1 Corinthians 10:27-33
New International Version
1 Corinthians 10:27-33
New International Version
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you(A) without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.(B) 29 I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom(C) being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?(D)
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.(E) 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble,(F) whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God(G)— 33 even as I try to please everyone in every way.(H) For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many,(I) so that they may be saved.(J)

1 Corinthians 10:27-33
King James Version
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28 But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

1 Corinthians 10:27-33
New King James Version
27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, (A)eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it (B)for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; [a]for (C)“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” 29 “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For (D)why 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 (E)over which I give thanks?
31 (F)Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 (G)Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just (H)as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
