1 Corinthians 10:21 in Context — 1 Corinthians 10

19 Que dis-je donc? Que la viande sacrifiée aux idoles est quelque chose, ou qu’une idole est quelque chose? Nullement.

20 Je dis que ce qu’on sacrifie, on le sacrifie à des démons, et non à Dieu; or, je ne veux pas que vous soyez en communion avec les démons.

21 Vous ne pouvez boire la coupe du Seigneur, et la coupe des démons; vous ne pouvez participer à la table du Seigneur, et à la table des démons.

22 Voulons-nous provoquer la jalousie du Seigneur? Sommes-nous plus forts que lui?

23 Tout est permis, mais tout n’est pas utile; tout est permis, mais tout n’édifie pas.
