23 All things are not lawful for me, for all things are not expedient? all things are not lawful, for all things edify not.
24 Let no man seek therefore his own, but every man another's good.
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 fullness thereof.
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to eat; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no questions for conscience' sake.
28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience' sake; for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness 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 offense, 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 of the many, that they may be saved.
