New Testament in a Year

¹⁹ What am I saying then? ^(A)That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? ²⁰ Rather, that the things which the Gentiles ^(B)sacrifice ^(C)they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. ^21 (D)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and ^(E)the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the ^(F)Lord’s table and of the table of demons. ²² Or do we ^(G)provoke the Lord to jealousy? ^(H)Are we stronger than He?

All to the Glory of God^(I)

²³ All things are lawful ^[a]for me, but not all things are ^(J)helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things ^[b]edify. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but each one ^(K)the other’s well-being.

^25 (L)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; ²⁶ for ^(M)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

²⁷ If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, ^(N)eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. ²⁸ But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it ^(O)for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; ^[c]for ^(P)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” ²⁹ “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For ^(Q)why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? ³⁰ But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food ^(R)over which I give thanks?

^31 (S)Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ^32 (T)Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, ³³ just ^(U)as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
