1 Corinthians 10:23-33 - Freedom In Christ

23 All [things] are permitted, but not all [things] are profitable. All [things] are permitted, but not all [things] build up. 24 Let no one seek {his own good} but the [good] of the other.

25 Eat everything that is sold in the meat market, {asking no questions} for the sake of the conscience, 26 for "the earth [is] the Lord's, and its fullness." 27 If any of the unbelievers invites you, and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, {asking no questions} for the sake of the conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, "This is offered to idols," do not eat [it], for the sake of that one who informed [you] and the conscience. 29 Now I am not speaking about your own conscience, but the [conscience] of the other [person]. For why [is] my freedom judged by another's conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?

31 Therefore, whether you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all [things] for the glory of God. 32 {Give no offense} both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God, 33 just as I also please all [people] in all [things], not seeking my own benefit, but the [benefit] of the many, in order that they may be saved.
