In context

¹⁹Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

²⁰No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.

²¹You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

²²Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

²³“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
