1 Corinthians 10:23–33

All to the Glory of God

²³All things are lawful ⁷for me, but not all things are ^lhelpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things ⁸edify. ²⁴Let no one seek his own, but each one ^mthe other’s well-being.

²⁵ⁿEat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; ²⁶for ^o“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

²⁷If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, ^peat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. ²⁸But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it ^qfor the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; ⁹for ^r“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” ²⁹“Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For ^swhy is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? ³⁰But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food ^tover which I give thanks?

^31uTherefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ^32vGive no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, ³³just ^was I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
