22. Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?
23. “Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,” but not everything builds others up.
24. Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person.
25. Eat anything that is sold in the marketplace without questions of conscience,
26. for the earth and its abundance are the Lord’s.
