For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,


They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Ye know that, while Gentiles, ye were being carried away to the voiceless idols, as ye were led.

Has a nation changed [its] gods, which yet are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols. But LORD made the heavens.

Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

Their land is also full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made,


For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,

Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?



But be ye not designated Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Christ, and ye are all brothers. And do not designate a father of you upon the earth, for one is your Father, he in the heavens. And be ye not designated leaders, for one is your leader, the Christ.

if we are examined today about a good deed, of a feeble man, by what this man has been healed, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this, this man stands here before you healthy. This is the stone that was rejected by you who build, which became into the head of the corner. read more.
And salvation is not in any other man, for there is no other name under the heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.

Therefore about eating the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one. For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords, yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.


I know and am persuaded in Lord Jesus, that nothing is profane by itself, except to him who regards anything to be profane. To that man it is profane. For if thy brother is distressed because of food, thou no longer walk according to love. Do not destroy with thy food that man for whom Christ died. Therefore do not let your good be maligned. read more.
For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit. For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God, and approved by men. So then we should pursue the things of peace, and the things of constructiveness for each other. Do not tear down the work of God because of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is wrong to the man who eats through hindrance. It is good not to eat meats, nor to drink wine, nor in whatever thy brother stumbles against, or is caused to stumble, or becomes weak. The faith thou have, have in relation to thyself before God. Blessed is the man not condemning himself in what he allows. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not from faith, and everything that is not from faith is sin.

Now about the things sacrificed to idols. We know that all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. If any man presumes to know anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man loves God, this man is known by him. read more.

Nevertheless the knowledge is not in all men, but some, with conscience of the idol until now, eat as sacrificed to idols, and their weak conscience is defiled. But food does not present us to God, for neither if we eat are we ahead, nor if we do not eat are we behind. But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak. For if some man sees thee, who have knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols? And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died. And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will no, not eat meat into the age, so that I may not cause my brother to stumble.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say. The cup of the blessing that we bless, is it not a participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation of the body of the Christ? read more.
Because we, the many, are one bread, one body, for we are all partakers of the one bread. Look at Israel according to flesh. Those who eat the sacrifices, are they not partakers of the altar? What therefore do I say, that an idol is anything, or that a sacrifice to an idol is anything? Rather, that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become partakers of demons. Ye cannot drink the cup of Lord, and the cup of demons. Ye cannot be partakers of a table of Lord, and of a table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are permitted for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are permitted for me, but not all things are constructive. Let not one man seek that of himself, but each man that of the other. Eat everything being sold in a meat market, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it. If any of those unbelievers invites you, and ye want to go, eat everything being set before you, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience. But if any man say to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it. And I say conscience, not the one of himself, but the one of the other man. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I maligned about which I express thanks? Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God. Become ye inoffensive both to Jews and to Greeks, and to the church of God, just as I also strive to please in all things for all men, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, so that they may be saved.

But why do thou criticize thy brother? Or also why do thou disdain thy brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, I live, says Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God. So then each of us will give account about himself to God. read more.
