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. 26 For (B)“the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.” 27 If 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. 28 But 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— 29 I do not mean (D)your conscience, but his. For (E)why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that (F)for which I give thanks?
31 So, whether you eat or drink, or (G)whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

New King James Version
25 (A)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; 26 for (B)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”
27 If 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. 28 But 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? 30 But 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.

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. 27 If (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. 28 But (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; 29 Now by “conscience” I do not mean your own, but the other person’s; for (F)why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, (G)why am I slandered about that for which I (H)give thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or (I)whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:25-31
New Living Translation
25 So you may eat any meat that is sold in the marketplace without raising questions of conscience. 26 For “the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[a]
27 If someone who isn’t a believer asks you home for dinner, accept the invitation if you want to. Eat whatever is offered to you without raising questions of conscience. 28 (But suppose someone tells you, “This meat was offered to an idol.” Don’t eat it, out of consideration for the conscience of the one who told you. 29 It might not be a matter of conscience for you, but it is for the other person.) For why should my freedom be limited by what someone else thinks? 30 If I can thank God for the food and enjoy it, why should I be condemned for eating it?
31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
