18. Look at Yisra’ĕl after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the offerings sharers in the altar?
19. What then do I say? That an idol is of any value? Or that which is offered to idols is of any value?
20. No, but what the gentiles offer they offer to demons and not to Elohim, and I do not wish you to become sharers with demons.
21. You are not able to drink the cup of the Master and the cup of demons, you are not able to partake of the table of the Master and of the table of demons.
22. Do we provoke the Master to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23. All is permitted me, but not all do profit. All is permitted me, but not all build up.
24. Let no one seek his own, but each one that of the other.
25. You eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions because of conscience,
26. for “The earth belongs to יהוה, and all that fills it.”
27. And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you wish to go, you eat whatever is set before you, asking no question on account of the conscience.
