¹⁴Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we are all partake of the one bread. ¹⁸Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar? ¹⁹What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. ²¹Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. ²²Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

²³All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify. ²⁴Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor’s good. ²⁵Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake; ²⁶for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. ²⁷If one of them that believe not biddeth you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake. ²⁸But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience’ sake:
