1 Corinthians 10:28. But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that shewed it for your informant's sake.

and for conscience sake: conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other's the conscience of some weak brother who might be present. [1]

[1] The words following in the received text “for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof” are an unauthorised and meaningless repetition of the statement in 1 Corinthians 10:26.

for why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? ‘When I eat what he knows to have been sacrificed to an idol, his conscience is hurt, but mine is not, provided I buy and eat it simply as wholesome food; for my liberty is not to fee judged by his want of light on this subject.'
