1 Corinthians 10:20 in Context — 1 Corinthians 10

18 Mirad á Israel según la carne: los que comen de los sacrificios ¿no son partícipes con el altar?

19 ¿Qué pues digo? ¿Que el ídolo es algo? ¿ó que sea algo lo que es sacrificado á los ídolos?

20 Antes [digo] que lo que los Gentiles sacrifican, á los demonios [lo] sacrifican, y no á Dios: y no querría que vosotros fueseis partícipes con los demonios.

21 No podéis beber la copa del Señor, y la copa de los demonios: no podéis ser partícipes de la mesa del Señor, y de la mesa de los demonios.

22 ¿O provocaremos á celo al Señor? ¿Somos más fuertes que él?
