1 Corinthians 10:23–33

Do All to the Glory of God

^23m“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. ²⁴ⁿLet no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. ^25oEat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. ²⁶For ^p“the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.” ²⁷If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, ^qeat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. ²⁸But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— ²⁹I do not mean ^ryour conscience, but his. For ^swhy should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience? ³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that ^tfor which I give thanks?

³¹So, whether you eat or drink, or ^uwhatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ^32vGive no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to ^wthe church of God, ³³just as ^xI try to please everyone in everything I do, ^ynot seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
