14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.15I speak as to wise men.Judge what I say.16The cup of blessing which we bless,isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ?The bread which we break,isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?17Because there is one loaf of bread,we, who are many, are one body;for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.18Consider Israel according to the flesh.Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

19What am I saying then?That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything,or that an idol is anything?20But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice,they sacrifice to demons and not to God,and I don’t desirethat you would have fellowship with demons.21You can’t both drink the cup of the Lordand the cup of demons.You can’t both partake of the table of the Lordand of the table of demons.22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?Are we stronger than he?

12What will I give to the Lord for all his benefits toward me?13I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the Lord’s name.

17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,and will call on the Lord’s name.18I will pay my vows to the Lord,yes, in the presence of all his people,

25But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother,his mother’s sister,Mary the wife of Clopas,and Mary Magdalene.26Therefore when Jesus saw his mother,and the disciple whom he loved standing there,he said to his mother,“Woman, behold, your son!”27Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!”From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
