1 Corinthians 10:20-22
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.[a] 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22 Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
