1 Corinthians 10:27-33

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁷ If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you are disposed to go, 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, out of consideration for the one who informed you and for the sake of conscience— ²⁹ I mean the other’s conscience, not your own. For why should my freedom be subject to the judgment of someone else’s conscience?^{(A) 30} If I partake with thankfulness, why should I be denounced because of that for which I give thanks?^(B)

³¹ So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.^{(C) 32} Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,^{(D) 33} just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage but that of many, so that they may be saved.^(E)
