1 Corinthians 10:23-33 - Freedom In Christ
23 'All things are lawful'? Yes, but not all are good for us. 'All things are lawful'? Yes, but not all are edifying. 24 Each of us must consult his neighbour's interests, not his own.
25 Eat any food that has been sold in the market, instead of letting scruples of conscience oblige you to ask any questions about it; 26 the earth and all its contents belong to the Lord. 27 When an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you agree to go, eat whatever is put before you, instead of letting scruples of conscience induce you to ask any questions about it. 28 But if someone tells you, 'This was sacrificial meat,' then do not eat it; you must consider the man who told you, and also take conscience into account ??29 his conscience, I mean, not your own; for why should one's own freedom be called in question by someone else's conscience? 30 If one partakes of food after saying a blessing over it, why should one be denounced for eating what one has given thanks to God for?
31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, let it be all done for the glory of God. 32 Put no stumbling-block in the way of Jews or Greeks or the church of God. 33 Such is my own rule, to satisfy all men in all points, aiming not at my own advantage but at the advantage of the greater number ??at their salvation.
