Idolatry
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:1 | Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:2 | And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:3 | But if any man love God, the same is known of him. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:4 | As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:5 | For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:6 | But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:7 | Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. |

Exodus 20:4-6
4  2Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. |
Do not be a stumblingblock to others
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:8 | But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:9 | But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:10 | For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:11 | And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:12 | But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. |
| crossref ... | First Corinthians 8:13 | Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, let I make my brother to offend. |

Exodus 20:7-17
7 3Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.8 4Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 5Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.13 6Thou shalt not kill.14 7Thou shalt not commit adultery.15 8Thou shalt not steal.16 9Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.17 10Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.Matthew 22:35-40 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. |
