'Eat' in the Bible

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idolatry that when they eat food that has been offered to an idol, their conscience becomes contaminated because it is weak.

However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat food that has been offered to an idol, and no better off if we do.

For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you, who know better, eating in an idol's temple, he will be encouraged to eat what has been offered to idols, won't he?

However, if someone says to you, "This was offered as a sacrifice," don't eat it, both out of consideration for the one who told you and also for the sake of conscience.

If I eat with thankfulness, why should I be denounced because of what I am thankful for?

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.

When you gather in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

For as you eat, each of you rushes to eat his own supper, and one person goes hungry while another gets drunk.

You have homes in which to eat and drink, don't you? Or do you despise God's church and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I will not praise you for this!

For as often as you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

A person must examine himself and then eat the bread and drink from the cup,

Therefore, my brothers, when you gather to eat, wait for each other.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather it may not bring judgment on you. And when I come I will give instructions concerning the other matters.

If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus from merely human motives, what do I get out of it? If the dead are not raised, "Let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
