4So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,
6There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.
7Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.
8But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.
9But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.
10For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?
