1 Corinthians 10:20-30

20No, but I say that things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they 1sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with 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 permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things 78build people up. 24No one is to 9seek his own advantage, but rather that of his 10neighbor. 2511Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions, for the sake of conscience; 2612for the earth is the Lord’s, and 13all it contains. 27If 14one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, 15eat anything that is set before you without asking questions, for the sake of conscience. 28But 16if 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 17why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30If I partake with thankfulness, 18why am I slandered about that for which I 19give thanks?
