1 Corinthians 10:23–33

²³All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up; ²⁴let no one seek his own—but each another’s. ²⁵Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience, ²⁶for the Lord’s is the earth, and its fulness; ²⁷and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience; ²⁸and if any one may say to you, ‘This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,’—do not eat, because of that one who shewed it, and of the conscience, for the Lord’s is the earth and its fulness: ²⁹and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another’s conscience? ³⁰and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks? ³¹Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God; ³²become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God; ³³as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they may be saved.
