1Corinthians:10:23-11:1
mnt@1Corinthians:10:23 @ "All things are lawful," you say? But not all things are expedient; "all things are lawful"; but not all build up.
mnt@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let not each one be always seeking his own, but rather his neighbors good.
mnt@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat anything that is for sale in the markets, asking no questions for conscience sake;
mnt@1Corinthians:10:26 @ for the earth and its fulness are the Lords.
mnt@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one who is not a believer invites you to his house, and you wish to go, eat everything that is set before you, without asking questions for conscience sake.
mnt@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice," do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you,
mnt@1Corinthians:10:29 @ and for your conscience sake - his conscience, not your own. "But," you may object, "why should my freedom be decided upon anothers scruples of conscience?
mnt@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I eat after giving thanks, why am I denounced for eating that for which I have given thanks?"
mnt@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking, you are to do it all for the glory of God.
mnt@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not be a cause of stumbling either to Jews of to Gentiles, or to the church of God.
mnt@1Corinthians:10:33 @ For so I also try to please all men in every way, not by seeking my own good, but the good of the many, that they may be saved.
mnt@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ.
