New International Version
1 Corinthians 10:18-31
New International Version
18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices(A) participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?(B) 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons,(C) not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.(D) 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?(E) Are we stronger than he?(F)
The Believer’s Freedom
23 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.(G) “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. 24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.(H)
25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,(I) 26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[a](J)
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you(K) without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.(L) 29 I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom(M) being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?(N)
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.(O)

13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.”(A) The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord,(B) and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead,(C) and he will raise us also.(D) 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?(E) Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[a](F) 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.[b](G)
18 Flee from sexual immorality.(H) All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.(I)

4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols:(A) We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world”(B) and that “There is no God but one.”(C) 5 For even if there are so-called gods,(D) whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God,(E) the Father,(F) from whom all things came(G) and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord,(H) Jesus Christ, through whom all things came(I) and through whom we live.
7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge.(J) Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak,(K) it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God;(L) we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(M) to the weak.(N) 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?(O) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(P) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(Q) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(R) 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.(S)

Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The righteous things that person did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.(C)
