1 Corinthians 10:14-28

14 Therefore, my ^abeloved, flee from ^bidolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. 16 Is not the ^ccup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the ^{▼▼ Lit loaf

We are not ^qstronger than He, are we?

All things are lawful, but not all things ^sedify. 24 Let no one ^tseek his own good, but that of his ^{▼▼ Lit the other}neighbor. 25 ^vEat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake; 26 ^w for the earth is the Lord’s, and ^{▼▼ Lit its fullness} all it contains. 27 If ^yone of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, ^zeat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake. 28 But ^aaif 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;
