1 Corinthians 10:25-11:1

English Standard Version

²⁵^(A)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. ²⁶For ^(B)“the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.” ²⁷If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, ^(C)eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. ²⁸But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— ²⁹I do not mean ^(D)your conscience, but his. For ^(E)why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience? ³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that ^(F)for which I give thanks?

³¹So, whether you eat or drink, or ^(G)whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³²^(H)Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to ^(I)the church of God, ³³just as ^(J)I try to please everyone in everything I do, ^(K)not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

11 ^(L)Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

New International Version

²⁵Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,^(A) ²⁶for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”^[a]^(B)

²⁷If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you^(C) without raising questions of conscience. ²⁸But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.^(D) ²⁹I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom^(E) being 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?^(F)

³¹So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.^(G) ³²Do not cause anyone to stumble,^(H) whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God^(I)— ³³even as I try to please everyone in every way.^(J) For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many,^(K) so that they may be saved.^(L) 11 ¹Follow my example,^(M) as I follow the example of Christ.^(N)
