24 Let no one seek his own, but each one (A)the other’s well-being.

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

31 (I)Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 (J)Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just (K)as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

  1. 1 Corinthians 10:28 NU omits the rest of v. 28.

24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.(A)

25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,(B) 26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[a](C)

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you(D) without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.(E) 29 I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom(F) being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?(G)

31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.(H) 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble,(I) whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God(J) 33 even as I try to please everyone in every way.(K) For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many,(L) so that they may be saved.(M)
