1 Corinthians 10:20-30

20No, but I do say that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons!

21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

22Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

23“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up.

24No one is to seek his own good, but the good of the other person.

25Eat everything that is sold in the meat market, without raising questions for the sake of conscience,

26since the earth is the Lord’s, and all that is in it.

27If any of the unbelievers invites you over and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, without raising questions for the sake of conscience.

28But if someone says to you, “This is food from a sacrifice,” do not eat it, out of consideration for the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.

29I do not mean your own conscience, but the other person’s. For why is my freedom judged by another person’s conscience?

30If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I criticized because of something for which I give thanks?
