Christian Liberty and Edification

23

All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;

24

let no one seek his own--but each another's.

25

Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,

26

for the Lord's is the earth, and its fulness;

27

and 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;

28

and 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:

29

and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?

30

and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?

31

Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

32

become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;

33

as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many--that they may be saved.
