- 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?
|
- For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
- If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
- But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
- Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
- For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
