For if anyone sees you who have knowledge sit at dinner in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be encouraged to eat those things which are offered to idols;
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
However there is not in everyone that knowledge: for some with scruples concerning the idol to this hour eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
