Etheridge(i)
18 Consider Israel who are in the flesh: are not they who eat of the sacrifices participators of the altar?
19 What then do I say? that an idol is any thing, or (that) the sacrifice of an idol is any thing?
20 No: but that which the Heathens sacrifice, unto demons they sacrifice, and not unto Aloha. But I would not that you be participators with demons!
21 You cannot drink the cup of our Lord, and the cup of demons; and you cannot participate in the table of our Lord, and in the table of demons.
22 Or, do we provoke the Lord? are we stronger than he?
23 Every thing is lawful for me, but every thing is not expedient; every thing is lawful, but every thing doth not edify.
24 Let no man seek his own (only), but every man also (the profit) of his neighbour.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles eat, without inquiry on account of conscience:
26 for the earth is the Lord's, and its fulness.
27 But if a man of the Heathens invite you, and you be willing to go, whatever is set before you eat, without inquiry on account of conscience.
28 But, if one tell you, This is of a sacrifice, eat not, for his sake who hath told you, and on account of conscience;
29 but I say, the conscience, not yours, but his who told you. But why is my liberty to be ruled by the conscience of others?
30 But if I use (these things) by grace, why am I calumniated concerning that for which I give thanks?
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of Aloha.
