25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
26for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” Psalm 24:1
27If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.
28But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.
29I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience?
30If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?
