50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; ²And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; ³And did all eat the same spiritual meat; ⁴And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. ⁵But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. ⁷Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. ⁸Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. ⁹Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. ¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. ¹¹Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. ¹²Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. ¹³There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

¹⁴Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. ¹⁸Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? ¹⁹What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? ²⁰But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. ²¹Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lords table, and of the table of devils. ²²Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? ²³All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. ²⁴Let no man seek his own, but every man anothers wealth. ²⁵Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: ²⁶For the earth is the Lords, and the fulness thereof. ²⁷If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. ²⁸But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lords, and the fulness thereof: ²⁹Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another mans conscience? ³⁰For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? ³¹Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. ³²Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: ³³Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.(KJV)

¹⁴Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷For we being many are 1 bread, and 1 body: for we are all partakers of that 1 bread. ¹⁸Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? ¹⁹What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? ²⁰But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. ²¹Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. ²²Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? ²³All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. ²⁴Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. ²⁵Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: ²⁶For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. ²⁷If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. ²⁸But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: ²⁹Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? ³⁰For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? ³¹Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. ³²Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: ³³Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.(KJV/NC)

50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; ²and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; ³and did all eat the same spiritual food; ⁴and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ. ⁵Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. ⁷Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. ⁸Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. ⁹Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents. ¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. ¹¹Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. ¹²Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. ¹³There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. ¹⁴Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we are all partake of the one bread. ¹⁸Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar? ¹⁹What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. ²¹Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. ²²Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? ²³All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify. ²⁴Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor's good. ²⁵Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience' sake, ²⁶for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. ²⁷If one of them that believe not biddeth you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience' sake. ²⁸But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: ²⁹conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other's; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience? ³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? ³¹Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. ³²Give no occasions of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God: ³³even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.(ASV)

50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹MOREOVER, brethren, I want you to know that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; ²And all were baptized by Moses, both in the cloud and in the sea; ³And all ate the same spiritual food; ⁴And all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Christ. ⁵But with many of them God was not well pleased; for they were smitten in the wilderness.

⁶¶ But they became an example to us, so that we should not covet evil things as they did covet. ⁷Neither should we become idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to quarrel. ⁸Neither should we commit adultery, as some of them committed; for in one day twenty-three thousand of them fell dead. ⁹Neither should we tempt Christ, as some of them tempted; for they were destroyed by snakes. ¹⁰Neither should you murmur, as some of them murmured; for they were destroyed by the hand of the destroyer. ¹¹Now all of these things which happened to them are an example for us; and they are written for our admonition, for the fulfillment of the ages has come in our time. ¹²Therefore, let him who thinks he can stand, take heed so that he may not fall. ¹³No other temptation has overtaken you but that which is common to man; but God is faithful; he will not suffer you to be tempted beyond your endurance; but will make a way for you to escape your temptation, so that you may be able to bear it. ¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, keep away from idolatry.

¹⁵¶ I speak as to wise men; you are able to judge what I say. ¹⁶The cup of thanksgiving which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷For just as the loaf of bread is one, so we are all one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread. ¹⁸Behold Israel whose observance is after the flesh; do not those who eat the sacrifices become partakers of the altar? ¹⁹What do I say then? That the idol is anything, or that the sacrifice to idols is anything? No. ²⁰But what the pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God; and I would not have you in fellowship with devils. ²¹You cannot drink the cup of our Lord and the cup of devils; you cannot be partakers of the table of our Lord and of the table of devils. ²²Are we trying to provoke our Lord to anger? Are we stronger than he?

²³¶ Everything is lawful for me, but not everything is expedient; everything is lawful for me, but everything does not edify. ²⁴But let no man seek for himself alone, but let every man seek for his neighbor also. ²⁵Anything for sale in the market place you can eat without question for conscience sake; ²⁶For the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof. ²⁷If any pagan man should invite you, and you wish to go, whatever is set before you eat without question for conscience sake. ²⁸But if any man say to you, This meat has been offered as a sacrifice, then do not eat it for the sake of him who told you and for conscience sake. ²⁹But the conscience of which I speak is not yours, but the conscience of him who told you; for why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? ³⁰For if I by grace am made worthy, why should I be reproached for that for which I give thanks? ³¹Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³²Give no offence, neither to the Jews nor to the Arameans nor to the church of God; ³³Just as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved. (LAM)

50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹I want you to know, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, ²and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, ³and all ate the same supernatural food ⁴and all drank the same supernatural drink. For they drank from the supernatural Rock which followed them, and the Rock was Christ. ⁵Nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁶Now these things are warnings for us, not to desire evil as they did. ⁷Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance." ⁸We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. ⁹We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents; ¹⁰nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. ¹¹Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come. ¹²Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. ¹³No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, shun the worship of idols. ¹⁵I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? ¹⁷Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. ¹⁸Consider the people of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? ¹⁹What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. ²¹You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. ²²Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

²³"All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up. ²⁴Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. ²⁵Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. ²⁶For "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." ²⁷If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. ²⁸(But if some one says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then out of consideration for the man who informed you, and for conscience' sake-- ²⁹I mean his conscience, not yours--do not eat it.) For why should my liberty be determined by another man's scruples? ³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks? ³¹So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³²Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, ³³just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.(RSV)

50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. ²They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. ³They all ate the same spiritual food ⁴and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. ⁵Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.

⁶Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. ⁷Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry." ⁸We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did -- and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. ⁹We should not test the Lord, as some of them did -- and were killed by snakes. ¹⁰And do not grumble, as some of them did -- and were killed by the destroying angel.

¹¹These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. ¹²So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! ¹³No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

¹⁴Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. ¹⁶Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? ¹⁷Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.

¹⁸Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? ¹⁹Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. ²¹You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. ²²Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

²³"Everything is permissible" -- but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible" -- but not everything is constructive. ²⁴Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

²⁵Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, ²⁶for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

²⁷If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. ²⁸But if anyone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience' sake -- ²⁹the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience? ³⁰If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?

³¹So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. ³²Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God -- ³³even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.(NIV)

50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; ²and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; ³and all ate the same spiritual food; ⁴and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. ⁵However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. ⁷Neither be_P idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, 'The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.' ⁸Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell. ⁹Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents. ¹⁰Neither grumble_P , as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer. ¹¹Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. ¹²Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall.

¹³No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you_P are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you_P may be able to endure it. ¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak as to wise men. Judge_P what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷Because we, who are many, are one bread, one body; for we all partake of the one bread. ¹⁸Consider Israel after the flesh. Don't those who eat the sacrifices have communion with the altar?

¹⁹What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you_P would have communion with demons. ²¹You_P can't both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You_P can't both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. ²²Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? ²³'All things are lawful for me,' but not all things are profitable. 'All things are lawful for me,' but not all things build up. ²⁴Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor's good. ²⁵Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience, ²⁶for 'the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness.' ²⁷But if one of those who don't believe invites you to a meal, and you_P are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience. ²⁸But if anyone says to you, 'This was offered to idols,' don't eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.

50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; ²and were all immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; ³and all ate the same spiritual food; ⁴and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Messiah. ⁵However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. ⁷Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, 'The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.' ⁸Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell. ⁹Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents. ¹⁰Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer. ¹¹Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. ¹²Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall.

¹³No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. ¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a sharing of the blood of Messiah? The bread which we break, isn't it a sharing of the body of Messiah? ¹⁷Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread. ¹⁸Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don't those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

¹⁹What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you would have fellowship with demons. ²¹You can't both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can't both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. ²²Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? ²³'All things are lawful for me,' but not all things are profitable. 'All things are lawful for me,' but not all things build up. ²⁴Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor's good. ²⁵Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience, ²⁶for 'the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness.' ²⁷But if one of those who don't believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience. ²⁸But if anyone says to you, 'This was offered to idols,' don't eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For 'the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.' ²⁹Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's conscience.

50 First Corinthians 10:1-33 ¹MOREOVER, brothers, I want you to know that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; ²And all were baptized by Moses, both in the cloud and in the sea; ³And all ate the same spiritual food; ⁴And all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Messiah. ⁵But with many of them God was not well pleased; for they were struck in the wilderness.

⁶But they became an example to us, so that we should not covet evil things as they coveted. ⁷Neither should we become idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to quarrel. ⁸Neither should we commit adultery, as some of them committed; for in 1 day 23,000 of them fell dead. ⁹Neither should we tempt Messiah, as some of them tempted; for they were destroyed by snakes. ¹⁰Neither should you murmur, as some of them murmured; for they were destroyed by the hand of the destroyer. ¹¹Now all of these things which happened to them are an example for us; and they are written for our admonition, for the fulfillment of the ages has come in our time. ¹²Therefore, let him who thinks he can stand, be careful so that he may not fall. ¹³No other temptation has overtaken you but that which is common to man; but God is faithful; he will not permit you to be tempted beyond your endurance; but will make a way for you to escape your temptation, so that you may be able to bear it. ¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, keep away from idolatry.

¹⁵I speak to you as wise men; you are able to judge what I say. ¹⁶The cup of thanksgiving which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Messiah? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Messiah? ¹⁷For just as the loaf of bread is one, so we are all one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread. ¹⁸Look at Israel whose observance is after the flesh; do not those who eat the sacrifices become partakers of the altar? ¹⁹What do I say then? That the idol is anything, or that the sacrifice to idols is anything? No. ²⁰But what the pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God; and I would not have you in fellowship with devils. ²¹You cannot drink the cup of our Lord and the cup of devils; you cannot be partakers of the table of our Lord and of the table of devils. ²²Are we trying to provoke our Lord to anger? Are we stronger than he?

²³Everything is lawful for me, but not everything is expedient; everything is lawful for me, but everything does not edify. ²⁴But let no man seek for himself alone, but let every man also seek for his neighbor. ²⁵Anything for sale in the market place you can eat without question for conscience sake; ²⁶For the earth is the Lord's and its fullness. ²⁷If any pagan man should invite you, and you wish to go, whatever is set before you eat without question for conscience sake. ²⁸But if any man say to you, This meat has been offered as a sacrifice, then do not eat it for the sake of him who told you and for conscience sake. ²⁹But the conscience of which I speak is not yours, but the conscience of him who told you; for why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? ³⁰For if I by grace am made worthy, why should I be disgraced for that for which I give thanks? ³¹Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³²Give no offence, neither to the Jews nor to the Arameans nor to the church of God; ³³Just as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.
