| There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. | The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. |
| All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. | You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial. |
|
| Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. | Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others. |
| Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. | So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
