'Eat' in the Bible

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

But this knowledge is not shared by all. And some, by being accustomed to idols in former times, eat this food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.

Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.

For if someone weak sees you who possess knowledge dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience be "strengthened" to eat food offered to idols?

For this reason, if food causes my brother or sister to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I may not cause one of them to sin.

Who ever serves in the army at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not consume its milk?

Don't you know that those who serve in the temple eat food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar receive a part of the offerings?

So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play."

Look at the people of Israel. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?

Eat anything that is sold in the marketplace without questions of conscience,

If an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is served without asking questions of conscience.

But if someone says to you, "This is from a sacrifice," do not eat, because of the one who told you and because of conscience --

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

For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.

Do you not have houses so that you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show contempt for the church of God by shaming those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I will not praise you for this!

For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.

If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
