Text -- 1 Corinthians 10:18-33 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
10:18 Look at the people of Israel . Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar ?
10:19 Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything ?
10:20 No , I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God . I do not want you to be partners with demons .
10:21 You cannot cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons . You cannot cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons .
10:22 Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is ?
Live to Glorify God
10:23 “Everything is lawful ,” but not everything is beneficial . “Everything is lawful ,” but not everything builds others up.
10:24 Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person .
10:25 Eat anything that is sold in the marketplace without questions of conscience ,
10:26 for the earth and its abundance are the Lord’s .
10:27 If an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you want to go , eat whatever is served without asking questions of conscience .
10:28 But if someone says to you , “This is from a sacrifice ,” do not eat , because of the one who told you and because of conscience –
10:29 I do not mean mean yours but the other person’s . For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience ?
10:30 If I partake with thankfulness , why am I blamed for the food that I give thanks for ?
10:31 So whether you eat or drink , or whatever you do , do everything for the glory of God .
10:32 Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God ,
10:33 just as I also try to please everyone in all things . I do not seek my own benefit , but the benefit of many , so that they may be saved .
