1 Corinthians 10:23-30

American Standard Version

²³ All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things ^[a]edify. ²⁴ Let no man seek his own, but each ^[b]his neighbor’s good. ²⁵ Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake; ²⁶ for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. ²⁷ If one of them that believe not biddeth you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake. ²⁸ But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience’ sake: ²⁹ conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience? ^30 [c]If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
