1 Corinthians 10:23-33 ▼

23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things build up.

24 Let no one seek his own good, but that of the other person.

25 Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake.

26 FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AS WELL AS ITS FULLNESS.

27 If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake.

28 But if anyone says to you, “This is meat consecrated to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake.

29 I do not mean your own conscience, but the other person’s. For why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?

30 If I partake with gratefulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?

31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God;

33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.
