010:012 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall. 010:013 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 010:014 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 010:015 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say. 010:016 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a communion of the body of Christ? 010:017 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread. 010:018 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don't those who eat the sacrifices have communion with the altar? 010:019 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 010:020 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you would have communion with demons. 010:021 You can't both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can't both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. 010:022 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? 010:023 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things build up. 010:024 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor's good. 010:025 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience, 010:026 for "the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness."{Psalm 24:1} 010:027 But if one of those who don't believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience. 010:028 But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," don't eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness." 010:029 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience? 010:030 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks? 010:031 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 010:032 Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God; 010:033 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved. 011:001 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ. 011:002 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
