1 Corinthians 10:20-33

20No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they 1sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. 212You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and 3the table of demons. 22Or do we 4provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not 5stronger than He, are we?

236All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things 7edify. 24Let no one 8seek his own good, but that of his 9neighbor. 2510Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake; 2611for the earth is the Lord’s, and 12all it contains. 27If 13one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, 14eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake. 28But 15if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake; 29I mean not your own conscience, but the other man’s; for 16why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30If I partake with thankfulness, 17why am I slandered concerning that for which I 18give thanks?

31Whether, then, you eat or drink or 19whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 3220Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to 21the church of God; 33just as I also 22please all men in all things, 23not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, 24so that they may be saved.
