23凡事我都可以做，但並非事事都有益處；凡事我都可以行，但並非事事都造就人。24無論是誰，不要為自己謀利，要為別人謀利。25巿場上賣的肉，你們都可以吃，不必為良心的緣故而詢問什麼，26因為世界和其中的萬物都屬於主。27如果有非信徒邀請你們吃飯，你們又願意去，那麼，桌上擺的各樣食物，你們只管吃，不必為良心的緣故而詢問什麼。28不過，如果有人告訴你這些是獻給偶像的祭物，你為了那告訴你的人和良心的緣故，就不要吃。29不過我指的不是你的良心，而是那人的良心。或許有人說：「我的自由為什麼要受別人的良心限制呢？30如果我存感恩的心吃，為什麼還要受批評呢？」31所以，你們或吃或喝，無論做什麼，都要為上帝的榮耀而做。32不要成為猶太人、希臘人或上帝教會的絆腳石，33就像我凡事儘量讓人滿意，不求自己的好處，只求眾人的好處，以便他們可以得救。

Warning Against Idolatry
1For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,* that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,3and all ate the same spiritual food,4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown* in the wilderness.6Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.7Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.”8We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.9We must not put Christ* to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents,10nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.11Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.12Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.13No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.15I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.16The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?17Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.18Consider the people of Israel:* are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar?19What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?20No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.22Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
Do All to the Glory of God
23“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.24Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.25Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience.26For “the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”27If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.28But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—29I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience?30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?31So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.32Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,33just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
