22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things edify.
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
26 for “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”
27 If any of those who do not believe invite you to a feast, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for the sake of conscience.
28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered in sacrifice to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of him that mentioned it and for the sake of conscience, for “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”
