Meat » Sacrificed
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing common by itself; except to any one reckoning to be common, to that one it is common. And if by food thy brother is grieved, thou no more walkest by love. Not by thy food destroy him, for whom Christ died. Therefore let not your good be defamed. read more.
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he in these serving Christ, pleasing to God, and acceptable to men. So therefore, let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for the building up for one another. Not for sake of food destroy thou the work of God. Truly all things clean; but evil to the man eating by offence. Good not to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor in what thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak. Thou has faith; have to thyself before God. Happy he judging not himself in what he proves. And he being judged if he eat, has been condemned for not of faith; and everything not of faith is sin.
And concerning sacrifice to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, and love builds the house. And if any one thinks to know anything, as yet he has known nothing as he ought to know. And if any one love God, the same is known of him.) read more.
Concerning food therefore of sacrifices to idols, we know that an idol nothing in the world, and that none other God but one. For also though they are called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon the earth, (for there are many gods, and many lords,) But to us one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom all things, and we by him. But not in all, knowledge: and some with consciousness of the idol even till now eat as a sacrifice to idols: and their consciousness being weak is contaminated. And food sets us not before God: for neither, if we eat, do we abound; neither if we eat not, do we want. And see ye lest this your power be a stumble to the weak. For if any one see thee having knowledge reclining in the idol's temple, shall not his consciousness, being weak, be built up to eat the sacrifices to idols; And shall the weak brother be destroyed upon thy knowledge, for whom Christ died? And so sinning against the brethren, and striking their weak consciousness, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if food offend my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, lest I shall offend my brother.
Wherefore, my beloved, do ye flee from idolatry. As to the wise speak I; judge ye what I say. The cup of praise which we praise, is it not the mutual participation of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the mutual participation of the body of Christ? read more.
That, one bread, one body, we are many: for we all partake of one bread. See ye Israel according to the flesh: are not they eating the sacrifices mutual participators of the altar? What do I say therefore? that an idol is any thing? or that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing? But, that what things they sacrifice the nations sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I will not ye be partakers of demons. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons. Do we emulate the Lord? are we stronger than he? All things are lawful to me, but all are not profitable: all things are lawful to me, but all build not the house. Let none seek his own, but each another's. Every thing being sold in the market, eat, ye, interrogating nothing through consciousness: For of the Lord the earth, and its fulness. And if any one of the unbelieving call you, and ye wish to go; every thing set before you, eat, interrogating nothing through consciousness. And if any one say to you, This is sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for him making it known, and consciousness: for of the Lord the earth, and its fulness: And consciousness, I say, not thine, but another's: for that why is my freedom judged by another's consciousness And if I partake by grace, why am I defamed for what I give thanks? Whether therefore ye eat, whether ye drink, or what ye do, do ye all things to the glory of God. And be ye not molesters to the Jews, and the Greeks, and to the church of God: As I also please in all things to all, not seeking my advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

Whence to me flesh to give to all this people? for they weep upon me, saying, Thou shalt give to us flesh and we shall eat read more.
I shall not be able to lift up alone all this people, for it is heavy for me. And if so thou doest to me, killing, kill me now, if I found grace in thine eyes; and I shall not look upon my evil And Jehovah will say to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the old men of Israel, whom thou knewest that they were old men of the people, and their scribes; and take them to the tent of appointment, and they shall stand there with thee. And I came down and I spake with thee there; and I took from the spirit which is upon thee, and I put upon them, and they lifted up with thee in the debt of the people, and thou shalt not lift it up thyself alone. And thou shalt say to the people, Be ye consecrated for the morrow, and ye ate flesh: for ye wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall feed us with flesh? for it was good to us in Egypt; and Jehovah gave to you flesh, and ye ate. Not one day shall ye eat, and not two days, and not five days, and not ten days, and not twenty days; Even to a month of days, till when it shall come out from your nostrils, and it shall be to you for loathsomeness, because that ye rejected Jehovah who is in the midst of you, and ye shall weep before him, saying, Wherefore came we out of Egypt? And Moses will say, Six hundred thousand of foot the people which I am in the midst of them: and thou saidst, I will give flesh to them, and they shall eat a month of days. Shall the sheep and the oxen be slaughtered for them and suffice for them? and if he shall gather all the fish of the sea to them, and it suffice for them? And Jehovah will say to Moses, Shall the hand of Jehovah be cut off? Now shalt thou see my word shall be precious to thee or not And Moses will go forth, and will speak to the people the words of Jehovah; and he will gather the seventy men, of the old men of the people, and he will cause them to stand round about the tent And Jehovah will come down in the cloud, and will speak to him, and he will take from the spirit which is upon him, and will give upon the seventy men, the old men: and it shall be in the resting of the spirit upon them, and they shall prophesy, and they shall not cease. And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one Eldad, and the name of the second, Medad: and the spirit will encamp upon them; and they among those being written, and they will not go forth to the tent, and they will prophesy in the camp. And a young man will run and announce to Moses, and he will say, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp. And Joshua, son of Nun, serving Moses from his chosen, will answer and say, My lord Moses, restrain them. And Moses will say to him, Thou envying for me; and who will give all the people of Jehovah prophets? when Jehovah will give his spirit upon them. And Moses will take himself into the camp, he and the old men of Israel. And a spirit removed from Jehovah and it will divide out the quails from the sea, and will cast upon the camp, as the way of a day hither, and the way of a day thither, round about the camp, and as two cubits upon the face of the earth. And the people will rise up all that day and all the night, and all the day of the morrow, and will gather the quails: the few gathered ten homers; and they will spread for themselves a spreading round about the camp. And the flesh yet between their teeth, before it shall be withdrawn and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah will smite upon them an exceeding great blow. And he will call the name of that place, The Graves of Longings, for there they buried the people longing. From the Graves of Longings the people removed to the enclosures, and they shall be in the enclosures.
Sacrifice » Meat » Idols
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing common by itself; except to any one reckoning to be common, to that one it is common. And if by food thy brother is grieved, thou no more walkest by love. Not by thy food destroy him, for whom Christ died. Therefore let not your good be defamed. read more.
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he in these serving Christ, pleasing to God, and acceptable to men. So therefore, let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for the building up for one another. Not for sake of food destroy thou the work of God. Truly all things clean; but evil to the man eating by offence. Good not to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor in what thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak. Thou has faith; have to thyself before God. Happy he judging not himself in what he proves. And he being judged if he eat, has been condemned for not of faith; and everything not of faith is sin.
And concerning sacrifice to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, and love builds the house. And if any one thinks to know anything, as yet he has known nothing as he ought to know. And if any one love God, the same is known of him.) read more.
Concerning food therefore of sacrifices to idols, we know that an idol nothing in the world, and that none other God but one. For also though they are called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon the earth, (for there are many gods, and many lords,) But to us one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom all things, and we by him. But not in all, knowledge: and some with consciousness of the idol even till now eat as a sacrifice to idols: and their consciousness being weak is contaminated. And food sets us not before God: for neither, if we eat, do we abound; neither if we eat not, do we want. And see ye lest this your power be a stumble to the weak. For if any one see thee having knowledge reclining in the idol's temple, shall not his consciousness, being weak, be built up to eat the sacrifices to idols; And shall the weak brother be destroyed upon thy knowledge, for whom Christ died? And so sinning against the brethren, and striking their weak consciousness, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if food offend my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, lest I shall offend my brother.
Wherefore, my beloved, do ye flee from idolatry. As to the wise speak I; judge ye what I say. The cup of praise which we praise, is it not the mutual participation of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the mutual participation of the body of Christ? read more.
That, one bread, one body, we are many: for we all partake of one bread. See ye Israel according to the flesh: are not they eating the sacrifices mutual participators of the altar? What do I say therefore? that an idol is any thing? or that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing? But, that what things they sacrifice the nations sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I will not ye be partakers of demons. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons. Do we emulate the Lord? are we stronger than he? All things are lawful to me, but all are not profitable: all things are lawful to me, but all build not the house. Let none seek his own, but each another's. Every thing being sold in the market, eat, ye, interrogating nothing through consciousness: For of the Lord the earth, and its fulness. And if any one of the unbelieving call you, and ye wish to go; every thing set before you, eat, interrogating nothing through consciousness. And if any one say to you, This is sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for him making it known, and consciousness: for of the Lord the earth, and its fulness: And consciousness, I say, not thine, but another's: for that why is my freedom judged by another's consciousness And if I partake by grace, why am I defamed for what I give thanks? Whether therefore ye eat, whether ye drink, or what ye do, do ye all things to the glory of God. And be ye not molesters to the Jews, and the Greeks, and to the church of God: As I also please in all things to all, not seeking my advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

Ye shall not eat any carcass: to the stranger that is in thy gates ye shall give it, and he shall eat it; or sell it to a foreigner: for thou a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother's milk.
