1 Corinthians 10:25-33
New American Standard Bible
25 (A)Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions, for the sake of conscience; 26 (B)for the earth is the Lord’s, and [a]all it contains. 27 If (C)one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, (D)eat anything that is set before you without asking questions, for the sake of conscience. 28 But (E)if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience; 29 Now by “conscience” I do not mean your own, but the other person’s; for (F)why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, (G)why am I slandered about that for which I (H)give thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or (I)whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God. 32 (J)Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or (K)the church of God; 33 just as I also (L)please everyone in all things, (M)not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of the many, (N)so that they may be saved.

A Good Minister’s Discipline
6 In pointing out these things to (D)the brothers and sisters, you will be a good (E)servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the (F)good doctrine which you (G)have been following. 7 But [a]stay away from (H)worthless (I)stories that are typical of old women. Rather, [b]discipline yourself for the purpose of (J)godliness; 8 for (K)bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but (L)godliness is beneficial for all things, since it (M)holds promise for the (N)present life and also for the life to come. 9 (O)It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. 10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have set (P)our hope on (Q)the living God, who is (R)the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers.
11 [c](S)Prescribe and teach these things. 12 (T)Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, (U)love, faith, and purity, show yourself (V)an example [d]of those who believe. 13 (W)Until I come, give your attention to the public [e](X)reading, to exhortation, and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was granted to you through words of (Y)prophecy with (Z)the laying on of hands by the [f](AA)council of elders. 15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. 16 (AB)Pay close attention to yourself and to the teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will (AC)save both yourself and those who hear you.
