17 For we being many are one bread, and one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18 Behold Israel after the flesh; are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God; and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 All things are not lawful for me, for all things are not expedient? all things are not lawful, for all things edify not.
24 Let no man seek therefore his own, but every man another's good.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience' sake;
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to eat; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no questions for conscience' sake.
