1Corinthians:10:23-11

Seeker Overlay ON

* "All things are lawful ," you say ? But not all things are expedient ; "all things are lawful "; but not all build up . * Let not each one be always seeking his own , but rather his neighbors good . * Eat anything that is for sale in the markets , asking no questions for conscience sake ; * for the earth and its fulness are the Lords . * 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 . * 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 , * 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 ? * If I eat after giving thanks , why am I denounced for eating that for which I have given thanks ?" * Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking , you are to do it all for the glory of God . * Do not be a cause of stumbling either to Jews of to Gentiles , or to the church of God . * 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 .
