1 Corinthians 10:20 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Here's what I'm actually saying: when people who don't know God make sacrifices to their idols, they're really connecting with dark spiritual forces, not the real God. And I don't want you getting mixed up with that kind of energy.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Paul's basically saying don't mess around with spiritual practices that aren't from God — you'll end up connecting with the wrong team.
