在第十章開頭，保祿指出以色列的大部分人在出埃及後蒙受諸多恩典，卻在曠野中遭受懲罰。隨後，他進一步闡述了自己的觀點。

從以色列和基督徒的禮儀出發，保祿指出那些參與獻祭的人，也參與了祭壇和祭壇所獻祭的神。

有些基督徒會憑著確信回答說：「可是沒有別的神啊！」

對此，保祿回應：「的確沒有別的神，但有魔鬼，不是嗎？所以，參與祭偶像之物就等於參與魔鬼！」

這在今天依然適用。

一個中立的第三方不存在，耶穌與其他信仰之間沒有交集的莫一種的第三場。

一切都必須符合耶穌的意向，否則就會落入魔鬼的意向。正如保祿所說的：「凡不出於信心做的，就是罪」（羅14:23）。

After showing, at the beginning of chapter 10, that the great part of Israel, after receiving many graces when exiting from Egypt were punished in the desert, Paul goes a step further in his argumentation.

Starting from the liturgy of Israel and of the Christian community, Paul state that those who share in the offerings share also in the altar and the god to which the altar is dedicated.

Some disciples would answer, out of their sure knowledge: But there are no other gods!

To this, Paul replies: Yes, there are no other gods, but demons are there, aren’t they? Therefore, having a share in the meat offered to idols amounts to having a share in demons!

This is true also today. There is no third, neutral place, where an encounter between Jesus and other faiths is possible.

 Everything must be inside Jesus’ intention, otherwise it will fall into the devil’s intention。

 As Paul says: “whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.”
