1 Corinthians 10:14-22

There is encouragement and hope when face with temptation. Because of this, Paul encourages his readers to flee from idolatry. He then makes reference to the bread and the cup, this that we take part in. This is contrasted to the sacrifices that pagans make to their gods in their rituals. Food offered to idols is nothing as Paul previously mentioned, but he does not want them to be partaking in these rituals. We cannot partake in the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. Thus, we should not partake in those rituals. Doing this would be a matter of provoking God to jealousy. He is the one we serve and if we partake in those other rituals sacrificing to demons we partake in worshiping another god.
