Lecture 6 — Question of conscience

Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

For “the earth is the Lords, and everything in it.”

If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

(But if some one says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then out of consideration for the man who informed you, and for conscience’ sake--

I mean his conscience, not yours--do not eat it.) For why should my liberty be determined by another man’s scruples?

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
