23All things are permitted, but not all things are profitable; all things are permitted, but not all things build up.24Let no one seek his own things, but the things of the other.25Eat all that is sold in the meat market, investigating nothing on account of conscience.26For the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness.27If one of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, investigating nothing on account of conscience.28But if someone says to you, "This is sacrificed to idols," do not eat on account of that one who disclosed it and on account of conscience.29Conscience I mean, not one's own but the other's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?30If I partake by grace, why am I slandered for that for which I give thanks?31Therefore, whether you eat or drink or do anything, do all for the glory of God.32Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the assembly of God.33Just as I please all in all things, not seeking the advantage of myself but of the many, so that they may be saved.
