) But the things the nations sacrifice, "they sacrifice to demons, and not to God." (Deut. 32:17) But I do not want you to become sharers of demons; (21) you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and a cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and a table of demons. (22) Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? (Deut. 32:21)
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 CEV (14) My friends, you must keep away from idols. (15) I am speaking to you as people who have enough sense to know what I am talking about. (16) When we drink from the cup that we ask God to bless, isn't that sharing in the blood of Christ? When we eat the bread that we break, isn't that sharing in the body of Christ? (17) By sharing in the same loaf of bread, we become one body, even though there are many of us. (18) Aren't the people of Israel sharing in the worship when they gather around the altar and eat the sacrifices offered there? (19) Am I saying that either the idols or the food sacrificed to them is anything at all? (20) No, I am not! That food is really sacrificed to demons and not to God. (Deut. 32:17) I don't want you to have anything to do with demons. (21) You cannot drink from the cup of demons and still drink from the Lord's cup. You cannot eat at the table of demons and still eat at the Lord's table. (22) We would make the Lord jealous if we did that. And we are not stronger than the Lord. (Deut. 32:21)
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 GNB (14) So then, my dear friends, keep away from the worship of idols. (15) I speak to you as sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. (16) The cup we use in the Lord's Supper and for which we give thanks to God: when we drink from it, we are sharing in the blood of Christ. And the bread we break: when we eat it, we are sharing in the body of Christ. (17) Because there is the one loaf of bread, all of us, though many, are one body, for we all share the same loaf. (18) Consider the people of Israel; those who eat what is offered in sacrifice share in the altar's service to God. (19) Do I imply, then, that an idol or the food offered to it really amounts to anything? (20) No! What I am saying is that what is sacrificed on pagan altars is offered to demons, not to God. (Deut. 32:17) And I do not want you to be partners with demons. (21) You cannot drink from the Lord's cup and also from the cup of demons; you cannot eat at the Lord's table and also at the table of demons. (22) Or do we want to make the Lord jealous? Do we think that we are stronger than he? (Deut. 32:21)
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 ESV (14) Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. (15) I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. (16) The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? (17) Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. (18) Consider the people of Israel: are 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 an idol is anything? (20) No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. (Deut. 32:17) I do not want you to be participants with demons. (21) You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. (22) Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? (Deut. 32:21)
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 GW (14) Therefore, my dear friends, get as far away from the worship of false gods as you can. (15) I'm talking to intelligent people. Judge for yourselves what I'm saying. (16) When we bless the cup of blessing aren't we sharing in the blood of Christ? When we break the bread aren't we sharing in the body of Christ? (17) Because there is one loaf, we are one body, although we are many individuals. All of us share one loaf. (18) Look at the people of Israel from a human point of view. Don't those who eat the sacrifices share what is on the altar? (19) Do I mean that an offering made to a false god is anything, or that a false god itself is anything? (20) Hardly! What I am saying is that these sacrifices which people make are made to demons and not to God. (Deut. 32:17) I don't want you to be partners with demons. (21) You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons. You cannot participate at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons. (22) Are we trying to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he is? (Deut. 32:21)
