14 So then, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15 I am speaking to thoughtful people. Consider what I say. 16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread. 18 Look at the people of Israel. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 (NET Bible)
19 Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything? 20 No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22 Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 (NET Bible)
“Here Paul appears to have sharpened the restriction. Even if there were no scandalized believer to witness one’s participation, a Christian should not join in the cult festivities.”

“Participation in the Lord’s Supper signifies that the believer is in a sharing relationship with the Savior. So participation in idol feasts in pagan temples means sharing in the pagan worship, and such participation is forbidden.”

23 “Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,” but not everything builds others up. 24 Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person. 25 Eat anything that is sold in the marketplace without questions of conscience, 26 for the earth and its abundance are the Lord’s.
1 Corinthians 10:23-26 (NET Bible)
“We must avoid all boorish manners and excess, and touch what is set before us politely, keeping the hand, the dining couch, and the chin free of stains, preserving a dignified face that is undisturbed, and make no loud noises when swallowing.”
–Clement of Alexandria

27 If an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is served without asking questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This is from a sacrifice,” do not eat, because of the one who told you and because of conscience – 29 I do not mean yours but the other person’s. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the food that I give thanks for?
1 Corinthians 10:27 – 11:1 (NET Bible)
31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. 32 Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved. 11:1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:27 – 11:1 (NET Bible)
“What the knowledgeable Christian could enjoy privately with thankfulness became in the presence of the weaker brother a contemptible act eliciting condemnation.”
