Idolatry - Week 1: Friday

1 Corinthians 10:14, 21-22

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?

Commentary

Ambrosiaster

St. Paul is exhorting the Corinthians to avoid any connection with idolatry, so that not only their bodies but their minds as well might be separated from it in order to destroy any form of temptation. Anyone involved in idolatry will expect something out of it. To trust in an idol is to turn away from God.
