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.
