| 16Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ?

| 27If an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is served without asking questions of conscience. | 27If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. |
| 28But if someone says to you, "This is from a sacrifice," do not eat, because of the one who told you and because of conscience-- | 28But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: |
