凡物皆宜於我、然不盡有益、凡物皆宜於我、然不受其制、

或以為無不可之物、我則謂不盡有益、或以為無不可之事、我則謂不可役於彼、

物於我無不可用、但不盡有益、物於我無不可用、但我不服於一物、但我不服於一物或作但無一物能主我

『苟非犯罪、萬事皆可為之、』然亦有緩急輕重之分。『苟非犯罪、萬物皆可享之、』然亦不可令外物累吾之心、而使心為形役也。

“ I have the right to do anything,” you say— but not everything is beneficial.“ I have the right to do anything”— but I will not be mastered by anything.

Some of you say,“ I have the right to do anything.” But not everything is helpful. Again some of you say,“ I have the right to do anything.” But I will not be controlled by anything.

“ All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful.“ All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.

You say,“ I am allowed to do anything”— but not everything is good for you. And even though“ I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything.

“ Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial.“ Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

All things are permitted for me, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

“ Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is helpful.“ Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be brought under the control of anything.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

“ All things are lawful for me”– but not everything is beneficial.“ All things are lawful for me”– but I will not be controlled by anything.

“ All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient.“ All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

“ I have the right to do anything,” you say— but not everything is beneficial.“ I have the right to do anything”— but not everything is constructive.No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,for,“ The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.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.I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience?If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. (niv)

No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. (niv)

I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. (niv)

But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall. (niv)

We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. (niv)

See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. (niv)

So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that“ An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that“ There is no God but one.” (niv)

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. (niv)

These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm— shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted— twice dead. (niv)

If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. (niv)
