Bible verse
If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
1 Corinthians 10:27 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 10.
23 “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
24 No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
28 But 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—
29 the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
30 If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
