And he said to them, You know how unlawful it is for a man, a Jew, to unite with or to come near to one of another nation. Yet God showed to me not to call a man, not one, common or unclean.
For if anyone sees you, the one having knowledge, reclining in an idol’s temple, will not the weak one’s conscience be built up so as to eat the idolatrous offering?
But the knowledge is not in all; but some being aware of the idol eat as an idolatrous offering until now; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Truly, all things are pure to the pure, but to the ones being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled.
