²⁵You are free to eat anything sold in the meat market, without asking any questions because of your conscience. ²⁶^*For, as the scripture says, “The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord.”

²⁷If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you decide to go, eat what is set before you, without asking any questions because of your conscience. ²⁸But if someone says to you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat that food, for the sake of the one who told you and for conscience’ sake- ²⁹that is, not your own conscience, but the other person’s conscience.

“Well, then,” someone asks, “why should my freedom to act be limited by another person’s conscience? ³⁰If I thank God for my food, why should anyone criticize me about food for which I give thanks?”

³¹Well, whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do it all for God’s glory. ³²Live in such a way as to cause no trouble either to Jews or Gentiles or to the church of God. ³³Just do as I do; I try to please everyone in all that I do, not thinking of my own good, but of the good of all, so that they might be saved.

Read in Logos
