'Eat' in the Bible

But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

Do we not have a right to eat and drink?

Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?

Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?

Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.”

Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?

Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake;

If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake.

But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake;

Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper,

What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
