1 Corinthians 10:20-30

20NoG235, but the sacrificesG2380 of pagansG1484 are offeredG2380 to demonsG1140, notG3756 to GodG2316. AndG1161 I do not wantG3756G2309 youG4771 to beG1096 participantsG2844 with demonsG1140. 21You cannotG3756G1410 drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962 andG2532 the cupG4221 of demonsG1140 too; you cannotG3756G1410 partakeG3348 in the tableG5132 of the LordG2962 andG2532 the tableG5132 of demons tooG1140. 22Are we trying to provokeG3863 theG3588 Lord to jealousyG2962? Are weG1510G3361 strongerG2478 than HeG846?

23“EverythingG3956 is permissibleG1832,”1 butG235 notG3756 everythingG3956 is beneficialG4851. “EverythingG3956 is permissibleG1832,” butG235 notG3756 everythingG3956 is edifyingG3618. 24No oneG3367 should seekG2212 his ownG1438 good, butG235 the good of othersG2087.

25EatG2068 anythingG3956 soldG4453 inG1722 the meat marketG3111 withoutG3367 raising questionsG350 ofG1223 conscienceG4893, 26forG1063, “TheG3588 earthG1093 is theG3588 Lord’sG2962, andG2532 theG3588 fullnessG4138 thereofG846.”2

27IfG1487 anG5100 unbelieverG571 invitesG2564 you to a mealG4771 andG2532 you wantG2309 to goG4198, eatG2068 anythingG3956 set beforeG3908 youG4771 withoutG3367 raising questionsG350 ofG1223 conscienceG4893. 28ButG1161 ifG1437 someoneG5100 tellsG2036 youG4771, “ThisG3778 food wasG1510 offered to idolsG1494,” then do notG3361 eatG2068 it, for the sake ofG1223 the oneG1565 whoG3588 toldG3377 you andG2532 for the sake of conscienceG4893—3 29theG3588 otherG2087 one’s conscience, I meanG3004, notG3780 your ownG1438. ForG1063 whyG2443G5101 should myG1473 freedomG1657 be determinedG2919 byG5259 someone else’sG243 conscienceG4893? 30IfG1487 IG1473 partakeG3348 in the meal with thankfulnessG5485, whyG5101 am I denouncedG987 because ofG5228 that for whichG3739 IG1473 give thanksG2168?
