1 Corinthians 10

18 Ref See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?

19 Ref Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?

20 Ref What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

21 Ref It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

22 Ref Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

23 Ref We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.

24 Ref Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.

25 Ref Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

26 Ref For the earth is the Lord's and all things in it.

27 Ref If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

28 Ref But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

29 Ref Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.

30 Ref But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

31 Ref So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Ref Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.

33 Ref Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.
