1 Corinthians 10 18-1 Corinthians 10 31
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.”Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 6 13-1 Corinthians 6 18
“ Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For,“ The two”, he says,“ will become one flesh.”But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.Flee sexual immorality!“ Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

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.
