1 Corinthians 10 — Context

28

But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

29

Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.

30

But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

31

So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

32

Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.

33

Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.
