1 Corinthians 10:20-30

20No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

22Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?

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

24Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person.

25Eat anything that is sold in the marketplace without questions of conscience,

26for the earth and its abundance are the Lord’s.

27If an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is served without asking questions of conscience.

28But if someone says to you, “This is from a sacrifice,” do not eat, because of the one who told you and because of conscience –

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

30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the food that I give thanks for?
