10:14Therefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.

15I speak as to wise men: judge you yourselves what I say.

16The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ$1 And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord$1

17For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.

18Look Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar$1

19What then$1 Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing$1 Or, that the idol is any thing$1

20But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.

21You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.

22Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy$1 Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.

116:12What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he has rendered to me?

13I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

17I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

18I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

6:43For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit; nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit.

44For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns; nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape.

45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

46And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?

47Every one that comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.

48He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and it could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.

49But he that hears, and does not, is like to a man building his house upon the earth without a foundation: against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
