19. Do I mean that what is offered to a statue of a god is anything? Do I mean that a statue of a god is anything?
20. No! But what is offered by those who worship statues of gods is really offered to demons. It is not offered to God. I don't want you to be sharing with demons.
21. You can't drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too. You can't have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.

23. You say, "Everything is permitted." But not everything is good for us. Again you say, "Everything is permitted." But not everything builds us up.
24. We should not look out for our own interests. Instead, we should look out for the interests of others.
