你等做毋得啉主个杯又啉鬼个杯，做毋得參加主个桌席又參加鬼个桌席。

这是什么意思？

This verse from the Bible warns that Christians cannot serve two masters. It says you can't take part in both Christian rituals and practices of other religions or evil influences. The message is clear: choose one path.

儿童解释

Imagine you have two best friends who never get along. If you're always playing with one friend, you can't also be hanging out with the other at the same time. This verse says it's like that with God and other things that are not good for us.

历史背景

1 Corinthians was written by Paul around 53-54 AD to the Christian community in Corinth. The audience was a mixed group of Jews and Gentiles, facing issues of idolatry and immorality. This verse addresses their struggle with participating in both pagan feasts and Christian gatherings.
