010:012 So then let him who thinks he is standing securely beware of falling.
010:013 No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.
010:014 Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.
010:015 I speak as to men of sense: judge for yourselves of what I say.
010:016 The cup of blessing, which we bless, does it not mean a joint-participation in the blood of Christ? The loaf of bread which we break, does it not mean a joint-participation in the body of Christ?
010:017 Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
010:018 Look at the Israelites—the nation and their ritual. Are not those who eat the sacrifices joint-partakers in the altar?
010:019 Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real thing?
010:020 No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice
to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship
with one another through the demons.
010:021 You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons:
you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord
and in the table of demons.
