But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, hidden, which God determined beforehand, before the times to our glory:

Therefore judge ye nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who also, will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of hearts: and then shall praise be to each from God.

And food sets us not before God: for neither, if we eat, do we abound; neither if we eat not, do we want.

And if any one of the unbelieving call you, and ye wish to go; every thing set before you, eat, interrogating nothing through consciousness.
