1 Corinthians 10:25-31

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.

1 Corinthians 10:25-31

New King James Version

²⁵^(A)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; ²⁶for ^(B)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

²⁷If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, ^(C)eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. ²⁸But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it ^(D)for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; ^[a]for ^(E)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” ²⁹“Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For ^(F)why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? ³⁰But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food ^(G)over which I give thanks?

³¹^(H)Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:25-31

New American Standard Bible

²⁵^(A)Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions, for the sake of conscience; ²⁶^(B)for the earth is the Lord’s, and ^[a]all it contains. ²⁷If ^(C)one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, ^(D)eat anything that is set before you without asking questions, for the sake of conscience. ²⁸But ^(E)if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience; ²⁹Now by “conscience” I do not mean your own, but the other person’s; for ^(F)why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? ³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, ^(G)why am I slandered about that for which I ^(H)give thanks?
