1 Corinthians 10:30

1 Corinthians 10:30

28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it ^afor the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake;¹ for ^b“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

29 “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For ^awhy is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?

30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food ^aover which I give thanks?

31 ^aTherefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

32 ^aGive no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,

33 just ^aas I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
