1 Corinthians 10:16-26

Lexham English Bible LEB

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which 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 share from the one bread.

18 Consider Israel according to the flesh: are not the ones who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?

19 Therefore, what am I saying? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

20 [No], but that [the things] which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers with demons.

21 You are not able to drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You are not able to share the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

22 Or are we attempting to provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than he [is, are we]?

23 All [things] are permitted, but not all [things] are profitable. All [things] are permitted, but not all [things] build up.

24 Let no one seek {his own good} but the [good] of the other.

25 Eat everything that is sold in the meat market, {asking no questions} for the sake of the conscience,

26 for "the earth [is] the Lord's, and its fullness."

New International Version NIV

16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks 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 share the one loaf.

18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

19 Do I mean 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 have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

23 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.

24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,

26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”
