Lamsa(i)
18 Behold Israel whose observance is after the flesh: do not those who eat the sacrifices become partakers of the altar?
19 What do I say then? that the idol is anything, or that the sacrifice to idols is anything? No.
20 But that which the pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God: and I would not have you in fellowship with devils.
21 You cannot drink the cup of our LORD, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of our LORD and of the table of devils.
22 Are we trying to provoke our LORD to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 Everything is lawful for me, but not everything is expedient: everything is lawful for me, but everything does not edify.
24 But let no man seek for himself alone, but let every man seek for his neighbor also.
25 Anything for sale in the market place, that eat without question for conscience sake:
26 For the earth is the LORDÆs and the fulness thereof.
27 If any pagan invite you, and you wish to go, whatever is set before you eat, without question for conscience sake.
28 But if any man say to you, This meat has been offered as a sacrifice, then do not eat it for the sake of him who told you and for conscience sake.
29 But the conscience of which I speak, is not yours, but the conscience of him who told you: for why is my liberty judged by another manÆs conscience?
30 For if I by grace am made worthy why should I be reproached for that for which I give thanks?
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.
