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

⁷ Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

¹⁵ And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

⁵ So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.

¹⁴ I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

²⁷ 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 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 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.

⁴ Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:

¹⁵ To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought.
