1 Corinthians 8 4-1 Corinthians 8 13
Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.For though there are things that are called“ gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many“ gods” and many“ lords”;yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.

“‘ Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.For the life of the flesh is in the blood. I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.Therefore I have said to the children of Israel,“ No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”“‘ Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel,“ You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”

1 Corinthians 10 14-1 Corinthians 10 28
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?“ All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable.“ All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,for“ the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.But if anyone says to you,“ This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For“ the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
