23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. |
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. |
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: |
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. |
27 If 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. |
28 But 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: |
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? |
30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? |
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. |
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: |
33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. |
