And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God save one.

But knowledge is not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?

What then do I say? that what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat of idol sacrifices and commit fornication.

But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.
