- 1 Cor 8:4-9 : 4 As concerning the eating of those thinges that are offered vnto idols, we are sure that an idoll is nothing in the worlde, and that there is none other God but one. 5 And though there be that are called gods, whether in heauen or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lordes many:) 6 Yet vnto vs is there but one God, which is the father, of whom are all thinges, and we in him, and one Lorde Iesus Christe, by whom are al thinges, and we by him. 7 But euery man hath not knowledge: For some hauing conscience of the idol vntill this houre, eate as a thing offred vnto idols, and so their conscience being weake, is defiled. 8 But meate maketh vs not acceptable to God: For neither if we eate, haue we the more, neither if we eate not, haue we the lesse. 9 But take heede lest by any meanes this libertie of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at meate in the idols temple: shal not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those thinges which are offred to idols, 11 And through thy knowledge shal the weake brother perishe, for whom Christe dyed? 12 When ye sinne so against the brethren, and wounde their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christe. 13 Wherefore, if meate offend my brother, I wyll eate no fleshe whyle the worlde standeth, lest I shoulde offende my brother.

The bread which we breake, is it not the partakyng of the body of Christe? 17 For we that are many, are one bread and one body, in as much as we all are partakers of one bread. 18 Beholde Israel after the fleshe. Are not they which eate of the sacrifices, partakers of the aulter? 19 What say I then? that the idol is any thyng? Or that it which is offered to idols is any thyng? 20 Nay but this I saye that the thinges which the gentiles offer, they offer to deuyls, & not to God. And I woulde not that ye shoulde haue felowshippe with the deuils. 21 Ye can not drynke ye cup of the Lorde, and the cup of deuils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lordes table, and of the table of deuyls. 22 Either do we prouoke the Lorde to anger? Are we stronger then he? 23 All thynges are lawfull for me, but all thynges are not expedient: All thynges are lawfull for me, but all thynges edifie not. 24 Let no man seeke his owne: but euery man anothers wealth. 25 Whatsoeuer is solde in the market, that eate, and aske no question for conscience sake. 26 For the earth is the Lordes, and all that therin is. 27 If any of them which beleue not, byd you to a feast and ye be disposed to go, whatsoeuer is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. 28 But yf any man say vnto you, this is offred vnto idols, eate not of it for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. The earth is the Lordes and all that therin is.
