1 Corinthians 10:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
In context
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.
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
22 Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
