ACV(i)
18 Look at Israel according to flesh. Those who eat the sacrifices, are they not partakers of the altar?
19 What therefore do I say, that an idol is anything, or that a sacrifice to an idol is anything?
20 Rather, that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become partakers of demons.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. Ye cannot be partakers of a table of the Lord, and of a table of demons.
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23 All things are permitted for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are permitted for me, but not all things are constructive.
24 Let not one man seek that of himself, but each man that of the other.
25 Eat everything being sold in a meat market, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience,
26 for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.
27 If any of those unbelievers invites you, and ye want to go, eat everything being set before you, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience.
28 But if any man says to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.
29 And I say conscience, not the one of himself, but the one of the other man. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I maligned about which I express thanks?
31 Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God.
