14 But mark me, note what I say.
15 Beware, O beware, of idolatry, of pagan feasts and rites. Study well my words.
16 That cup over which we pronounce the blessing,
17 and the bread which we break, assembling ourselves together for the purpose —
18 have they anything to do with the rites observed by pagans, and can we who take this cup of the Lord fall into the error of idolatry?
19 Certainly the image and the meat sacrificed to it are nothing —
20 we know that. But the heathen sacrifice “not to God, but to devils.” (Deut. xxxii. 17).
