1 Corinthians 10:23-30
Legacy Standard Bible
23 (A)All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things (B)build up. 24 Let no one (C)seek his own good, but that of the other person. 25 (D)Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake. 26 (E)For the earth is the [a]Lord’s, as well as its fullness. 27 If (F)one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, (G)eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake. 28 But (H)if anyone says to you, “This is meat consecrated to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake. 29 I do not mean your own conscience, but the other person’s. For (I)why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with gratefulness, (J)why am I slandered concerning that for which I (K)give thanks?

English Standard Version
Do All to the Glory of God
23 (A)“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. 24 (B)Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. 25 (C)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. 26 For (D)“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, (E)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 (F)your conscience, but his. For (G)why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that (H)for which I give thanks?
