22 Are we trying to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he is?
23 Someone may say, “I’m allowed to do anything,” but not everything is helpful. I’m allowed to do anything, but not everything encourages growth.
24 People should be concerned about others and not just about themselves.
25 Eat anything that is sold in the market without letting your conscience trouble you.
26 Certainly, “The earth is the Lord’s and everything it contains is his.”
27 If an unbeliever invites you ⌊to his house for dinner⌋, and you wish to go, eat anything he serves you without letting your conscience trouble you.
28 However, if someone says to you, “This was sacrificed to a god,” don’t eat it because of the one who informed you and because of conscience.
