On Sacrifice

1 Corinthians 10:19-21

[19] Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? [20] No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. [21] You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

Psalm 51:15-17

[15] Open my lips, Lord,

    and my mouth will declare your praise.

[16] You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;

    you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

[17] My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;

    a broken and contrite heart

    you, God, will not despise.

Proverbs 21:27

[27] The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable—

    how much more so when brought with evil intent!

Psalm 50:8-15

[8] I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices

    or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

[9] I have no need of a bull from your stall

    or of goats from your pens,

[10] for every animal of the forest is mine,

    and the cattle on a thousand hills.

[11] I know every bird in the mountains,

    and the insects in the fields are mine.

[12] If I were hungry I would not tell you,

    for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

[13] Do I eat the flesh of bulls

    or drink the blood of goats?

[14] “Sacrifice thank offerings to God,

    fulfill your vows to the Most High,

[15] and call on me in the day of trouble;

    I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
