Notes

1 Corinthians 10:22

If you ignore Paul's advice on this matter, you may provoke the Lord's jealousy and judgment, as Israel did (see 10:6–11; Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 32:21).

1 Corinthians 10:14–22

Paul warns his readers against anything that might be seen as idolatry (see 1 John 5:21), including eating food to honor a pagan god.

1 Corinthians 10:1–22

After sharing a personal example about giving up one's rights for others (chapter 9), Paul addresses the issue of eating meat offered to idols (8:1–13). He warns believers about God's anger towards those who sin, especially those involved in idol worship.
