- FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS.
- 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;
- I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?
- If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?

- for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."
- If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.
- But if anyone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience' sake--
- the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?
- If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?
