²⁵ Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

⁷ 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.

¹⁵ A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean."

⁵ Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

²⁷ 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.

²⁸ 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, and all its fullness."

²⁹ Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.

¹⁵ To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
