23 All things are lawful, but all are not expedient; all are lawful, but all do not edify.

24 Let no one seek his own, but that of his neighbor, also.

25 Whatever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question on account of conscience;

26 «for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.»

27 And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you incline to go, whatever is set before you, eat; asking no question on account of conscience.

28 But if any one say to you, This is a thing sacrificed to an idol; do not eat, on account of him who showed it, and of conscience.
