All to the Glory of God^(A)

²³ All things are lawful ^[a]for me, but not all things are ^(B)helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things ^[b]edify. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but each one ^(C)the other’s well-being.

^25 (D)Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; ²⁶ for ^(E)“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, ^(F)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 ^(G)for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; ^[c]for ^(H)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” ²⁹ “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For ^(I)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 ^(J)over which I give thanks?
