1 Corinthians 10:19-33

19What do I mean then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or 1that an idol is 2anything? 20No, but I say that things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they 3sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons. 214You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and 5the table of demons. 22Or do we 6provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not 7stronger than He, are we?

238All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things 910build people up. 24No one is to 11seek his own advantage, but rather that of his 12neighbor. 2513Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions, for the sake of conscience; 2614for the earth is the Lord’s, and 15all it contains. 27If 16one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, 17eat anything that is set before you without asking questions, for the sake of conscience. 28But 18if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience; 29Now by “conscience” I do not mean your own, but the other person’s; for 19why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30If I partake with thankfulness, 20why am I slandered about that for which I 21give thanks?

31Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or 22whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God. 3223Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or 24the church of God; 33just as I also 25please everyone in all things, 26not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of the many, 27so that they may be saved.
