1 Corinthians 10:18

Read in context

1 Corinthians 10:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

17 Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.

18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?

19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
