1 Corinthians 10:29 Context
27If any of them that beleeue not, bid you to a feast, and yee be disposed to goe, whatsoeuer is set before you, eate, asking no question for conscience sake. 28But if any man say vnto you, This is offered in sacrifice vnto idoles, eate not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. The earth is the Lords, and the fulnesse thereof. 29Conscience I say, not thine owne, but of the others: for why is my libertie iudged of another mans conscience? 30For, if I by grace be a partaker, why am I euill spoken of, for that for which I giue thankes? 31Whether therfore ye eat or drinke, or whatsoeuer ye doe, doe all to the glory of God.
