1 Corinthians 10:23-26
The Believers’ Freedom
23 "Everything is permissible"--but not everything
is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not
everything is constructive. 24 Nobody should seek
his own good, but the good of others. 25 Eat
anything sold in the meat market without raising
questions of conscience, 26 for, "The earth is the
Lord's, and everything in it."
