1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 10:27–29

²⁷If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience. ²⁸But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience —^f ²⁹the other one’s conscience , I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
