John
- John 18:39But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
1 Corinthians
- 1 Corinthians 8:7Howbeit 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.But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
- 1 Corinthians 11:16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
