20 But the things the nations sacrifice, " they sacrifice to demons, and not to God." Deut. 32:17 But I do not want you to become sharers of demons;

22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? Deut. 32:21

24 Let no one seek the things of himself, but each one that of the other.
25 Eat everything being sold in a meat market, examining nothing because of conscience,

28 But if anyone tells you, This is slain in sacrifice to idols, do not eat, because of that one pointing it out, and the conscience; for "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it." Psa. 24:1

30 But if I partake by grace, why am I evil spoken of because of what I give thanks for ?
31 Then whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.
