1 Corinthians 10:26-32 Good News Bible (GNB)

26. For, as the scripture says, “The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord.”

27. If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you decide to go, eat what is set before you, without asking any questions because of your conscience.

28. But if someone says to you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat that food, for the sake of the one who told you and for conscience' sake —

29. that is, not your own conscience, but the other person's conscience.“Well, then,” someone asks, “why should my freedom to act be limited by another person's conscience?

30. If I thank God for my food, why should anyone criticize me about food for which I give thanks?”

31. Well, whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do it all for God's glory.

32. Live in such a way as to cause no trouble either to Jews or Gentiles or to the church of God.
