Meat » Sacrificed
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: except to him who considers it unclean, to him it is unclean. But if your brother is grieved on account of your meat, you are no longer walking in divine love. Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died. Let not your good be blasphemed. read more.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. For in this the one serving Christ is acceptable to God, and approved unto men. Then therefore we pursue the things belonging to peace, and edification towards one another. Do not destroy the work of God on account of meat. All things are pure; but it is evil to the man who eats with offence: it is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles. The faith which you have, have it with yourself before God. Happy is the one not judging himself in that which he approves: but if he may eat doubting, he has been condemned, because it is not of faith; but every thing which is not of faith is sin.

But concerning things offered to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but divine love builds up. If any one seems to know anything, yet he knows not as it behooves him to know; but if any one loves God he is known of him. read more.
Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God except one. For if indeed there are those who are called gods, whether in heaven or upon the earth; as there are gods many, and lords many; but there is to us one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we in him. But there is not knowledge in all people: but some, with the conscience of the idol even until now, eat as if it was sacrificed to the idol; and their conscience being weak is polluted. But meat will not commend us to God; neither if we eat are we the better; nor if we eat not are we the worse. See lest this liberty of yours may become a stumblingblock to the weak. For if any one may see you having knowledge sitting at the table in the idol temple, will not the conscience of him, being weak, be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to the idols? For the weak one is destroyed by your knowledge, the brother for whom Christ died. And you, sinning so against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, are sinning against Christ. If indeed meat causes my brother to stumble, I never eat any more meat, in order that I may not lay a stumblingblock in the way of my brother.

Therefore, my beloved, fly from idolatry. As I speak to the wise; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? read more.
Because we, being many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of one bread. See Israel after the flesh: are not all eating the sacrifices communicants of the altar? Then what do I say? that idolatry is anything? or that an idol is anything? But those things which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. But I do not wish you to be the communicants of demons. You are not able to drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you are not able to partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? whether are we stronger than he? All things are lawful; but all things are not profitable. All things are lawful; but all things do not edify. Let no one seek his own, but that of another. Eat everything which is sold in market, asking no questions on account of conscience; for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness of the same. If any one of the unbelievers invite you, and you wish to go; eat everything which is placed before you, asking no questions on account of conscience. But if any one may say to you; This is offered to an idol, eat not, on account of him who gave the information, and his conscience. But I say the conscience not of himself, but of the other one. For why is my liberty judged by the conscience of another? If I partake with grace, why am I traduced for that over which I give thanks? Then whether you eat, or whether you drink, or what you do, do all things to the glory of God. Be ye without offence, both to Jews, and to Greeks, and to the church of God: as I also please all in all things, seeking not my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
